Crafting Time 30 day Updating Challenge

Crafting Time will be starting a 30 day updating challenge to create a user friendly space for crafting. You will see blogs all about what to do and what to change. Organizing is only part of a solution and cleaning up and tossing out trash all helps. I will be starting in a room from scratch. And building it up.

You can follow me and create what you need to be creative in your space as well.

Each day will be something different. And you can see the my room by following me on Facebook.com/craftingTimeCathleen or on this blog. We will be starting Dec 26th, 2020 and end I hope on January 25th.

I will post a calendar soon, so you can follow Crafting Time.

Lighted Snowman

This adorable Smowman melts my heart. He is made with 3 glass globe vases and glued together. Leaving the bottom open for a bright push light can shine all through the 3 globe vases.

There are so many styles, so pick from and the style you like will be perfect to make it. Some like 2 snowballs, some like no top hats and rather have a baseball cap instead. Create your stylish Snowman this season.
