Crafty Weekend

My daughter, grands, and niece

came for a visit......

We had a fun weekend

crafting and

treasure hunting

at local flea markets

We decorated jars.....my granddaughter made

the one on the left for her new teacher

I showed my daughter and niece how
to make a blackboard

I found this old frame at the flea market

for $1.00, painted it white, distressed it

& added some paper flowers

(I use the glass that came in the

frame to paint my blackboard)

My niece is getting married in October

and wanted a chalkboard for part

of her wedding decor

and now she has one!!!!

I used a smalled frame (one I had already painted white

and had stashed in my closet for a future project)

 to make another chalkboard

My daughter will use this one

in her classroom

 My niece taught us how to make roses out

of book pages

She is using these paper roses,

book page wreaths and

mason jars to decorate

the tables for her reception

She has some awesome ideas for decorations

at her wedding and has had her entire family

and fiancee helping her with the crafts

so we jumped right in and did our part!!!

We even had my grandson crafting!!!!

You can't have this much fun without making a mess!!!!!

By Sunday morning everyone

was gone.......but they had left me

in the crafting mood, so...........

I decided to decorate some of

my bottles and jars

Every Little Birdie says-

Spending time with my family,

flea market shopping,

and crafting

What an awesome weekend!!
