Itch No More

My itch to craft ended last night as Cam went on a "guys night out" and I stayed home and made this for Valentine's Day. I got the tin can from Target's dollar spot (love that place!). Here's the tutorial I followed...

I also made these rosette balls for Syd's room (I really should move her out of the "baby nursery" since she is almost three, but then that means my baby is actually growing up... I'm not quite ready for that)...

and then I stumbled upon yet another crafty blog (and she's an avid thrift store shopper for cool decor and trinkets... music to my heart!) where I made this incredibly SIMPLE monogrammed platter in less than 3 minutes... no joke! Here's the tutorial for the platter...



Instead of buying and spray painting a cool platter from the thrift store, I just used one of my excess chargers that we have for fancy occasions. The font I used was Monotype Corsiva in MS Word with a font size of 600. But you can always download cool free fonts here as well. Then I did just as the tutorial said, and glued it on using nothing other than a basic glue stick! Of course this is for decoration only, but how simple?

Anyway, I've scratched my crafting itch for now, thanks for admiring my proud crafts with me!
