Just Got This in the Mail

Remember my EBSQ Portrait Swap doll post a few weeks ago? Well, this is the portrait of me that Madeline Matz did. I just got it in the mail today. Fun, huh?

Monday Crafting Crew - Bookmark Books

We made a bunch of these bookmark books today for a little party favor for a lunch Diane is hosting on Friday. Wouldn't they make the best book club favors too? They are so fun and easy to make and useful too. What more could you ask for?

Ours ended up about 6" long and 2" wide. They have 10 pages of blank white paper in them. I think my next batch I'll make them a little narrower just so they are even more bookmarky.

Silent Lesson Books

Made about 34 of these tonight for a church meeting next week. I was happy with the way they turned out. Very simple, but pretty, I think. (Of course I would have to photograph the one where the title was glued on crooked!) :-) We got the idea for the Silent Lesson here.

While I was making these I was thinking about some crafting theories I have:

1. Everything looks better with a bunch of ribbon tied to it (I LOVE ribbon!):



2. Things always look cute in a cellophane bag (cookies and candy included!):

3. A little Mod Podge and some paper can make almost anything pretty:

It's Monday so We're Crafting!!

How fun are these? My daughter got this blanket when she was born. I don't think she ever used it but I set it aside because I LOVE the print on it. So Diane and I made these pillows today from one baby blanket. Don't they just look like snuggly pajamas? They are thick, squishy fleece, so they feel just like snuggly pajamas too!
