Glitter and glue~

YAY!  I finished the project.  I totally did it and for less than $5.00 how cool is that.  I got the wreath from my mom and recycled it.  It was an Easter wreath that needed some serious help when she told me I could have it.  Then my neighbor down the road picked up two bags of pine cones from her back yard for me.  All I ended up having to buy was more glue sticks and the ornaments which happened to be on Christmas clearance at Wal-Mart.  So excited about this project being done because it took up my enitre dining table and had me covered in glitter and glue for the better part of a week.  Anyway I think it turned out really well and I owe a big THANK YOU to both Dee and my mom for making donation for the cause.  On to the next project!!

Glitter me giddy!!

Okay so while trolling web sites the other day I happend across a page where a woman had one of these hanging in front of her fireplace and I thought...HEY I really like that.  The more I looked at it I thought hey I want that and I can make it.  So later that same day I'm strolling down the Hobby Lobby Christmas clearance isle and there it was.....it was a sign from GOD!  There in front of me at 75% off was a cardboard Christmas stringer...woo hoo!  I grabbed it paid a little of nothing and primered, glitter and mod podged my way to this gloriousness.  Oh I just love it when things go my way!!  Now I just have to wait until next Christmas to use it.  I know it seems like forever but surely I can remain patient!?

 Here is a shot of the back side.  I primered it but did not glitter it because well I was sick when I did this and sneezing and glitter don't mix well.

 Oh look at it....let the shine lure you in.  You know there is just no better place than those dang clearance isles.
