12 Days of Christmas: Day 11

On the 11th Day of Christmas My Crafty Friends Gave to Me.........


A Crafty Gift Idea by Nancy Dynes ( TatteredTreasures on You Tube): Altered box and Iced Snowflakes

I was so excited when Patti and Doreen invited me to participate in their 12 Days of Christmas event! I created this altered box and set of Christmas ornaments to share with you. Today I’ll show you how to take a cereal box and some plastic packaging material and turn them into these vintage inspired ‘iced snowflake’ ornaments. I just love taking items we would normally toss out and upcycling them into something to treasure. My best wishes to all for a happy Christmas!

A Baking Idea by Patti Carrow:  Soda Cracker Cookies
This is a popular cookie at Christmas time in my house. This recipe was given to me by my Mother In Law. When she was alive she would make these every year and if she didn't the Grandkids would complain! I now am in charge of making these delicious cookies every year! I don't mind making them at all because they are my favorite too, and they are so easy to make even in large batches!

Joanne's Soda Cracker Cookie's
2 sticks of butter
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 bag of semi sweet chocolate chips
soda crackers ( about 1-1/2 rows)
aluminum foil
baking sheet
medium saucepan
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Lay soda crackers in a single layer on foiled lined baking sheet. set aside. In a medium saucepan put the 2 sticks of butter and brown sugar. Bring to a boil on medium heat stirring constantly till all the butter is melted. When it starts to boil set your timer for exactly 3 minutes. Stir the butter/ brown sugar sauce for the 3 minutes. When the timer goes off remove from heat and pour over soda crackers. Spread evenly making sure each cracker is covered. Place in oven for exactly 7 minutes. Remove from oven after the 7 minutes is up and immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips on top. Wait a few minutes for the chips to melt and spread evenly. Refrigerate for several hours. remove from fridge and peal away the aluminum foil from the bottom carefully. Now break off pieces ( you can cut them if you want them even) and add to a container. Make sure you keep these babies in the fridge to keep them crunchy! 


These cookies make great gifts! 

Also, my kids still like to watch them bubble up when they are in the oven! They thought it was magic when they were younger! Think of it as 7 minutes of peace and quiet! 


Thank you Nancy for your amazing project!!!!

A Crafty Decor Idea by Violet Foskey: A Altered Candle Jar






And.......


Another Crafty Decor Idea by Kari Sanchez: A Pine Spray for over your Door

First off, it is greenery I put over my door or a Christmas picture and usually I just put white lights in it and hang it up but since I am getting a purple tree I thought ah ha! I can finally decorate purple and silver like I been wanting to for years...have to admit that it took some time and yet was a lot of fun to come up with it.  Also didn't realize I ran out of a lot of supplies...hehe...so I improvise...and I made two projects instead of one for ya to see how we can use the flowers I learned to make...which was a lot of fun!!!

Take the greenery and fluff it up ...especially if it has been in storage...hehe...

then I use a ribbon I was given by my pastor's wife for me just because....she knows how I LOVE purple...hehe...so I just put it throughout the greenery and tied the beginning and the end of what I wanted to use...I love how it is full of texture and silver bling....then I had a little piece leftover to make a bow and tied that to the bottom below.

  

Then I made some of these pretty purple flowers out of different color cardstock...which was a lot of fun but does take time to make and twirl...as you can see by my pic you can make them any size basically I did just that from small to a larger to give it dimension.  You cut a square of cardstock and i do like 2x2, 3x3, and up....then you cut a circle then you cut the circle all around the shape so you can twirl it up but also near the end make a small circle so you can use that as a base to stand the flower and then once you twirl it up you let go a bit and then the flower comes out and on the circle part of the last part of what you cut is your base to hold the flower and I glue gun mine but you can use any strong glue like Helmar or Aleene's.

  Then I cut out some green leaves to give my flower some real life...hehe. 

Then I just glue gun the flowers all over the greenery and voila!  So pretty! I wanted to add pearl gems to it and mist it up ...then I found out ...gasp...I am out...then went to look for mica...gasp...out....hehe...so my flowers will be blinged up some more later but I think it looks cute as is.  Hope this at least inspires you try your hand at making something like this and it can also be used as a center piece for a table and have candles added...(didn't have that either)....

well I had so much fun making the flower that I made another project...

I made a pin that you can wear anytime of the year but also makes a great gift and in any color but I decided to make this for me...hehe...

I used a piece of lace from what I ordered actually from Ooh-La-La-Vintage Store....the have awesome lace ribbons and more...yummy...anyways to get back on track here..I cut a piece of white lace and trimmed 2 inches...folded in half and glued it to make a little poof then added some flowers (put a white bead pin centers) and a leaf and voila...a cute pin to wear! 

Thanks for letting me be here to give some gift/Christmas ideas...Merry Christmas to you all.

In His Love,

Kari
