I Heart Snowmen





Remember I was telling you that I decided to create something from Styrofoam for a challenge on DYITheDish. I even had posted what the beginnings looked like on my table and some inspiration I found. Oh and the late afternoon when we (Sammie helping me) were trying to catch the last bright sunlight to take these photos to capture the entry for the contest. Wind was blowing, they were toppling, leaves and shadows to deal with but finally some decent pictures! & my entry was submitted! Well here are the snowmen all ready for the Christmas holidays! I hope you like how they turned out as much as I did! I think I am inspired to make them a little snow display where I'll set them for the holidays. maybe even a cape or hat will be added. Well, I have a secret to share with you later, so I hope you come back soon to see what it is! Can you guess? I promise to share soon! Have you started any holiday projects yet?

Styrofoam Crafts

Halloween crafts made from StyrofoamHalloween Inspiration~
A Craft Challenge to enter~

Oh hello friends, yes I am always looking for inspiration and as you know on the web it's sources are never ending. I had to share this as I was at Michaels' the other day and yes of all things I bought some round Styrofoam balls. What for ever did you say? Well I saw a tutorial for some vintage Christmas decorations and I thought I must give it a try!
Sometimes I think that is part of my problem I am the proverbial craft junkie always hopping from idea to idea. So here is another example of hopping on another idea for Styrofoam balls and Halloween & Christmas ideas. Of course I almost got a cone or two when I was there thinking Christmas trees but I didn't purchase them and now I will have to return to pick up some other shapes~
Any way, I hope you enjoy the video and if you enter their contest I would love to see what you make so don't forget to tell me about it because I know you are crafty ladies & of course gents too! When my projects are done I promise to post them!
Have you crafted with Styrofoam? What did you make? Do you think you will enter the contest? I would love to know~
