With the two foster babies back with their mom (and no more to replace them) I have had a little bit of time on my hands...but not too much. Jacob and Andrew keep me busy - that's for sure. For those who don't know my calling in my ward is Relief Society Activities Leader (formerly known as Enrichment Leader). We are getting ready for our "Christmas in October" activity and I had to get some demos done for display. So lately I have been feeling a bit crafty. I even cut the wood myself after a couple lessons from my dear husband on how to use the wood cutting machines in his shop. They're kind of fun to work with. Check out what I've done so far.
Picture Blocks - 2x2 blocks of wood with pictures on them. Secured with Modge Podge (that stuff is Wonderful!!!) The boys lllooovvveee playing with these - making the pictures (especially Bogart with the santa hat). By the way - the pictures need to be professionally printed (like at Rite Aid or Target) not from you're printer. Modge Podge will smear the ink.
Wall Art - These are 12x12 pieces of plywood, 12x12 scrapbook pages and 1 8x10 picture. Using modge podge again to secure the scrapbook paper in place and then the photo on top of the scrapbook paper. Oh Yeah! And ribbon on the edges. 
Halloween Lumiaries - These are soooo cute! they are just painted canning jars with acrylic paint then sprayed with Clear Glaze spray. It was so easy the boys helped me. Jacob's is the green one, Andrew's is yellow, and mine is orange. The other idea with this is using white paint to make ghosts. Then put battery powered tea lights (got mine at the dollar tree) inside at night time and they look really cool! I may do more of these instead of pumpkins!
