I have a Million Things I need to do... So I did this instead.

I have a goal to use what I have, and if you could see my studio I have a lot, of stuff. Bags full of straws, pipe cleaners, feathers, glitter. (I really should have been a children s art teacher, but I am a little possessive of my junk. I am working on getting over that watching by Hoarders) I love that show, I am a little bit obsessed.


So using only stuff I already have I am going to make decorations for this beautiful tree that Ari picked out. (He did a good job) It is so perfect it almost looks fake. The presents under the tree are a collections of Christmas books that we re-wrap, so we open and ready one every night.



So this Silver Tinsel ribbon that I picked up before Zims went out of business (tear) and my box of book pages were my inspirations.
And this is what I made.....



Real simple and kind of cute. During the process I couldn't decide how I wanted the paper layered so I did this trial, I randomly punched out some paper and this is what I came up with. Perfect.


So that was a pretty good way to put off what I really need to do. This blogging thing really could become a handy way to avoid what I am suppose to be doing. (PTA IS FOR THE BIRDS, Just a warning).


I can't wait to make one of John.
