Good Evening Friends. I have a new saying today, and I believe it is as good as Martha Stewart's "It's a Good Thing." I am note saying, "Glitter Makes Everything Better!" (If someone is using this, has thought of this, has it on their blog, I apologize...I did not steal it.) It came to me as I was doing my projects.  I went a little Glitter Crazy!! I would put it on something and say, "Glitter Makes Everything Better!" to myself.  So here are the latetst in the series, Craft a Day While Colt's Away!

Craft a Day While Colt's Away (CADWCA) #2

Good Morning Fellow Bloggers!  Colt arrived in Baghdad last nite safely. Here is the #2 project, quickly done this morning.  Am heading out in about an hour for a 8 hour round trip to a Volleyball playoff game for our High School that my Daughter cheers for.  But as promised here it is.  (ONLY 363 more or so to go!)  It makes me laugh to think about it!  Love you all...

Started out with a Plain, White Canvas (3.47 for a pack of three then 40% off at Michaels.)

  I then Modpodged Limey Green Mulberry Paper onto the canvas.  I used an Eiffel Tower Image I got off the computer.  Then scrapbook paper for the Black and White, trimmed with Red Ribbon, stamped around the edge of frame with Love Amour stamp.  To finish added a crystal to the top of the Eiffel Tower.

Craft a Day While Colt's Away (CADWCA) #1

In my morning post I talked about our Son heading to Iraq this morning.  While I have been thinking about him ALOT today I came upon an idea.  I am going to attempt something BIG.  A Craft a Day until he comes home.  Wow, can I do this I ask?  I am going to try.  Here is #1......

Started out with a wooden box that you can make into a purse.
I removed all the hardware...

I then covered in Scrapbook Paper, sanded the edges,
 Used Distress Ink to age it and added a metal piece and old Perfume bottle Cap..

Painted the Inside Tiffiny Blue...

All finished and ready for notes to Colt....

Have a Blessed Day Everyone......
