Halloween Painted Luminaries

, by . 17 Comments

I’ve struggled for the last two weeks about whether or not I should post this. Why? Because it’s one of my crafts. The last thing I want people to think is that I am using this venue to further my own blog. That’s just not it at all. See, I’ve actually had a few people email me and tell me I should feature these. At first I said no because of what I stated above. One person even said “hog wash”. Ha! I haven’t heard that in ages. So I am taking a chance and posting these today in hopes that you all won’t mind and won’t think that I am trying to self promote. These have been extremely popular on my blog so I hope that you like them. 🙂

See my step by step tutorial so you can make your own Halloween luminaries.

  10. If you had seen this on someone else’s blog, you totally would have mentioned them here. Thank you for sharing. I wouldn’t have seen them otherwise, and am off to go check out the directions to see if this is something I can make with my girls and my nephews. Thank you!

  12. Seriously … when you have something as cute as these, I say post it!! I didn’t even know you had a blog, but now I do, and I’m glad that I do. I just really, really, REALLY wish you had posted these a few weeks ago, before I threw away a couple of dozen glass mayo jars that my Dad had been saving for my niece’s science project (she didn’t use them all). Anyway, I hope you will post more of your own creations!! Thanks so much for sharing!!! Have a lovely evening!

  13. I think they are lovely. I also think that if you are open about when it is one of your crafts that people have liked then there is no conflict of interest.

Taste of Home Handmade Christmas

Hi everyone! I recently got my hands on the book “Taste of Home Handmade Christmas” and let me tell you, it’s a real gem. If you’re someone who loves to create and give homemade gifts during the holidays, this book is for you.

The book is filled with so many creative and fun ideas for homemade gifts, from whimsical elves made of felt to custom greeting cards. The best part is that it caters to all levels of crafting experience, so whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting out, you’ll find projects that you’ll love making. The Canning Lid Coasters, Pinecone Fire Starters and Silver Chain Earrings are some of my personal favorites.

The book is divided into chapters that cover different aspects of holiday decorating and gift-giving. The “Deck the Halls” chapter is all about home décor and makes for ideal hostess gifts. The “Easy Jewelry Ideas” chapter is perfect for those of us who aren’t pro crafters but still want to create impressive pieces. “Nature Inspired Surprises” is for those who want to share their love of the great outdoors with friends and family. And the “Kitschy Christmas” chapter is for those who love to bring a little humor to the holidays, with silly toys and treats for Fido.

One of my favorite things about this book is that it’s so user-friendly. The projects are simple and easy to follow, with clear instructions and plenty of helpful tips. Plus, many of the projects can be done with kids, which makes them a great family activity.

I highly recommend the “Taste of Home Handmade Christmas” to anyone who loves to create and give homemade gifts during the holidays. It’s filled with so many inspiring and fun ideas, and the best part is that you can make gifts that will touch hearts and create memories that will last a lifetime. So what are you waiting for? Grab a copy today and get crafting!
