Congrats to Barb Mullikin for being today's winner of the light switch covers. Barb email me your address and we'll get them out to you.
Found you guys a few weeks ago and I Love You!!! Megan, I am your biggest fan, check your CC and find out!! Just kidding. These are just the coolest things. We moved into a new house this past summer and I could really use those light switch covers. Thanks!!
We are getting down to the wire on gift giving ideas and I hope everyone has gotten some inspiration from what we've shown the last couple of months. I think next weeks Taco Tuesday is my most favorite and I can't believe we're giving this item away....it's awesome! Since next week is Christmas I'm sure everyone will be getting their last minute preps done literally at the last minute, so we'll extend out the postings til Saturday to pick who wins.
You girls have really come through in sending us pics on what you're making.
Suzanne Raif sent this picture of a plaque she made, beautiful work Suzanne.
Kathryn Dunn did these cute ornaments, they look like they could be wood or papermache as the base. The stand is even cute. Great use of the different colors of metal Kathryn. FYI, you can cover dowels with metal and that thought just popped into my pea brain as I was looking at this photo and I may do that for a future video to show everyone how easy it is.
Betsy Prior did this box with one of our Big Daddy Molds and it's fabulous. Betsy has the distinction of being our favorite customer of all time, because one week she called us every single day at least 4 times a day to add more stuff to her order.
When we get an order from Betsy we wait a week before we pull it because she adds to it daily. However, now she's gotta have everything we produce!
Thank You....Betsy!
This is the side view of that same box.
Madeline Kinnaman sent in this journal that she did with our molds. I love how she uses the negative space within the harlequin pattern. Madeline, you rock!
Susan Constantin sent us in her version of our "Joy" on the little frames. She attached them to the side of the candle holder which is a hot idea. Love it.
Here, Susan, added a photo using the same technique for a memory ornament. Lovely work Susan.
And, on a final note.....I finally got my blonde hair, blue eyed granddoggie. Megan went down to the dog shelter in Dallas and came home with this little cutie. She named her Chloe and she's a mix of some Heinz 57 sort. She's about 6 months old and supposedly won't get very large, and we've heard that story before.
She is such a sweet dog and totally wears out the other two who were getting lonely. So far she hasn't barked much....yet.
Hope all of you have a wonderful stress-free, shop til you drop weekend.
Cheryl -
What great projects everyone has made. Everything looks fantastic! And Chloe is so sweet looking, what a cutie! Happy Holidays to everyone.

Ooooh!! Thanks for posting these photos. They are all wonderful!!! I love seeing what others are doing!!! Ms. Dunn's ornaments look a lot better than what I was planning (I'm going to steal her ideas). Cheryl, did you notice that Ms. Constatin put metal around the glass votives inside the candle holder? Nice touch.
Merry Christmas everyone!!
