Bookmarks Done

This picture makes them look like a Fourth of July theme but they look much better in person.

  We also started the wine cork trivet we are making for my parents.  Needless to say, Christmas present crafting will continue into December.  I have decided that I am not going to make presents for the kids.  I don't have the time to make something cool enough for them to like.
See you next month!

Things Are Happening

The bookmarks are taking longer than expected but will be done soon.  I will probably wait to post a picture of them until I give them out.  I've also made some wine cork coasters that turned out a lot better than expected.  They key is getting your husband to cut the corks for you :)

Getting My Craft On

Only two months left of this year.  CRAZY!!  November has started off nicely with my husband getting a new job :)  So, now that I can focus on other things, I am ready to get my craft on.

The plan this month is to make all of the Christmas presents we are giving to family and friends.  I am adding a stipulation that I can buy something from Craigslist or Goodwill if I am desperate.  I hope to share ideas and pictures of some of the gifts but will keep some a surprise.  My best friend this month will be Pinterest.  If you haven't checked it out yet, you should.

But first is my annual book club craft.  Each year I make everyone a bookmark with a list of all the books we read that year.  It is fun to look back on since this is our 5th year!  I am excited this year because I have a theme to work around...The Night Circus.  If you haven't read it, you should.
