Mt. Laurel Fall Festival was a success!






Today was the Mt. Laurel Fall Festival....my first art show!!! First and foremost, I want to say a huge thank you to my mom, Lesa and my bestest friend, Anne Rae for helping me out today! I appreciate it more than they know. I also want to say a special thank you to all my family and friends that came to check out the show as well. It was very special to me to see you all there. I had a very successfull first show and I made some great contacts! I must say, the honorable mention of the day goes to... Mary & Holly...my new friends who I am naming my "Number One Fans". They were a hoot and I believe are my new blogging buddies! Sorry Holly, you didn't win the raffle. McCall Harwell won the raffle today! Congratulations!!!! I had a blast today and I hope this is the start of more "krafts" to come! Again, thank you to everyone who came to check out my booth today, please email me for orders...Christmas is coming very quickly! :)

Initial blocks...for adults! :)


I made these for a friend of mine. She works at Mt. Brook High School and wanted some initial blocks for her desk at work. I stayed true to the "Spartan" green and gold so she would display the utmost school spirit! These are a great idea for someone's desk at work. Definitely a conversation starter!

More Frames


Here are more frames that I have made. I like to think of the middle two as "a wink and a nudge" to Auburn and Alabama fans. How cute would these frames be for children or adults with a picture of your family tailgaiting?! Just like the other frames shown below in a past blog, they can be personalized.

Newest Item!



This is the newest addition to my line of Krafts....letter blocks! Just like the bigger blocks and picture frames, they can be covered with hundreds of possibilites of color schemes. These will make the perfect addition to any nursery or children's room. You can even mix them up to be able to teach your child how to spell their own name!

These blocks are much smaller than the others. They measure approx. 1.75 inches x 1.75 inches. They sell for $5 a piece with a cap at $40 (i.e. if your child's name is longer than eight letters, the most I will charge you is $40). I've had the most fun making these, I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

Samples...




I am making sample blocks for the Mt. Laurel show on October 18th. I'm just making one block with different paper options. Obviously, when you purchase a set, you will get 3 blocks with the same paper option.

These are the first few that I've made. (some great "girl" options!)

Picture Frames



Here are a couple examples of the picture frames I am making. As you can see they can be personalized if you prefer. Picture frames always make a great gift, for children and adults! Just like the blocks, the possibilities are endless! Think of holiday themed frames, "first day of school", or even sports themed. The frames measure 8 1/2 by 11 inches and hold a 4x6 picture. They are made of solid wood and include a glass protectant for the picture. I am charging $25 for the frame, $30 if you wish to personalize it.
