Personalized Gifts

I have been plugging away at all kinds of new goodies and have done some "just for fun" projects lately. I hope you enjoy the latest craft idea and send me some pics if you decide to make them and you could win a fabulous prize! This month craft was a mason jar project. I have been looking every where for something unique to keep our little coffee collection in. After month with pretty much no luck I decided to work with my budget and make my own. I took a few wide mouth mason jars and headed up to my "studio" to see what I could come up with to decorate them and create interchangeable labels. I found some unique linen paper (it feels more like fabric then paper). I sprayed them with my walnut antiquing spray then stamped them and embellished them with random items I had at home. I used a hole punch on either end and strung some cute ribbon in and then tied them around the jars. Now I have NEW CLEAN Super SEALING jar to keep my coffee beans cute and fresh!

The photo shoot earlier this month went great (with Karen DeMamiel photography) so be expecting some great photos of all the new items Peek-A-Shoe has to offer. Our little models did a fabulous job. Thank you to everyone that brought out their kiddos! Your photos are up on Karens website and you can view them by sending myself or her a message to get the password! the rest of you can view them next week at peekashoe.etsy.com!

Finally:

Tutu classes are coming up in September so be on the look out and get ready to sign up! October brings sewing 101 and will be providing you with the basics you need to start crafting away! I think this will be the year of hand made as we see the Economy taking it sweet old time in recuperating! So come prepared with any ideas you would like help with and I would love to get you started with handmade gifts for the season!
