and since I am still trying to grasp the idea that Christmas is only
a few weeks from now.. ????
I decided to make a Countdown to Christmas plaque.. a gentle reminder if you will. :0)
As if I really need a reminder... I get lots of daily 'in your face' emails reminding me
to SHOP now, and so on.. am I right? :0)
Anywhoooo.... (deep breath & sigh)
I went through my craft supplies and gathered up a few items for this project.
A small wood plaque, modge podge, foam brush, scrapbooking paper and embellishments, as well as
scissors, ribbon, and a chalkboard label.
I cut my paper down to size, and using modge podge stuck it into place.
Then I used a festive border sticker across the upper portion..
Added my Chalkboard Label sticker...
Then added some embellishments.. and using puff paint I wrote 'days til'..
(not exactly perfect, perhaps a paint pen or permanent marker would've been a better
choice... but it works... ha. )
After it was dry I simply used it in a well seen area of the home.. the kitchen! :0)
(alert: It was 22 days til Christmas when I took the photo, but today however, it
is only 21 days til Christmas! I want to make sure you are aware that
Christmas is only 3 weeks away! Whew, that was a close one! ha..
