stick stars, holiday decorating & craft

getting a bit crafty around here.
and on the cheap.
i think these stick stars will make an awesome window display... we'll soon see.
was inspired by this and this.

so far, a little more time consuming than i had counted on.
the story of my life!

Donna,
I am having a bad day. One of those kick in the pants - totally unappreciated - No self-esteem - What am I doing with my life kind of days - But your stars, your beautiful, time-consuming stars, remind me why life is so grand. The simplicity of it all. How simple things make everything better. I am smiling now!

Love these stars. I can picture them hanging at the window.
I have just found you contributed to the 2012 owl calender for Myowlbarn. I was so pleased; I chose your owl for January so as to start the new year with bright colours. I found about this site at the end of 2010 and I love it.

lOL! I don't think our brains are wired for "how long will this take me" but "ooooooo! I MUST make that!" Then maybe a justifying, "Oh surely it won't take long?" Hee heee hee.

Well it's a lovely idea, and simple. The natural colors are wonderful but I could also see them spray painted white, or gold, or glittered.

I have a collection of glitter sprinkled pine cones I bring out for the holidays and they are so simple and pretty.
