Crafty Schmafty Fridays 5

-
Oh, dear!!! What a week! I'm up to my eyeballs in restoring my soul, as I started Brave Girls Club "Soul Restoration" class this week. It's an awesome class . . . and I am learning a great deal about healing ME. Such a great experience.

In the midst of all of that . . . came along our FRIDAY Crafty gathering! YAY!!!

Here is a short and sweet one, friends. A little something I did a few weeks ago, and was just waiting to share with you. So let us begin, my loves. Welcome to this weeks . . .

 
This week, just a quick crafty idea when gift giving comes up in your life. As you may recall from earlier this year, I said I wanted to (very much) make gifts for loved ones this year. But sometimes . . . a money gift is called for. (Like, for my 18 year old nephew.) While I knew that I would be giving him money, I wanted to make sure I made some part of it. So, I gathered some cool vintage die cuts and paper, some washi tape, and the money
 

And instead of just putting the money inside the card . . . I rolled it up . . . and taped the rolls together.


 Next, I added some cool little orange pieces of paper and made the bills look like a candle.


Here's one more . . . closer . . . look.


I love how it came out, and my nephew loved it to!

So that's this weeks "Crafty Schmafty Friday" post. Hope you enjoyed it!

Stop by over the weekend for a heartfelt post about the really good eggs in my life. It's a good one, for sure!

Wishing you Peace, my friends!

My Dream Home Smash Book

Have you ever heard of a Smash Book? If you are a scrapbooker or art journal person, you may have. If you are not one of those types, you may not have. I am a scrapbooker . . . but had no idea what a Smash Book was. That is, until my dear friend Peggy brought hers to our Scrapbook Cellar gathering last month. She introduced us all to her cool little composition journal, and the conversation went something like this: PK :  Here is my Smash book. Me : Your what? PK : My Smash Book. Me : Like, smash, what? PK : Smash . . . things. You know. Like, stuff. Me : What? PK : See . . . I will put stuff in here. Junk. Things I don't want to lose, but don't know what to do with. Me : Huh? PK : Smash. Me : I don't get it. PK : Google it. CE (our friend, Cindi, who just entered the conversation and saw was PK was holding): Oh, a Smash Book! Cool! Me : Huh? CE : Google it. LT (my sister, Laura, who is right there with me): I don't get it. So, I googled it. ...

Any Day Now . . .

Any day now . . . Any day now . . . we will see you in all your glory, and the memory of past Springs will become our reality once again.  Any day now . . . I will walk passed you and be reminded of that scene in "Willie Wonka" . . . Gene Wilder as "Willie Wonka" image obtained from Google Image Search. Original site unknown. . . . when Gene Wilder drinks something (that I like to imagine is the sweetest, butteriest, most amazing thing) from a buttercup, and I'll wish just once I could do the same with you. Any day now . . . I will turn the corner of our block and find you waiting for me with your petals wide open, as if wanting to give me a Spring hug, and your scent will make me feel as if the heavens have opened up and sprinkled sweet smells over us all. Any day now . . . can't come soon enough.

Howdy Friends!!! Hope this post finds you all doing well! As part of my blog series "100 Things to Do with Grapes"  (STOP - wait a minute .... are you kidding me??? I don't have a blog series about grapes!!! Oh - but just imagine if I did!!!), I just had to share with you one of my very all time favorite summer treats . . .  Ok, are you even slightly interested? Hang in there with me, ok? Because this easy, summer "yum" is bound to be a favorite of YOURS!!!! That is . . . unless you have a peanut allergy. If you have a peanut allergy, I would STRONGLY ADVISE AGAINST making this treat. (Come back Monday for another more appropriate post for you.) If you DON'T have peanut allergy . . . run to the store RIGHT NOW and pick up these three things . . . Seriously . . . it only takes these three things; green grapes, lightly salted dry roasted peanuts, and a bag of white chips. Seriously . . . that is all! So, how do you make these awesome snackies?...
