Count Your Many Blessings

On this Thanksgiving Day,
I'd like to take a moment to say
how blessed I am to be able to do what I love
and share it with you here on my blog!

Rustic Trees and Junky Snowmen

With all of the snow we had last week,
I got motivated to get my home a little bit winterized.
Let me show you what I put together!

Let It Snow Shovel Sign

I pulled this shovel out of the trash pile at work.
Who throws away a teal shovel??
Well, the guys I work with do.
I suppose they didn't see any use for it anymore since it's no good for shoveling.
But I think it makes a pretty snazzy winter sign!

Cake Pan Snowman Chalkboard

We're in full-out winter now here in Michigan.
I am not excited.
But it certainly does make it a bit easier to get working on Christmas projects.
Today's project is a new snowman I made from cake pans.

Wooden Block Snowmen

As I sit at the computer, the snow is blowing outside my window.

I, for one, am not ready for winter weather.

But what do you do?

Especially when you live in Michigan and have lake effect snow on an almost daily basis!

They've been talking about snow for over a week so it comes as no surprise.

And I guess you just have to embrace it and deal!

Well, I'm dealing by making snowmen!

Like the wooden block snowmen I'm sharing with you today.

Farm Fresh Eggs Pallet Sign

I got so busy last weekend making signs and Christmas stuff
for a show this weekend that I forgot to use my time wisely
and take pictures during the daylight hours!

One thing that definitely stinks about setting our clocks back
is that it's dark out when I get home from work in the evenings.
But I did manage to snap a few pictures of this sign
in the 20 minutes of light before I had to leave for work this morning!

Insulator Snowmen Ornaments

It's certainly not easy for me to get in the Christmas mood

at the beginning of November.

Especially when I'm dreading cold weather and snow.

But, as a crafter and blogger, I had to suck it up and get my Christmas on!

And what better way to do it than with a fun repurpose!

Ammo Box Table

I'm going to start of today's post by giving myself a nice little pat on the back!
Why, you ask?
Because I built this table. All. By. Myself!
And I'm feeling pretty darn proud!
