Holy Mackerole--My 10 seconds of Fame

I was just on HGTV's 25 Great Holiday Ideas yesterday...well, one of my projects that is...but it still was really cool to see something that I made from "paper and glue" and see it on my t.v....how cool is that......Here's a link to the video and you can see it on the computer also...Video of project .....just click on the candy trees one and my project comes up in that little segment...that really made my morning when I watched this show....if you get this channel, you have really got to watch this show...there are so many inspiring ideas for decorations in it....I can't wait to try some of them here at our house for Christmas....

I thought I would share the project here and a couple of other ones that I made a couple years back....

The first one is the paper cone people that I made using a birthday party hat as a template...and just filled one of the little mesh thingies that you get fruit in during the holidays with some cinn. sticks and small pine cones and tucked up underneath for a holiday sent on our buffett table...

Here's some stuffed qt paint cans that I made to tuck some Christmas gifts inside..they all came with a little paint can opener attached so they didn't have to search for something to open the can with...

this little elf ended up being a little dorky...lol..

This was my favorite paint can that I had made that year...I made it for a Christmas swap and I added some scrappin goodies inside...

Well, I thought I'd share my exciting news with everyone...I hope everyone had a glorious Thanksgiving and didn't eat to much...we haven't had much time over here to really enjoy this past week...it's one of the busiest times of the year for us with work...so today is just a relaxing day...and then it's back to our regular scheduled program on Monday...school, more work...need I say more...lol...
