I found a small and undecorated wooden box in the craft drawers this
morning. Turning it over in my hands, I
knew exactly what I wanted to do with it.
On my list of crafty favourites, there in bold letters stands decoupage.
I love how one can take something terribly ugly such as a wooden box
and turn it into something incredibly beautiful. All you need is a little paint, some old gift
wrap or scrapbook paper and podge. Did I
mention that podge is on my list of ‘must haves’ in the craft room? And good decoupage varnish just adds such a
lovely finish to any decoupaged item.
Next week Monday (the 14th) my thirteen year old sister becomes a fourteen year
old. And although I am not exactly a
person who procrastinates, I do sometimes hit a blank and can't get into a crafty spirit of any sorts and leave making a gift to just days or hours before
the occasion. So although I probably had
hundreds of things I should have done today, I spent a free hour or so
painting, cutting and podging. I felt
like a small child; shut up in my mom’s workroom, crafting away in peace and
quiet. I even somehow managed to get
podge in my hair and some over the floor. Please don’t ask questions:-)
I’m sure Nancy guessed what I was up to – any person with a birthday so
near at hand becomes a little suspicious...
Hopefully she’ll like her gift and use it for
whatever purpose she deems fit.
What do you do
as a hobby?
Blessings,

Ha ha, sound like me! My sister just had her birthday not too long ago and I made her birthday card the night before along with a Happy Birthday poster, and wrote out the words for her card. My hobbies?? Probably painting, cooking and playing my piano.
ReplyDeleteSapphire P.S. Great Job on the box!!!!
You have lovely hobbies, Sapphire! I used to play piano, now I play cello. And cooking and painting are wonderful hobbies to have! Thank you so much for commenting:-) Blessings, Kelly-Anne Xxx
