CHRISTMAS BLING FOR YOUR HOUSE PLANTS..........


I have posted before about not really being a crafter...but it seems as though I save every little thing just in case I might have a use for the item.

Here is a really cute and inexpensive gift you can make for those gardners in your life.

Bling Sticks for Plants


I used the Chinese chop sticks that come with Chinese take-out.....broke them in two pieces.  Then used some of the flat ornaments I bought last year on sale at Hobby Lobby....you know the ones that are two for a dollar.  If you need more bling just glue on some glitter.


Use your glue gun to attach the ornament to the stick...and you are finished.  How easy is that.

Inexpensive and simple....you could even bundle a few of them together using a variety of ornaments...and tie it all up with a bow.


A simple, inexpensive gift for anyone who loves houseplants and wants to give them that little special Christmas touch.

Hugs....from my home to yours,

Jo

    Terrific idea! I'm not a crafter either but I think I could manage this one.

    Great idea! We always have chopsticks and they used to get tossed, but my oldest son actually loves eating with them and is really good at using them. Hope you are having a great week. Tammy

    What a lovely idea Jo.

    I would never think of doing this
    but might give these sticks a go.


    Thanks

    Plants??? Sorry, I couldn't resist. I don't have any plants. Didn't have any when I had a house either. I find it so strange sometimes that I just don't have that beauty gene in me. Or that creative instinct. Your ideas and your home are so beautiful and like I said before, if Jim didn't do some decorating, nothing would be done by me. It's just not there. But I do so love to read your posts and I enjoy your pictures. They brighten my day.

    Too Cute! I have to chuckle as I do the same things with little pretties I pick up here and there and stick them in my plants.

    I love your holiday spirit with these though and I just may have to do it too! :)

    Thanks for a great share!
    Love and Blessings...

    Usually when I hear the word Glue Gun...I start to hyperventilate. I . am. not. a crafter.
    But, this I might be able to handle. Really great idea.

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY......I'M GOING TO HAVE A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY MONTH!!!

I turn 67 today.....and actually I feel better as the years accumulate.  Since I've gotten older I actually have decided that I will celebrate each day during the month of October...just being grateful for being healthy and alive.   I hope each one of you who follow this little blog of mine celebrate each day along with me.... Here are some of the things I have planned for my birthday month: 1.  Listing our current home the end of the first week in November.  We are pretty excited to be moving into a little smaller spot as it means less work and maintenance.  We just want to be able to live more and work less.  Although we still have not found our new spot.....we know it is out there.   2.  Taking a 15 day cruise on the Rhine from Amsterdam to Budapest.  We will visit 5 countries along the way.  One of the stops will be in the place I was born....Nuremberg, Germany.  My  family  left Germany right after the war...when I was quite young.  Memories are almos

PUTTING ON MY GYPSY SHOES......................

Bo Bunny Paper Collection Well.......the coach is packed...the laundry done in the condo....and we will be on our way tomorrow. I often do feel like a gypsy moving from one spot to another....and each year my gratitude grows as I am able to continue this lifestyle. I truly would love to "do up" my coach in Gypsy Style...but alas....not too practical as things probably would be flying all over as we traveled down the road.  (O: But.....a girl can dream.....can't she? ~~~ My suitcase is packed with memories To be opened further down the road When my caravan must be halted The bag waits to be opened Stories to be told and shared Like the gypsy's of so long ago But for now....the wheels keep turning And my case grows larger still Waiting for the day..I must be stopped   And my heart, to the brim, will be filled Hugs from me to you, Jo Gypsy photos:  Electric Gipsyland on Flickr

HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND A MERRY CHRISTMAS

This is a picture of our little tree this year.  Each year our trees seem to be smaller, a function of our getting older and just wanting to deal with less stuff.  I'm sure a few of you feel them same.  Although it does seem to be a little weird that we want to deal with fewer Christmas decorations and give each other MORE STUFF in the way of presents under the tree.   Ahhh...being human is such a quandary sometimes!                                          MERRY CHRISTMAS                                                          Jo
