Friday Friends!

Its Friday Friends! again! My how time flies. I went shopping yesterday and got nothing else done! But today, I am finishing my Gratitude Journal and working on my Pumpkin Patch album, both of which you will see soon.

Our first friend today is Craft Passion. She has some cote ideas and some really fun tutorials. I found two that intrigued me, so I'm including both of them today. They are zipper bags, and I do mean zipper bags and not zippered bags. The bags are actually made from zippers! They are so cool! If you would like to see how they are made, check them out on these two links: http://www.craftpassion.com/2011/08/zip-it-up-pencil-case-tutorial.html? http://www.craftpassion.com/2011/07/zip-itself-coin-purse-tutorial.html

Aren't they cute?

Our next friend is Cindy from Skip To My Lou. I know Halloween's over, but I just found these adorable witch shoes and just had to share them. You can make a note of them for next year. That's what I'm going to do! http://www.skiptomylou.org/2008/10/28/paper-witch-shoes/

Fill 'em up with treats and you're ready to go!

Carolyn, from Carolyn's Homework, has a fabulous advent calendar made with envelopes! It is good looking and useful, too. While you're there, check out her other projects. Her blog is fabulous, too.

Our final friend for today is Stacie at the Creative Create. She did a post on different ways to display your family photos that has some really great ideas. Here are two of them and you can check out the rest at http://thecreativecrate.blogspot.com/2011/10/photo-decorating-ideas_01.html

I think this one would be extra-good for a teen's room!

She also gives a bonus link to http://amandacarverdesigns.com/?p=1446 for this project!

I love, love, love this one!!! I may be looking for a couple of pallets soon....

So long for today, and remember....the true measure of our thanksgiving is not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them. Until next time,
