Holiday Gifts - The Kraft Journal

I can't believe that it's almost December.  Each year, I do a craft boutique at my church the first weekend in December.  Since this Saturday is actually December 1, they're holding the boutique this weekend - ready or not.  This little project is one that I made for the boutique.  I found this cute little jar with lid at my local thift store for $0.79 and I painted it in Martha Stewart's Robin's Egg Blue and put some vintage trim around the edge.  I hand stitched/embroidered the top and made it into a pin cushion, and added some seam binding to the side.  This jar is my Design Team project this week at The Kraft Journal, so I used a mini safety pin to hold a Tim Holtz Adage Ticket, and I also stuck some Jenni Bowlin Red Stick Pins in the pin cushion.  I'd like to invite you all to stop by The Kraft Journal and play along in this week's "Holiday Gifts" challenge.  You can also check out all the amazingly great deals at The Kraft Outlet.  They have all kinds of great kraft supplies, gift ideas and alterable gift items, as well as dozens of awesome and versatile embellishments.  I hope you will check out this awesome store and play along in this super fun challenge.

 

Here are the challenges I'm entering with this sweet little "Holiday Gift":

Thanks for visiting my little blog today.  I may not be posting a whole lot this week, or this weekend, because of the boutique.  I will, however, be taking my computer so that I can visit your blogs.  Happy crafting, and please be sure to play along with us this week at The Kraft Journal - Holiday Gifts Challenge.

Blessings,
