An Early Start on Christmas

Three things I enjoy doing on Saturdays:

1.) Cleaning.

2.) Shopping.

3.) Doing something Crafty.

I didn't really have plans today so I did all of the above. I cleaned a little, did a little Christmas shopping and then made a stop at Hobby Lobby--a dangerous place during the holidays; there are so many cute things there! This is the project I did today:

As you can probably tell, I'm a little obsessed with Modge Podge. But really, if you buy a huge thing of it...it's a great investment and you will be able to do a wide variety of cute projects.

For this project, I found the plain wood tray (medium size) at Hobby Lobby in the wood craft section for 40% off (ONLY $2.39!) Then I picked out four sheets of Christmas scrapbook paper.. Making the total project about $5.00 :) Obviously you don't have to do Christmas papers, you could do any!

I know, the mints right? Well, contrary to my past blog post about holding off until Christmas...I found these york mints at the store and had to purchase them. Seriously, who can pass up the bright red and green shiny packages? They have Christmas wreaths on them!

Back to the project, I decided to put the candies on the tray to give you the whole image. I will have this one sitting on my bar but I think the cutest thing would be to put it on a coffee table in the living room... I don't have one of those, haha, but I thought it would be cute. ESPECIALLY if you put a plate of cookies and milk on the tray for Santa on Christmas Eve! ...Just a couple of ideas. I'm sure my next one will look better now that I have the process down for this modge podge project!
