Too early to talk Christmas? It is only 7 weeks away! Eek! I have one gift bought. I know we still have Thanksgiving, but if I wait until after than to share my ideas you will all be scrambling. So paint dipped everything is completely the trend right now. I mean EVERYTHING. I thought I would try my hand at some paint dipped Christmas ornaments. I was at JoAnn's and I saw these ornaments and they were like half off and I had coupons so I snatched them up along with some Martha Stewart ...

DIY Rope Vase or Utensil Crock
Once upon a time we went to a movie and bought a soda in an embarrassing large cup.

DIY Magnets
I bought a package of those clear marble rocks when they were on sale at Michael's for $1 a while back now. All along I intended on making magnets, it just took me until now to get around to it.

They would make a great Mother's day gift. You could even use photos to personalize them. I used a sheet of ...
