I made a frame for my room. It was super easy. Tear, crinkle different scrapbook paper, then Modge Podge it to the frame, add some distressing ink, and for the final touch a piece of ribbon and a flower I embellished. A few ladies made these for all the holidays, why didn't I think of that?
And a cookie sheet advent calendar. Each of these were different. I made two and once I got home I added glitter to the '25', cause I am like that.

The finished product!
I am also working on a new wreath for Christmas! I will post pictures as soon as it is done. Thankfully, my friend Verlinda is making it for me! She is the best! Can I take Halloween down, skip Thanksgiving and jut Put my tree up already? Please???

Very cute. I feel the same way. The Christmas stuff is already at all the stores. We should just skip Thanksgiving.
So cute Caryn! It makes me want to be crafty and make a cute frame like yours!
I love the cookie sheet advent calendar! What a cute idea!
Your two projects are so cute. I was dying at your last post. You crack me up. I had to go and double check my blog to see if I had the word verification. You will be very happy to know that I don't have it. :)
Both are so adorable! Way to be crafty!
Super, unbelievably cute! I want one (the cookie sheet calendar)! And here I thought I was a crafty person...next to you, not so much!
The Cookie Sheet calendar is so cute. I might just have to steal your idea. If I get ambitious enough....
I think of you everytime I see word verification on someone's blog. It makes me laugh:) Sorry.
So cute! I am going to call you so you can tell me how to make the advent calendar.
Super cute things. I love crafting with other people - you were smart to only do two. I always try to do too many projects then don't enjoy any of them.
Caryn that was so fun! Thanks for all your help! We've gotta hit up Costa! I'll put my frame on my blog after I add the flower! Love ya!
I am so jealous. Our ward isn't doing a craft day this year and I missed it last year since I was giving birth. I feel jipped. I love your crafts.
You'll have to help me make those! (Or do it for me, let's face it I don't do crafty!) Love them!
Love the advent calendar! That's an awesome idea.
Sorry, that last comment that was deleted was from me -- it duplicated my previous comment somehow.
You are so talented. The frame is really cute.
WAY CUTE!!!! I wish I had half of your talent and craftyness!! You are awesome Caryn!
Those are SO cute!! I may have to steal those ideas.
Your advent calendar is sooo cute! Makes me wish I had kids at home still. No, shut my mouth and tape it!!!
So skip Thanksgiving so we don't have to remember what we're thankful for? Just so you know, you can put a tree up now. I have one of mine up with fall and thanksgiving decor on it and it looks great and everyone loves it and everyone that comes over (which is like a hundred people a day! or so it feels like) comments on how much they love it. It adds a lot to the home. Besides, Thanksgiving is a holiday for a reason and I'm sick of stores COMMERCIALIZING AND OVER-PROMOTING CHRISTMAS AND SKIPPING A VERY SPIRITUAL AND UPLIFTING HOLIDAY! Not that Christmas isn't spiritual, but the world tries to take religion out of it and at least Thanksgiving, well, it's important too. Thanks for letting me get that off my chest.
way cute crafts...makes me wish I didn't hate doing that stuff
