Hello everyone and thanks so much for stopping by. I am soooo ready to decorate for Thanksgiving. Ready for a change Ÿ
Hello everyone and thanks so much for stopping by. I am soooo ready to decorate for Thanksgiving. Ready for a change Ÿ
First of all I wanted to share a plaque I made that I personalized with my and Terry's names. I found the graphic on the web and just printed it out on sticky back paper and laminated it and stuck it to a 6x6 inch tile I bought at Lowes.
I also decorated a glass block purchased from Lowes. It measures 8x8 inches. Terry drilled a hole in the back about a 1 inch diameter and I placed one of the corded lights bought at Hobby Lobby last year for ½ price. The printable I used was shared over at Blooming Homestead. Be sure and drop in over there and see the beautiful printables she is sharing. I just added some words to make it fill my block and be more personalized.
This is a picture of the block with the light turned on. I really like how it turned out. I will post a picture later on of all the Thanksgiving decorations in place.
Again, thank you so much for stopping by. Be sure and visit the link parties listed to the right side of my blog and see all the wonderful things others have to share. Soooo many great ideas Ÿ
Hugz, Diane

The plaque is beautiful, but I think my favorite is that glass block. What a great idea!
Morning Diane,
Oh my heavens, you come up with just the cutest ideas on a fraction........
I love that block with the words and the light. I have 2 my son made for me years ago with Christmas light in them and I put bows on them and they look like Christmas packages, so cute, but then the light went out and it is not easy to get the lights out
to replace them. So the idea of the one single bulb is genius. I really want to make one of these, really neat! The lil plaque is adorable too. Would look very nice adorning a table, can't wait to see where you put them both.
Hope you are doing well hon,
Blessings, Nellie
What a great idea! I'm ready for a change too. Jennifer

This is so smart! These would make excellent Christmas presents. I'd love for you to share with my readers if you have a moment. Thanks! http://www.momontimeout.com/2011/11/taking-timeout-thursday-link-party-no-3.html
Hi! Hopped over here from Passionately Artistic and I love this idea! Sometimes I feel like Thanksgiving is so overlooked when we hop straight to Christmas, and this is such a wonderful way to remind us the importance of this holiday. Thanks for sharing this project!

Both are very pretty! I've seen the glass blocks decorated with flowers & ribbon, but never with a printable before...it looks fantastic!
Just love it! Thank you so much for sharing at Taking A Timeout Thursday. Hope to see you again this week.

what a neat project........how did you attach the words.......I'm guessing it's all one sheet....maybe with decoupage glue...?
thanks
