Hello and welcome! Whether you are here to learn about crafting trends, craft show tips, or simply want to see what projects I am currently working on, I hope you find something that inspires you and encourages you to create! After all, there is no greater joy in life than creating something!
Be sure to visit my blog! I will be adding new posts often. Crafting with Kathleen is associated with Carrot Patch Crafts. ENJOY!
Check out my blog post titled: Dollar Tree Halloween Craft Supplies and see an arrangement I made using several items purchased from the dollar store! You don't always have to spend a lot to create something beautiful.
Out with the Old - In with theNew!
I love to find items that are deeply discounted, repurpose them and give them new life! Hobby Lobby is a great example of a store that deeply discounts unsold items. You can almost always find something that you can strip down and make-over! Be sure to visit the "Repurposed" page to see how I turned this spring tulip twig swag into a fun Halloween creation!
Original Discounted Item
Fabulous Finds!
When it comes to crafting, I love to shop for supplies and items that are unique, fun, whimsical and affordable. Every week or so I will introduce you to a new item that I think is worth sharing. Each time I highlight a new item, I will archive the old one so it can be easily referenced. Hopefully, some of my "Fabulous Finds" will inspire you to create!
#1 - Small Ceramic Pumpkins
Fall is in the air (at least it is for crafters preparing for fall and winter shows), therefore, I decided to share with you these fabulous ceramic pumpkins I found at the Dollar Tree! I create a lot of floral designs and these pumpkins are the perfect container for fall flowers. The pumpkins are available in two colors: orange and white. I purchased several as I have a feeling they are going to go fast. Click HERE to see the pumpkins for yourself. If you are interested in these pumpkins, I suggest buying them in-store rather than online. They received wonderful reviews, however, it was noted that many of them broke during shipping. Anyway, below is one of the arrangements I made using one of the pumpkins I purchased. Check back soon for more "Fabulous Finds!"
