Wooden Spool Memo Pins

 I have had this jar of wooden thread spools for several years so when I saw this idea on Pinterest,  I jumped right in and made a few.
They were very simple and quick to make.  I used the Tim Holtz Memo Pins, Prima Buttons, some Ribbon and a selection of "bling".


 I am keeping this one for myself as it's my favourite.  I love the original vintage label on top of the spool and, although it's hard to see, the wooden spool actually has a logo imprinted into the wood.
 Love the tall wooden spools.

Time To CRE8

Another New Year has begun and I have no idea where the last one went.  Time flies by so quickly that I'm afraid I'm never going to get all my creative ideas out of my head and completed.
To start the year off, I made these cute little calendars with chipboard, paper, ink, ribbon, Graphic 45 clothespins and the calendar template so kindly given to me by Paula & Deb.  Check out their blog  "One Lucky Day"for the cute little calendars and the template.


Here is a close-up...
Happy New Year to all my faithful followers.  I'm looking forward to another year of creating!
