Girls Craft Night Saga

I have been having more and more girls night/craft night, but it's never enough!

This past Saturday, I had an awesome girls crafting night! I am trying to get as many of my friends as possible to do crafting with me cause I LOOOOVE it! 
Seriously - it was awesome to not have to worry about my kids (they were with Grandma and Grandpa) and have some wine and just craft! 
Also, I love when my living room looks like this...

Here are some of the awesome crafty things that went down...

Mel made an awesome collage, using something I found and have no idea what it's for...
So it got re-purposed as a pretty tray!

Angela did a bunch of stuff with pictures of her son and some of his artwork. 
Kids have way too much artwork, so kudos to her for framing it!

Amy painted a really cute monkey for her son!

Lindsay re-purposed a metal tray into a makeup holder by adding fabric to the tray, and magnets to her makeup. 

My sister, Vanessa, made a really awesome crayon art
She glued a bunch of crayons to a 2x4...
And then used the hairdryer to make them melt onto the canvas, while Mel held the cardboard over the silhouette that Vanessa painted on the canvas.

And finally, I also mangaged to make a few things.. in between cooking all the delicious appetizers we had for dinner...
 I made this shadow box for Mel. It contains a rose and peacock feather from my bouquet as her M.O.H, as well as a few buttons. I used scrapbook paper to cover the front of it. 
Then, I made a notebook for Jay out of old disquettes. 
(I used sticker letters to write his name on the front.)

This concludes an addition of Girls Craft Night. 
Stay tuned.. there will be many many more!
