Snow balls and a find:

Hi blog friends,

Well it gloomy here in VA today and I have plans to bake some cookies, but wanted to stop in and share a few things.

I received an email from Geesha who asked if I’d share a pic of my snow balls, cause she read my comment on Carmen’s blog about using newspaper as the core form for them.

So here they are!

 

Yep, I could not justify purchasing Styrofoam to make them, as you all know~ Styrofoam is expensive, so I thought, What about newspaper!

It works great! Just ball it up to the size you want and cover with drywall compound. I did three thin layers of the compound, with a 12 hour drying in between each layer. So give it a try, you’ll love how prim they turnout.

While out yesterday, visiting my booths, I found the neatest thing.

An old Singer pinking shears cutter! It’s in perfect shape and works! I’d never seen one and had to have it!  The vendor even gave me 20% off~ gotta love a bargain.

Well, off to bake some yummies!

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

Oh, and thank you sweet ladies for all your comments~ they truly fill my heart with joy.

Blessings, Jean
