don't drink {cold medicine} and blog

i have come down with a stomach bug that has left me on the couch with aches, chills and a very short attention span. 
i started to give the blog a makeover with "festive" as the theme and somehow, somewhere went to a place that i don't really like. 
so... sorry for my {hopefully temporary} ugly blog until i can get back and track and choose a theme that says more "chrissy" and less... um, not "chrissy"? 

it's time for a nap.

she's crafty

look at what i made!
do you know what they are?
here's a hint....
two coasters and one BIG coaster.
{i am told it is called a trivet, not bigasscoaster.}
you will need:
mod podge
tiles
{we got ours in the clearance section at 'the home depot'.  one million tiles for about five dollars.}
sharp craft knife
fancy paper
paint brushes or spongy things pictured above
spray sealant
also recommended are the little stick on rubber things for the bottom so they don't scratch your table.

cover one side of your tile with the mod podge.  we discovered by trial and error that it is a case of 'the more, the better'.  place your pre-cut paper on the sticky modge and then do another layer of modge over.  then you wait for it to dry and have jenn's amazing boyfriend spray them with the sealant for you. stick those rubber feet thing on the bottom aaaannnnddd... done.

we got to spend the afternoon with jenn's boyfriend's tween nieces who actually enjoyed crafting along with us.  they got really creative and did cut out shapes and layered different patterns.  age appropriateness is a good thing.
super fun, super easy.
happy crafting!
