Then the crafting began.
I have been working on all kinds of projects this weekend and started getting a little decorating done.
While we were in Missouri, I stopped in at this one store. It is a huge freight recovery store-if you see something you want you better get it, because it may not be there the next day.
I saw a package of these clear numbered rubber stamps for $2.50. They normally run about $12.00 :
I just LOVE numbered and lettered things.
I pulled them out and made some numbered coasters.
Then I made THE LETTERED COASTERS
It is pretty cool.
I used it for
I scuffed it up because I wanted it to look aged.
I scuffed up the plate as well..
I will show the completion of these this week.
Then I made these glass vases.
I’ve seen them all over the place
–I got everything from The Dollar Store and glued together the vase piece and the candle obra with my Gorilla Glue. They are already being used for decorations and I will show you the rest of this project on Wed for the Celebrate the Holidays party.

LOVE them and I so can't wait to see them!! I love love love letters and numbers. I am working on a project that has a bunch of random numbers and my husband thought I was crazy and just doesn't get it, lol. I have to show him how cool yours looks! I love how vintage yours look, I could not figure out how to get mine like that! Can't wait to see it!
Hey, Miss Cheri! Thanks for stopping by – and you're already on my list of favorites. 🙂
Ha! I guess great minds think alike! You did the vase/candlestick too! Thanks for the invite, I am linking mine up. I think people are going to get sick of seeing these soon! Love the plate you did with the "P" ~ that's my last name initial.
Wow. What a great find with the stamps. And they look great on the coasters. I'm really liking what you are doing with the plates; can't wait to see the finish project. Jules
I can't wait to see your pink tree! My daughter has a pink tree too- they are so much fun, we can be just as girly as we want with them and the sky is the limit! 😀
Wow you were really working hard this weekend. I love, love the plates. I need directions, I guess I always thought the ink would come off after stamping? Have a great holiday!
I love the coasters and the vases!! What a great idea! Thanks for visiting my blog! I've been meaning to join one of your parties for a while now!
I love the everything you did but I especially like the plates. Did you have to use a special ink for the plates? Can you wash it?
I'm a big fan of anything lettered or numbered too, so of course I LOVE the lettered coasters! Great job!

O, me, too…I have gone NUTS over numbers and letters…and burlap with red stripes…
Every single bit of it…POTTERY BARN!!
Just wish I had just one tiny crafting bone in my entire old body..but…I don't..
Thanks for the offer on the shade…maybe after Christmas…I sure appreciate your help.

Thanks for visiting my blog–and following! I just posted the decoupage pic…I had already posted my Tide Box earlier at #7….and I'm following u 2! Have a great Thanksgiving!
Oh I love the coasters. Those are just way too cute! Thank you for becoming a follower! I am planning another giveaway tomorrow! So check Back! I use a Vinyl machine (cutter) for the letters. IT goes so much faster! IF you are interested in me printing and sending some to you, just let me know what you thinK….
Holy cow woman! Those plates, (and everything else) are SOOOO stinking cute, pretty and perfect! Way to go!
Thanks for stopping by my blog and for your comment…I love those! I am a huge fan and am giddy that you liked my project!!
Thanks again!
You've sure been a creative little busy bee Cheri! I am just now realizing you live in Naples. My folks own a condo there and we've been down several times. Such a beautiful place! They'll be wintering there again, so maybe I'll get myself down there and we can have coffee 🙂
Hi Cheri. Thanks for stopping by my blog and adding yourself as a follower. I've been sneaking on your blog for quite awhile now, so now I'm going to add myself as a follower. Oh, goodness-LOVE the plates. Rosie
Hi, Cheri: I love lettered and numbered things too. These coasters are great gifts.
I have a question about the tool you used to seal off your ribbon from fraying in the craft tutorial. Is that just a wood burning tool? After your tutorial I am now becoming a tassel queen and sealing off ribbon with a tiny strip of Elmer's takes way too long!
You can reply in my comments or e_bogardus AT hotmail
Thanks, and have a great Thanksgiving!
Super cute stamped coasters!
