Sweet Jeanette is having a fun blog party and give-a-way of my e-books. 4 of you can win an e-book for free and you can pick the one you want if you are one of the 4 winners.

Now on to the CROWN TUTORIAL–I have had a “FEW” inquiries into how I made my crown.

So I will do a quick tutorial for you ladies.

I took some 16 gauge wire and make the design I wanted. Then I cut little strips of netting and wrapped the entire crown in netting. Next I grabbed the joint compound an began spreading it over the netting and smoothing it out. (sorry I forgot to take pictures of those 2 steps)

I let it dry for a couple of days. Then I wrapped it in strips of print from an old book.

You can’t see my fairy glitter but I added it to the crown, ket it dry and placed her on Miss G4s tree.

If you have any questions you know where to find me. If you make one let me know. Show it off and link back to me.

I got a sweet package in the mail from Sweet Jeanette

She just made my day, yeah the same one who is doing the blog party and give-a-way.

Then I got a sweet e-mail from Ramsey Revell–isn’t that the cutest name? I just think it is as cute as her. I had always planned on naming a little girl Crosby but then the “G” thing started and well-Crosby doesn’t start with a G so I never got to use it but I think Crosby and Ramsey would be such cute little sister names. Anyway Ramsey from The Closet Crafter sent me a sweet note that I had won her give-a-way and she sent me a downloadable file of Christmas gift tags made by her. I will be printing those off for the holidays.

4 Kim January 21, 2010 at 9:24 am: I have been hopping around the blogosphere and forgetting to check on your cute ideas. I just l-o-v-e this crown! It's likely that this idea will be getting used. Probably well before next Xmas. Thanks, Cheri.
