Using Light Bulbs and Making Christmas Ornaments DIY

Using Light Bulbs and Making Christmas Ornaments DIY

Welcome to LilacsNDreams, and happy to have you dropping in! Christmas is almost here. During time up until Christmas we have done our decorations which includes using lights for everything. While using these lights, strands with the little bit bigger bulbs, sometimes go dead. They might all light up, and within a few days we find some dead bulbs lurking around. What to do....Hmmm.....

Now, there are other light bulbs that will go dead, or quit working too. Some of those bigger ones that we use for lamps, in our ceiling fans, and etc. Boy, that's a lot of dead bulbs we sometimes have to deal with, isn't it? Again, do we just throw them, or is there something else we can do with them?

I found someone who is sharing some cute ideas of what to do with some of these dead bulbs we get. Check out DesignRulz to see a few ideas that were shared with some instructions too. Sweet, cute, adorable, and who would have guessed, right? Have a look, and if you have done some make sure to share them also. Love to see the creativity from so many people. 

Thanks for sharing time at LilacsNDreams, and hope to see you again soon. Take care, and have a Happy Day!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Holidays

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Holidays

Wow! Where is the time going because it sure seems to be rolling right along now, don't it? All worried about Christmas, food, gifts, wrapping, cards, and then to be reminded right after that is the new year already! I think after the Christmas celebrations I will be ready to celebrate bringing in the New Year. What about you?

Besides trying to do all of this for Christmas I am also downloading pictures, editing pictures, and trying to get some listings done for my shops as well too. Got some vintage collectibles, upcycled repurposed, wedding home decor, and things are being added to my shop at Etsy, working on Ecrater, and also putting things into Ebay too. Time of year for everything. Working on getting inventory down, making room, so after first of year I can get organized again. Then, starting working on some new pieces again too. Making my lists of things to fill up with again, and you know. All of that fun business stuff.  Oh, and a reminder if you see something you like, are interested in, contact Me. I would be happy to invoice you myself with Paypal.

Anyway, I do hope everyone is moving right along with all their festive holiday preparations. Will you be celebrating Christmas day, or will you be celebrating from that day till New Years eve maybe too. I always worry about people having a place to go during these holidays, if they have someone to share it with, and most of all hoping no one is alone during these times. 

Depending when you are doing your get togethers there is still time to shop, get things mailed, and as some will also explain to those receiving....it's on it's way. Thanks for visiting LilacsNDreams, and hope to see you all again soon. Take care, and have a Happy Day everyone!

Coffee Pot People With DIY Projects Upcycled

It never ceases to amaze me the things that people do with everyday items from our homes, items found from thrift stores, pieces that have been thrown out to garbage, and etc. No wonder I don't get much done with all I can see on the internet, how I am amazed, and how I am in awe of so much of it . . . LOL:)

We often use our old coffee tea pots for maybe plants, and little things like that in our homes, or on our porches. As you can see there is more that we can do with them, and extra pieces that we find to help with these adorable lawn ornaments that have been made. I remember seeing this blog quite some time ago, and adored it then. Over time I had lost their blog address, but have found it again. I just had to share it with you all so that you could see some of the ideas shared with making Coffee Pot People. After visiting with them you might be able to get some wonderfully fun ideas for your crafting too. 

Coffee pots, teapots, pan lids, vases, toasters, chandelier lights, a little bit of this, a little bit of that, and you have an adorable conversational piece that others will adore. Over at this blog you will see this, and other crafty things that they share along with just everyday things too. People like you, and me who happen to have a creative side of things too.  

It is Monday, and I hope ya'll had a wonderful weekend. Did you do all you wanted? Did you get some thrifting done for certain projects, find some must have vintage pieces, or did you get some crafting done with maybe some painting, cleaning, and refurbishing too? Whatever you all did I hope you enjoyed, and was able to complete things you wanted to. I strayed away from my list of items to do, but I did get a few things done while I was able to. 

Thanks so much for visiting with LilacsNDreams, and as always I hope you enjoyed your visit. Take care, and see you all again soon. Toodles . . . . . .
