Around the World Puzzles
I have 2 sets of Around the World Jigsaws and 1 of Natural Wonders of the World, with 7 in each set! I know Puzzles aren't really a creation, but I wanted to share them anyway!
500 Pieces: Venice
500 Pieces: New York City
I haven't completed any of the other ones, but when I do I will share them!
Candles
I would love to try making more candles, but the ones I have currently done I bought from PaintGem!! I did get wax, dyes and silicone molds from Amazon to help make them more unique!! Plus fun glasses from the Dollar Store!
Original to left or above on mobile. Realized after fact that I should not have done the plastic beads and found a rose silicone mold.
These all were so much fun to create and I definitely want to make more candles!! I have so many molds saved in a list on Amazon!!
I don't know if you've seen videos of people creating beautiful pieces with water beads and it looks like items are floating in the vase, but I have and I thought it would be fun to try. Little did I know it wasn't going to work out well. I struggled a lot and then some bugs ended up being in the water that I dismantled this piece, but it was still interesting to try. Next time I would probably do more research and a taller vase.
This only sort of counts as candle, but wasn't sure where else to put it. I had leftover flowers from another piece and plenty of floating candles. I thought that they would look great together in a short bowl and in my opinion they do.

Puzzles
Everyone in my family knows how much I love puzzles, so I get gifted them frequently! I also buy a ton of them myself! I recently created a list of all of them, I have 41, not including the ones that are framed! I created the list because I wanted to be able to share them with friends and family!
Had to go find this picture on Facebook! I think this was a Christmas Gift from my brother and sister-in-law!
I have more done and framed, these ones I created with the help of Shutterfly! I have to find them though!
I have 47 total puzzles now! When I have the space, I will show you!
Shutterfly
If you haven't noticed already I love using Shutterfly to create items!
I wanted to have something unique that I could send puzzles in with family and friends! I used Microsoft Word to make the design and then uploaded it to Shutterfly!
This is my most recent creation! I wanted to have something unique that I could send books in with family and friends! I tweaked the Puzzle Library design, so that it could be simple and similar!
I wanted to share this one with you, so that you can see that they have multiple designs! I wanted something simple and pretty to be able to bring work home with me!
They have lots of fun items that you can personalize! This might be one of my favorites because I love this Waterfall and the vacation was so much fun! If you want to see more Waterfalls, check out my YouTube Channel!
You can even skip putting any words on it, if you don't want to!
Tie Blankets
I have several of these and have made them for family members as well! When I discovered you could do it on pillows, I decided I needed some to match my MN Wild Blankets!
Went to find this picture on Facebook!
I'm a little surprised I found this! I made it a long time ago and it used to be the dog's bed, next to mine!
Other Stuff
Flower Box
My Grandpa made this box! The flower was etched into the top, but I wanted to make it stand out more, so I painted the etched part black! Then added the other colors to make it pop even more!
String Art
Had to go find this picture on Facebook! I don't remember if I was gifted this, found it somewhere in the house or if I bought it! It was fun to try though! I think I did one other one, but I don't know if I kept these or if I threw them out once I was done having pink in my bedroom! I hope I kept the book because I would really like to make something like this with a wooden base!
I'm glad I found this!
I still have them!
