An insulated storage shed that I can turn into a craft room
A wireless broadband router
A couple of gallons of paint and primer to tackle my living room walls
An embroidery machine

My little magnets that Amy made. There made from those little glass flat marble thingies, with scrapbook paper on the back, and a magnet, of course. They're proudly displayed on my fridge!
3. What handmade gift have you always wanted to tackle?
A quilt! I've always tried to start one but never finished...
4. What was the best Christmas gift you received as a child?
I was always excited to come up and visit my granny, papa, and my mom for Christmas. After my dad and us had our Christmas on Christmas day, my granny would come down and get us and we'd travel the four hours to visit for a week. It was the best gift and we looked forward to it each year.

Well, no kids here, but my niece, Kelsea, fills that gap! She definitely wants the Tinkerbell movie that came out last year. I wanna get somebody one of those cool marshmallow shooters!

What is not my favorite, lol! I love my mom's homemade peanut butter (hold the nuts) cookie dough! No need to cook it =) I also love my Aunt Linda and Gern's peanut butter cookies (cooked) and homemade peanut butter fudge!!!! YUMMY! Can you see a pattern here, lol?
7. What will you be hand-crafting for the holidays?
I have a couple projects I want to do. One involving a Mason jar. I also want to do a few wooden letter projects for Christmas presents. I also want to make a tiered cupcake/cookie tray out of stove top covers...
8. What is your favorite holiday movie?
I love all the movies that ABC Family and Hallmark run. One of my favorites is Santa Claus with Tim Allen. It's a cute one!

Shutters!
My coworker gave me these shutters and I LOVE them passionately ;) AND they were already painted! Robojunker also has some fantastic ideas for shutters.
It is a fabulous Trash to Treasure site!
Thank you soooo much, Eileen!
Window Project
I got this beautimous window from my papa's shed when I was down South last. I have had lots of inspiration for this project. Check out The Creative Crate and she has more than one spectastic idea =) Also my friend Amy over at Crafty ADHD has a window that turned out wonderfully. I got the paper from Summertime Designs, the Falling For Fall kit. She has the BEST kits and I love 'em all! Instead of Mod-Podging the paper on the back like others have, I just taped it strategically in case I ever want to switch up my decor. Another idea I might run with is hanging it from my kitchen ceiling, adding hooks around the frame, and using it as a pot holder thingiemajig!!! I think I seen that idea on Robojunker. 
My window stayed propped up by the television forever, lol!!! But here it is...where it is supposed to be, finally! I put an old wreath over it that I already had but I think it still looks strange. I'm thinking about maybe lowering the wreath. It might look off because the wreath's not centered...Maybe??

Mason Jar Creation
Look at all the FUN stuff I got!!! I got the candlesticks, Mason jars, and old milk jar from the thrift store and I picked up some of the paint, raffia, and E-6000 glue at ole WallieMart. 
This is my finished project =) I painted the candlestick, roughed it up a lil with sandpaper, glued it to the bottom, let it sit overnight, then added the finishing touches and...VOILA!
