This Weather Makes Me Shutter!

Brrrrrr. It is cold outside for this Southern gal's bones!  The Cranky Queen is a little crankier when the temperature drops below 50 degrees or so!  Thought that I would share a quick and cute idea made from old shutter slats.  Tada! A STAR is born!  You only need 4 items....
SUPPLIES
1.  Old shutter slats (or new ones painted & scuffed to look old)
2.  Wood glue.  (I used Elmer's Wood Glue)
3.  Wire for hanging
4.  Burlap or ribbon for "a little added flare"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DIRECTIONS
1.  Arrange slats in a STAR formation.
2.  Adhere with wood glue.
3.  Let dry.
4.  Attach wire hanger & bow.
     A STAR IS BORN!
A quick introduction to my Royal Grand Dog, Sadie...Prince Logan gave this adorable little puppy to his royal girl friend, Princess Allie, for Christmas.  Cranky Queen keeps her all of the time & plays dress up!

Pekingese Sadie, Princess Allie, & Prince Logan

STAY CALM & MAKE A STAR!

  8. Now look how clever you are...these are stinking cute!! But that grand pup of yours - oh my....she's stinking ADORABLE!!! I do trust Prince Logan consulted with the Cranky Queen prior to gifting this little bundle of fur to his beloved??? ;o) (Seems like half the pets in our family have come about in a similar manner - sans the "prior consultation...." Happy Sunday! Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin

  9. Love the star and the dog! We finally got to stop by the Pickle Patch and saw your booth! The boy had a wrestling meet in Hoover so as we were rushing back home (the dogs were in the kitchen all day!) I whined until the driver gave in for a quick pit stop. I love the suitcase table in your booth- I may have a slight suitcase obsession- and really want my hubby to build me a base to elevate some of mine!

  10. Tiffany,
    your little star is so cute! Might have to give it a try! Oh my, the little Prince did good! What a sweet gift he gave his Princess! Sadie is adorable! He certainly is a good "gift giver"!
