Thanks for all the sweet comments about Nicole's squirrels. My sister has one of the biggest hearts I know. Gracie the squirrel is something else, you would have to see her to understand. She responds to Nicole's voice, climbs on her shoulder as she works, and even hangs upside down on trees trying to get her attention when she's distracted talking to visitors in her driveway. It's unbelievable how aware that squirrel is. I see a joy brought to my sister watching her feed and care for the baby squirrel Izzie, it is so sweet to see.
We had a really busy week! We were so busy creating for boutiques and craft groups that we didn't snap many pictures. Nicole made so many cute things, I'll have to get her to make some more so we can picture them.
I "assisted" her on a couple of pennant banners. I'm not so good at mass producing. Nicole has been running her business for a couple of years now and is highly efficient. I'm as slow as molasses! :)
We made each pennant with wood. Nicole chopped thin mdf and drilled holes for the ribbon.
I picked up this very cute pack of papers from Michaels to paper our pennants. I think I completely adore each paper in this pack. Hmmmm, what else can I use this on?
We made some candy corn pennants. I have seen several of these around blog land and they are too cute. The triangle shape is just crying out to be made into a candy corn.
We glued on some of the stringy spider web yarn. We love using this stuff on all of our Halloween projects! I first saw this on a craft project my friend Angela did for our craft group and knew as soon as I saw this on the blog Urban Comfort in one of Suzonne Sterling's Halloween creations that it was a must have for our banner! :)
How cute is the yarn with the spider paper?
We'll be back to share some more tomorrow!

Natasha.

I'm usually not into banners, but this one is really, really cute. Love the idea of using a more durable material. Fabulous!
I think those two squirrels are pretty darn lucky to have your sis around. Animals can sense a good heart, I think! ;)
Those pennants are super cute! I was thinking of making something like this to hang over my mirror, but hubs always complains when I hang stuff there! (maybe I'll still sneak it...)
Love it Candace, and the white pumpkins with ribbon! You cease to amaze me, I wish it was my birthday everyday so I could beg for more and not feel too guilty. lol! You are the best! Still lovin' my sun flowers!
Soo in love with these! I'm making plans right now to copy you! thanks for the fab idea!

What a great idea to make them using thin MDF! I have one that I made last year w/ scrapbook paper but it's not going to last very long. Now I'm dying to know about this squirrel so I need to read on!
Your ideas are phenomenal! I love the birdhouses, the wreath and the pots! Thank you for the ideas. I can hardly wait for Christmas! Hurry Christmas ideas!
could you give me some dimentions on how you cut the pennants? or where to buy some????
how thick is the mdf? Very cute!! :)
