It isn't easy toodling around Pinterest...

but, someones gotta do it!

And that I did.

Here's a peek of what I made

BUT...here is my project inspiration.

{LOVE.at.first.sight}

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you,

for the inspiration!

You can view the tutorial here:

Learning to be me

There are so many other super fun projects

on her blog.

What a great time of the year for

spiritual inspiration.

I made 4 sets of these. They are all

just a little bit different from

one another too!

Here they are:

This set is green, tan and light blue.

I sanded and distressed them with 

walnut Distress Ink. 

Jesus is glued to Mary

and they are all tied together

with a bow.

This set is a little taller. Joe measures

8" and Mary 6" tall.

This set is white and light brown.

They are sanded and distressed

with Distress Ink.

Baby Jesus is tied to Mary.

They are all tied together

near the bottom.

This set is white and light blue.

They are sanded and distressed

with Distressing Ink.

Baby Jesus is tied to Mary

held securely by a little bow.

They are all tied together by

a knotted triple string at the bottom.

This set is light brown, blue and white.

They were sanded and distressed

with Distress Ink.

Baby Jesus is tied to Mary.

They are all brought together

by a knotted double string near the bottom.

 What do you think?

These 4 sets will be headed to

Marketplace in hopes

 of finding a new home for the holidays.
