Last night I felt FANTASTIC! And I think it might have something to do with this bad boy. It's done! Yay. Am I really saying that? It's completely done. All the pieces have been sitting on my craft table for a month now. I just couldn't bring myself to figure it out. And then I realized, it was the stinkin' WHITE lazy susan that was driving me CRAZY. So I spray painted it BLACK and got to work. I am in love with this thingy-ma-bob. In fact, I could stare at it all day along. Now, I can take no credit for this (except for my HARD work)...it's my grandmother's. She's the creative one. Ever since I saw hers, I knew that I wanted to make one for my children. And speaking of the littles...they L.O.V.E this. It's become the new "Christmas I spy".
I think the Nativity is my favorite part...well...that and the polka dot ribbon!!!
And to top it off, an angel along with a little baby Jesus.I'm hoping that this will be a Christmas decoration that will be thoroughly enjoyed throughout the years!
**Now if you are interested in doing something like this, I would suggest shopping for your ornaments after Christmas as they are all marked down. I purchased mine last year when they were marked down 75-90% off. I also found the blocks in the dollar bins at Target. But you can also find cheap blocks at Ross/Marshalls. I found it was helpful to have multiple different sizes. Also, take advantage of the SWEET coupons you can receive via email from Hobby Lobby, Michaels, and JoAnns. Now I am no pro, but if you have any questions, ask.

That looks awesome!!! I love it! You have inspired me, although I'm sure mine won't look as fantastic as yours!!!
Good job!!!
Ahhh, that is so cool! I hope you do have it throughout the years, so I can look at it when I need to figure it out.

That is so cool Steph. (this is halie's sister by the way. Don't worry, i blog stalk you too) :) Your family is so cute and so creative. I love all the crafts you do and wish i had time to do them too! And yes, my cousins do go to olathe south. I heard there is a little rivalry between south and east. (maybe?) anyway, feel free to blog stalk me anytime. I love seeing your fun family pictures. And it helps to know who halie and kendall are talking about when they say "ev and steph". :)
Wow! That turned out awesome! And we have the exact same nativity on ours! very cool.
That looks awesome! I DO want to make one. Might take a while though. So is everything just glued together?? How oh how did you piece it all together like that while glueing???
So cute ... you are just so crafty! I think if I tried to put something like this together i'd get too frustrated and never end up finishing!
It's amazing! You are so crafty! I'm going to think about maybe doing one as well! It's so cute.
