New Store is open!!!

I have been making a lot of projects with old barn wood lately!  I have received lots of great feedback so I have decided to open a store on my Facebook page!  You can find it here!  I will add new products everyday!  I am also adding them to my Etsy page.

I have made several Valentine’s Day charms that I want to share with you!!!  I also made graphics that you can save and email to your husband if you want a custom photo charm for Valentine’s Day!!  Check them out!  If you place an order for a custom photo charm in the next day or 2 then you can have it by the 14th!

Little Old Door

Check out this amazing little old door!  I got it from my secret source who takes down old barns!!  He is my jackpot!!!   I knew exactly what I wanted to do with this when I found it! 

Using my Silhouette, I made this stencil:

Next I laid out the stencil where I wanted it.  I put tape on the rest of the wood so when I spray painted it the rest of the wood was covered.

Then I spray painted!  Sorry for the terrible pictures!  My Nikon was in the shop so I had to use my phone camera!

Remove the stencil and here you go! 

I love it!  I have 3 extra doors so if you are interested in getting one, email me your established year!  I am selling them for $30!  janelle@sodderbug.com

Bartering for Christmas

I am going to attempt to log all my Christmas bartering!  I think I will be impressed when I finish this post at how much $$$ I saved us this Christmas!  I will definitely email my husband a copy of this post so he sees how much I saved us as well!    A custom Sodderbug charm sells for $30 so keep that in mind.  Here is a sample of what Sodderbug is all about.  I make these custom photo charms.

Running ornaments for Off'n Running, our local running store.  When it comes times for a new pair of running shoes they will be free!!  $130

4 Charms for Stephanie over at Fontastic Expressions.  She is going to make me $120 worth of vinyl cutouts!  She makes so many amazing things that I have not made my mind up yet!  I think I am going to get bible verses to put up all over my house!

I am sure there is more that I am forgetting about.  So far the total I can remember is… $890!  WOW!
