Vicki O'Dell… The Creative Goddess

I originally posted the bulk of this list a couple of weeks ago.  I thought I’d re-post it with a few newer crafts added in for your weekend crafting pleasure. :) There is still a bit more than a week until Mother’s Day. Plenty of time to give her something handmade.  If you don’t have a [...]

Usually I have Thursday off from my “day job” but this week I worked. I can’t let a Thursday pass without going to a thrift store, it’s become quite the habit I tell ya, so I stopped at one of my favs on the way home from work. A couple of weeks ago I had [...]

Are you getting the idea that when I start playing with a new product I craft with it until I run low on ideas? Problem is… there is never an end of ideas. Whatever it is I’m exploring will go away for a while but it almost always comes back. :)  And I can’t help myself… I love [...]

Dee da dee da dee dot dot (the sound of the news machines in an old televison news special announcement) (enter the voice of a very trustworthy news anchor) “This just in”… Vicki O’Dell, your favorite Creative Goddess is officially a Craft Designer for FaveCrafts!!

  One thing about it, when someone puts a stack of MDF memory frames (photo frames) on my desks and says, “See what you can come up with”, I’ll come keep going until I’m out of frames! Here are two chalkboard photo frames perfect for Mother’s Day gift giving… because I haven’t met a mother [...]

  I’ve been crafting quite a lot with these MDF Memory frames.  They are great because they are flat and have a lot of surface area that can be decorated in a variety of ways.  In fact, I’m going to be on TV on April 25th at 11:30 am on a local show called ”Golden Opportunities”. I wrote [...]

  I like the idea of giving some of these Soap Petals to my girlfriends for a little Mother’s Day treat and it would be fun to put them in the powder room if you work in a smallish office too.  They would also make a fun reception favor or be placed in the powder room [...]

LAST Sunday I took a whole bunch of pictures in my yard.  I spent a couple of hours or more just soaking up Spring and taking pictures.  I thought I’d share… I’m nice like that! :)  

  Have you seen this battery operated bead spinner yet?  It’s pretty darn cool. In fact, I like it enough that I gave one away for National Craft Month in March. It comes with all of this in the box.  It takes a little getting used to but once you get the hang of it [...]
