"A HEART THAT HOLDS A WELL FULL OF THANKFULNESS"

Happy, happy Monday!!!  Is it just me?  Or, was this weekend really as short as it seemed!  I guess time does fly...!

I have some exciting news!  Today, I am a guest designer on Gaby's blog.  The project that I am sharing with you today will be featured on her blog also, so you can hop back and forth, and double your pleasure--double your fun!  Hee-heee!!!

Gaby is a new family blogger here at Cute and Some and she has a great blog, so please go visit; tell her I sent you, and enjoy all her talent she's offering!!!  As I understand, Gaby will be presenting a different project from different designers every Monday, so we should expect to be in for some wonderful treats!

You know I have to have some kind of little catchy name for almost all my projects, so in honor of the Thanksgiving holiday I'm calling this one "A Well Full Of Thankfulness":

This little project was so easy and fun to put together.  If you'd like to make the well you will need;

• Craft paper measuring 3.50" x 12"
• 2- dowel rods measuring 6" tall
• Use an old CD to measure a circle on a sheet of  additional (matching) craft paper
• A tin biscuit or juice lid
• Styrofoam cut to fit the bottom of the tin lid

Directions:

1. Glue the styrofoam to the inside of the tin lid
2. Wrap and glue the 3.50" x 12" craft paper around the base of the tin lid (cut off access, if any).  This forms well base.
3. Push the towel rods into the styrofoam side-by-side with about 2" between them and glue them in place
4. Cut a slit from the base of the circle paper to the middle of the circle (example "A" below)
5. To form the dome/top, hold the circle at each slit gently overlapping one end over the other and pulling them in until all the entire circular edge is even; glue in place (example "B" below)
6. Glue dome to the top of the dowel rods
7. Decorate any way you please!!!

Examples for dome/top of well:

             Example A                                                                                               Example B

                                                                      

To finish my well, before decorating it, I added some leftover scraps from the craft paper to make the handle.

I hope you like it!!!

Thanks for stopping in!  I always love company and I love you all too!!!
