An homage to my Hub’s fire loving ways came to mind. This is a precursor to tomorrow’s ornament and my favorite one! Artful camping involves knowing how to light a fire and manage it. I think it also means knowing when it’s too hot to have a fire but hey, if someone wants to […]
Inspiration from Trader Joe’s tin came to me. When this one started to happen, I knew I was going to love it. I found the stick on a dog walk and it was covered in exquisite moss, so I knew I needed a wide ornament to fully showcase nature’s gift. The long cake pan became […]
I came up with this two part ornament. After painting up the little canvas, I decided it needed a bit more bling so I attached the painted Pringles lid with a little gold wire and glues a bit of fancy cording scrap around the edge. I really like how the lights seem magnified behind the […]
Since I had stocking stuffers to give my guys, I needed stockings. Happy Camper Stockings! It’s been a long time since I had this much fun with construction paper! Hohoho! ©2017zenandtheartoflittlehousetravelling.com. All rights reserved.
Black and white came to me. This little canvas makes me think a black white and red themed tree might needs be crafted next year. Hohoho ©2017zenandtheartoflittlehousetravelling.com All rights reserved.

I ran over to a quaint shopping area nearby to pick up a little 1.50 bottlebrush tree for the blog project, some local dog treat confections and some of my all time favorite lipgloss (chocolate carmel drizzle from Bathworks out of Hot Springs Ark). If you ever come camping in the greater Saint Louis Area, […]
I’m working on these ornaments as I post them. That means that inspiration needs to come on an as needed and on time basis. What I find is that trusting that inspiration will come is part of the magic. It’s about allowing and putting the energy of success out there. It’s about keeping one’s eyes […]
Today’s ornament incorporates a Thanksgiving pie tin, some scrap Construction Paper, a mini flat canvas, a piece of an old Garland and a bit of vegetable garden twine. I cut the edge of the pie tin with shears (saving the wedge pieces for another day’s ornament. I then bent and shaped the edges to help […]
Today’s ornament incorporates the other camper ornament I was given last week. It started out red but had to change to Casita white! Then it had to become a big snow globe kind of ornament. I put her in a “brownie bites” acetate package from the grocery store and wrapped her edge in some of […]
