Crafts & Champagne: Reverse-Reverse!

Please pardon that this post is from a crafting party I held almost a month ago and was too busy (*cough* lazy *cough*) to write about.  As you know, Crafts & Champagne is one of my favorite things to do with my girlfriends (and, apparently, my husband's boy friend now wants to be invited; he'll fit right in).  We decided to do it right before Halloween but then faced the conundrum of which holiday we should center our crafts around: Halloween (almost over!), Thanksgiving (a little ways out) or Christmas (far away, but so many fun things to do).

That's when Pinterest rescued us.  I had found and pinned several crafts that were reversible to cover several seasons, and we opted to get the best of both worlds.

Popsicle sticks are cheap, easy, and fun, so I grabbed some of those for a reversible scarecrow/snowman.

Turns out, wooden blocks are expensive as sin (considering they are actually scraps), but I found a decent replacement at Joann for the words.

Hobby Lobby had all their Xmas stuff on sale for 40% off, and I found 2-packs of blank ceramic ornaments for only a few dollars, and that rounded off our supplies.  (Of course, Mom was kind enough to donate her wood paints, and Lauren definitely came through with the extra glue gun).

All in all, we did pretty darn well, although you'll notice that the wooden banner is the best because Sarah did it (*cough* over-achiever *cough*).

Have any other ideas for multi-season/multi-holiday crafts?

We would LOVE to hear about them!
