Our FRG has a fundraiser coming up that I am really looking forward to. We’re calling it the Sweetheart Sale as we’ll be conducting it close to Valentine’s Day.
Part of the reason I’m so excited about it is becasue we are selling some really cute items that I had a hand in creating!
Have you heard of Scrabble Tile Pendants? They’re really popular on Etsy right now. I fell in love with them several months ago while on Etsy and was determined to figure out how to make them myself.
Around Christmas, I saw a lot of crafty things being done with Glass Marble Magnets. I’ve seen Kristen from We are THAT Family use them on several occasions. I went on Etsy to get supplies and figure out how to do these as well.
We will be selling both of these items as part of our Sweetheart Sale.
They are so super cute!!!
The designs on the pendants and magnets are both military and non-military. We even have pendants with each of the unit crests!
So, this week I have been tackling getting lots of these made. On Saturday two other spouses and I got together in our Battalion classroom and worked on a ton of them together. We were there for three hours, but it was a ton of fun crafting with these ladies!
Last night I worked on getting the actual magnets put on the back of the designed glass marbles. These magnets are tiny but they are so very strong!!
At the moment, I’ve done all that can be done until more supplies arrive from my favorite Etsy sellers, Those Sweet Sensations and The Crafty Dragonfly.
Stay tuned for tomorrow’s Works for Me Wednesday to see a tutorial on how to make these.

Love your scrabble tile pendants. I saw this idea around Christmas time and was anxious to give it a try. I have the materials, I should just tackle it! I’ve been inspired by your cute results.
Thanks for sharing your Tackle it Tuesday. I enjoyed checking out your site.
