Valentines Day Birthday Party.

Check out the awesome party I did for my 11 year old. Remember these invites.. check this link to see the party!

The stockings were hung..

This is my fireplace, the stocking I made a few years ago and the plaque I made last week. I feel like it needs "something" but no I idea what.

Its Halloween!

I know it seams like forever since there has been a post here. School started and PTA took over my life.. with the holidays fast approaching I hope that will change. Here is a little banner I made for Halloween.

Summer crafts

Our local Ben Franklin's offers a kids craft program each summer. This week my girls went and these adorable magnet/cork boards. Took about 45 min, easy and cute!!

Mothers Day Gift.

For my MIL's gift this year, I put together this portrait wall. She has 6 kids (hers, his and theirs), and they all have families of their own. I got tiered of seeing all the random 4x6's laying around that she gets so I thought this was something she would like. I mean after 81 years of birthdays, christmas', and 60 mothers days its hard to find something unique!

The saying at the top says "Family link to our past, bridge to our future" there is an 8x10 of each child with their families and a 5x7 for each grandchild and their families. Right now there are a lot of names showing, but hopefully in the coming months we can get these blank spots filled in!

I love this site!

I found Tip Junkie, through another site, and I love it.. its so crafty, its everything I want this site to be, but better. Go check it out!

Small makeover pt 2

As is the story of my life, my kids and husband have taken over "my" spaces. I noticed on Christmas day the place I had been calling my desk, had not been my desk for a VERY long time, and that needed to change. So, I moved my crap to the thing next to the fridge that I pile paper and junk on and was determined to make it my desk. Here it is!

Ohh and of course I needed to make something to go on my new desk. I saw this idea in a Close to My Heart idea book and had to make it. It was the final touch for my desk!

I love it when things work out!

Remember this gloating post? Well, after I checked at my local craft store and a 4 inch circle.. just a circle was $3.49!!!! Here is the finished product. It was a fun time for my daughter and I and really let her feel like she had control of her bathroom.
