Busy week!

Sorry I haven't updated in a while! I have been busy with family stuff, and working on new projects. I have lots of new things in motion. I am working on some old barn window chalk boards, also some hanging horse shoe decoration, for either a wedding or a country home decorator. I am really excited to start taking pictures of everything and putting it up on here. So stay tuned, more to come soon.
Thanks,

Toy chest

This was my Aunt's cedar chest, that was handed down to us after she passed. So we decided to clean it up, because the inside was beautiful. Just the outside needed work, easy enough. After sanding and painting this is what we came up with.

Sister's wedding October 1st. 2011

My sister's wedding was amazing! By far the most emotional wedding I have ever been too. Also heard it from a lot of people. Tears of joy of course, they are so perfect for one another. I am so blessed to have them in my life, and my families life.

We did lots of crafty decorations, but of course I forgot to take any pictures. I was told photo's will be back this coming weekend, I will post them asap! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend.

I would like to give a shout out to mother nature, for letting my sister have a outdoor wedding too! :)
Thanx,

Late night!

Well today is my last night, to get things ready for the wedding weekend. I ended up making some really cute lanterns out of Mason Jars and some copper wire. We are using them for the bridesmaids to carry instead of the traditional flowers, every bride uses. I will have pictures up of the finished project after the wedding weekend. Since the wedding is in the STICKS, we won't have any computer service. So I won't be able to blog or update anything until we get back Sunday night or Monday morning, depending on how the kids do. We are making some signs for the lodge and for placement of her cupcakes also tomorrow night. I am so excited to see how everything turns out and to show you all. The kids and the rest of the family is very excited. So off to get some sleep before our crazy day begins tomorrow. Gotta love road trips with 2 small kids..:)
Thanks,

Something I made today!

First of all who doesn't want to be organized? Also who doesn't have a ton of those BIG serving spoons laying around, in a drawer taking up space. Maybe even potatoes, or fruit in a big bowl or basket on the counter. Why not change it up a little. I Always like to do something funky, and I thought why not add a little chalk board paint on it and label what is inside. FUN! So this is what I came up with today.
Thanks,

I also had a coat rack that used to say LOVE across the top...I just never felt right about it! So I changed it up a little. I used some tape, measuring tape, and paint tape. I marked off squares and spray painted on chalk board paint. Then I let it dry, for several hours. Then once it was perfect I took a piece of chalk, and covered each square completely. Wiped it off, and then I was able to designate each hook to each member of our family. Just another way I can keep my family organized! :)
Enjoy,
T
