Mine Crafting Again....

Hello and Happy Saturday Everyone! It's cold & rainy

today so I thought I would try to get some house work done

and maybe make a few cards... :o) I'm thinking just

the cards.... but my house thinks otherwise! HA

 

I thought I would share another Mine Craft

it for her son, so I made this.....

 

 

She thought it was PERFECT! Even my boys thought

it came out pretty cool.... YAY for me! HA!

Winner.... Winner.... Chicken Dinner!

Hello and Happy Wednesday Everyone! I was busy at work today

so I didn't have time to post the winner this morning 

of my Birthday Giveaway! But now....

 

 

I went to Random.org and the number was #8 which was:

 

TANYA/NONNA

 

YAY! Congrats Tanya!!! Send me an e-mail with

your address so I can get this sent off to you!!!

THANKS so much for your Birthday Wishes...

 

I had an interesting Birthday....

 

The same weekend of my Birthday we had

to move one of my boys to Arizona....

Soooo.... I ended up cooking my Birthday dinner...

Which I did ahead of time.... thinking they'll

put it in the oven and all would be good.... RIGHT?

 

 NOPE! My kids were loading up our

trailer with my sons things... after I cooked

my dinner.... They had to go back out and pack

up the trailer some more since we were leaving

at 5am the next morning.... And I needed to be back

that same day because I still have a 10yr. old at

home who wanted to have Easter! :o)

 

It was one of those weekends you just chalk up

to... Oh Well... Maybe next year type of things! HA!

 

Anyway.... Have a great evening....

I've got some pictures to take of some of

my projects and I should have something

posted by tomorrow....

 

Congrats again Tanya! :o)

"Hippo" Easter.....

Hello and Happy Thursday Everyone! I know... I Know...

Where the heck have I been??? Don't know.... Working, and

Cleaning, and getting organized... My middle son is moving next week

so I've been re-organizing my house again.... Every time a boy leaves

I end up doing this... But this time... I'm doing a lot more because my

older son will be leaving shortly too and I'll just have 1 boy at home...

Which will be very weird and QUIET! To say the least! :o)

 

So.. I thought I would "pop" in and say HI!!! And share an

Easter card I made awhile back... With Easter next week

I thought the least I could do was share 1 more project with ya!

 

 

Ok... I don't know where I put the list of how I made this card

but I think I can wing it to some degree... LOL

Home Decor Project!

Hello Everyone! Sorry I've been MIA again... Work has been busy

and I've been working on some Home Décor Projects.... I did

finish my MIL's Cards and mailed them to her... She hasn't called

yet so I'm not sure if she liked them???? But once I had finally finished

those card... I really wanted to focus on something else... You saw my last

post with my Wood Décor Project.... I made some cute wooden Easter eggs

and something else which I'm gonna show you now.... I'm so excited

with how it turned out... Let's hope you like it too! :o)

 

 

Doesn't this look AWESOME!!! :o)

 

I'm so excited with how it turned out!

I made a simple Tutorial to show how it was

made... just in case someone might want to make one!

 

First.... You'll need a 12" Styrofoam or bigger or smaller

Depending on what size you really want... Mine is 12"

 

Then you'll need some pins... I have 200 of them....

 

Then you'll need some Burlap cut into squares....

Mine were cut at 4 1/2 x 4 1/2

 

I purchased a bag of Dowels for future use.... I only needed

1 and I trimmed it down some....

 

I started off by placing my dowel in the center

so I knew where NOT to place the burlap pieces...

 

Then I just mixed my colors all the way around the

Styrofoam circle.... You take 1 square and fold up the

2 ends then fold in the other ends then place a pin through

it onto the Styrofoam.... I hope that makes sense... :o)

 

After I got all the Burlap on... I took some paint and

painted the dowel.... While it was drying I....

 

Used the Print & Cut Feature on my Cameo

to print out this CUTE Ducky from the Silhouette Store

Designer is Stinkin' Cute Cuttables....

I made 4 of them... 2 for the front & 2 for the back side

of my wreath.... I used Dimensionals to "POP" them up....

 

 

And here's my CUTE Ducky attached to the Dowel....

I used a hot glue gun to attach the Ducky and

to glue the dowel in the hole I made at the beginning

of this tutorial.... I had a white ribbon on another

wreath I made... and thought that looked the best on

this wreath.... So there you have it!

 

I Found the Styrofoam, Burlap, Dowels,

Pins, & Paint All at Walmart!

Just thought I would let you know! :o)
