So glad I did... I just LOVE it!<br />

We finally got married and I decided to make burlap banners for the family picture after the ceremony and the dessert table at our picnic reception.</div><div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXJw2Q-vHKC3-zg-TVK2INTqnxWkZ3Nu1oMQ2bypTN1lP5SZnbK7q5Qp4nJDVghBw9fmsd8yu_9asBFbGMKISdpzv_DxBg4a7vp9ukb06dY3invq-bOvgDP3IQQ12Q1uMDnX6foQ/s1600/just+married.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXJw2Q-vHKC3-zg-TVK2INTqnxWkZ3Nu1oMQ2bypTN1lP5SZnbK7q5Qp4nJDVghBw9fmsd8yu_9asBFbGMKISdpzv_DxBg4a7vp9ukb06dY3invq-bOvgDP3IQQ12Q1uMDnX6foQ/s400/just+married.jpg" /></a> </div><div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhD6UpJgRIw3KCLZCKdjuQikqY1c3nbIeHEcJ2WC5hpM4i_p6XJvmIFhG_7GwFVSggsUuK1-id2n6MpyjVmPeeB1HPbku8uyi_22_sAU6QRxhdHcngHz_GkRuHom7lXIkVMXA8kEw/s1600/IMG_3367.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhD6UpJgRIw3KCLZCKdjuQikqY1c3nbIeHEcJ2WC5hpM4i_p6XJvmIFhG_7GwFVSggsUuK1-id2n6MpyjVmPeeB1HPbku8uyi_22_sAU6QRxhdHcngHz_GkRuHom7lXIkVMXA8kEw/s400/IMG_3367.JPG" /></a><br />

I cannot believe that it has been over a year since I have updated this blog. Unfortunately I have not had the space to do my paper crafting and I just hate packing everything up every time I try to make something. I like to be able to pick right back up where I left off. Although I have not made any cards or albums, I discovered Pinterest about the time I stopped posting and have found plenty of ideas to keep me crafty. I thought that I would share with you a few of the projects that I have worked on over the past year.<br />

<u> <strong><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">BABY SHOWER</span></strong></u><br />
<span style="color: black;">Lots of ideas from Pinterest here... The owl cake shape was from Pinterest, along with the tissue paper decorations, and the onesie with the tie on it. The vase that the tulips were in was an old olive jar that I wrapped string around and added a tulle bow. It turned out sooo pretty. I designed the favor labels on my computer. I made a garland with the little onesies and tied matching fabric bows with the onesies. Very cute.</span><br />

My goal was to use up some of my scraps, 12 cards later with multiple layers, and I don't think I will ever see the end of them. I am truly addicted to foam dots and I have just about ran out of my stash. (Just a note... foam dots lose their sticky if you have them too long... I have had some projects fall apart over time- the were ones that I had bought at the dollar store though). <br />
<br />
This little guy was made using the dog from Create-a-Critter and my Gypsy. I used flocking for the nose of the puppy- he is so soft- and I used some of my rhinestones to dress up his little collar, and my white Signo pen to accent the heart.<br />

My daughter has a birthday party this weekend and needed a gift. Since money is a little tight we decided to give her friend a gift card and make these sock monkey cake pops. Her friend loves monkeys and I LOVE sock monkeys. We took a few tied a bow around them and there you have it... A Sock Monkey Bouquet. <br />I just wanted to stop in and let you know that I have not dropped off of the face of the earth... just haven't had the motivation to create lately. I am now leaving for a job interview for a little part-time job to cover the extra days off that we get from my full-time job.

(She's one of the only people who really appreciates my homemade cards- I make them for all of her kids' birthdays) I really love all of the shaped cards and layers that Donna Mundinger does at her <a href="http://donnamundinger-popsicletoes.blogspot.com/">Popsicletoes blog </a>so I thought I would give it a try. There are lots of popdots! <br />

Here's a little card I made today<div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;">Finally... I took some time for me today and designed a little card for my fiance'. We've had a little visitor over the weekend and he took care of the little problem. So, I decided to design him a little mouse card using my Gypsy. I used lots of foam dots and lugged out my sewing machine to do some stitching. Boy did it feel good to lose myself in my crafting even if it was only 45 minutes of my day.<br />

I have made his birthday card every year- my cousin looks forward to seeing what I will make each year. This year I took the shark from the Birthday Bash cartridge and replaced the 5 that goes with it with a 6. The postage stamp shaped card shape is also from Birthday Bash. The card was cut at 5.5 and the shark was cut at 4.25.

I am finally done. Now I need to get crackin' and make something. I used to have the cabinets that are under the table in the closet but I needed the extra storage space so I moved them out and put a black curtain over the entrance to the closet. The doors to the upper cabinets are painted with chalkboard paint.<br />

It was very exciting to see how fast these little robins grew. And amazingly I got to witness 2 of the babies leave the nest. The first one flew and landed on my car and I got a picture of it looking at its reflection in the window. <br />

I decided to just cut out this cute little girl that looked like she was holding a sparkler. Then I added some Stickles that I hadn't used in ages to make it look like a sparkler. I think I just may cut out a few more of these cute little stick figures. I think they are rather adorable.</div><div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div align="left" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"><strong>UPDATE:</strong> My mother opted to have surgery to remove the cancer in lung vs. chemo and radiation. She had a very rough time after the surgery and was in intensive care for 11 days- 9 of which they still had her under and on a respirator. Today is day 15 and I <strong></strong>got to bring her home with me. I am so very blessed to still have her here with me and the very best part is I am on vacation for the next 10 days and I get to spend it being with her and taking the very best care of her. I may have talked her into making a card with me so that she can send it to the wonderful nurses in the ICU that took care of her. Just so you know, she is NOT a crafter <u>at all.</u> Thank you for all of the prayers.</div><div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://picasa.google.com/blogger/" target="ext"><img align="middle" alt="Posted by Picasa" border="0" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif" style="-moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; background: 0% 50%; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></a></div>Annettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14723574740430166556noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36486476.post-32681576812004790222011-06-12T19:47:00.002-04:002011-06-12T23:15:05.004-04:00A tour of my favorite things in our new home<div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;">I wanted to share with you all some of my favorite things in our new home. I have been trying very hard to make this house feel like our home. Do you get what I mean? Yes, I love the fact that we are in our new house but it wasn't feeling very homey yet. We've done a few little projects here and there this weekend and it's getting there. I am loving it!<br />
<br />
#1- My craigslist find... a new computer armoire. I really wasn't liking having the computer in the living room. Seeing a bunch of cords all over the place drives me nuts. So I was checking out craigslist and I found this cottage style computer armoire for 50 bucks. I was so excited! I was finding the same one online for $300 plus shipping. I love it and it looks great in my living room!<br />

#2- I am not big on artwork so I had been checking out a few diy decorating blogs and found some photo collages and decided to give it a try. So today Keith and I finally put it up. I love it way more than trying to find a piece of artwork to put up on the wall. I am very grateful that Keith was here to help me because he used all sorts of measurements to get it spaced out the way I layed it out on the floor. I stink at measuring. I think the next thing I may look for is a coffee table for in front of the couch. It looks a little bare.</div><br />

Here's a close up of the photo collage- full of my favorite favorite photos from then and now.</div><br />

<br />
This is a bench that we found at an estate sale. I had intentions of painting it but I really liked the distress look and the color in the living room. I made the envelope pillow cases and the wreath on the bench with a few things that I bought at the Christmas Tree Shop. I love that store for decorating on the cheap.</div><br />

This is a rocker that Keith's Poppy made. I am looking for a cream color seat cushion and maybe a new quilt to lay over the back of the chair. I really love this chair. It has character and has sentimental value for Keith.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The stairs were one of the selling features for us. I loved how they refinished them with the cherry stain. I found the stair basket at a garage sale last year for $3. What a steal! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrUIgawEM0dHvUAxn_VmHwFhJDpzEeJeahu6zjO7Espg2fSR3QwF1J5PKmjq8orUYustA7RAi2gh62KfqkpmJdqMnBrBZ12E-jVhuFZznDI0ofYH0PbpCg835ixKyvJY6yUoYifg/s1600/IMG_0095-1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrUIgawEM0dHvUAxn_VmHwFhJDpzEeJeahu6zjO7Espg2fSR3QwF1J5PKmjq8orUYustA7RAi2gh62KfqkpmJdqMnBrBZ12E-jVhuFZznDI0ofYH0PbpCg835ixKyvJY6yUoYifg/s320/IMG_0095-1.JPG" t8="true" width="179" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We also love the shelves under the stairs. I had a curio cabinet but didn't really like it anymore. So I sold it and set up all my favorite little treasures in the little nook. Can you see my sock monkey? I LOVE sock monkeys. My grandma made it. The pair of shoes are my first pair of shoes that my mother had bronzed.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And last we had this ugly brown armoire in my living room that I was thinking of getting rid of but we were also looking for a matching dresser to go in our bedroom because we were sharing one between the two of us. I painted it black to match, got the same types of handles, and distressed it and it goes perfectly with the other one. The pottery on the armoire was made my daughter. It goes wonderfully with our room. She is an awesome artist. Some of you may remember the finger print self portrait.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
