I've been scrappin'


I'm so glad I've gotten so many layouts completed lately! This is the completed stack that I have to put in albums. I can't do that until I've gotten caught up though, because I'm jumping around from year to year & the albums are chronological. It doesn't bother me because at least I can get a sense of accomplishment from looking at and looking through this big stack!

Vintage Wind-Up Robots


I love robots and they are so trendy right now, so I was happy to stumble upon these two from my childhood when visiting my grandma's house recently. Mason took an immediate liking to them as well and grandma told him he could take them home. It was at that moment I knew I had to photograph them! I remember Angela and I playing with them and although one doesn't work and a few small pieces have been broken off, they still hold their robot charm!

8x10 Flower Painting

As promised, here is one of the paintings I finished recently. It's actually the first one I started when I first began to paint. The flower is faux leather and is attached with a brad. The dots look almost black on here, but they match the green flower.

A few of my latest projects

The paintings I promised to show you are STILL not completed. I just haven't made it back to Hobby Lobby to get the last few supplies I need, so I'm at a stand still with those for now. Maybe I'll make it there this afternoon (if it stops raining) or tomorrow. I'm just dying to get them done.
Here are some letters I made a few weeks ago. The "S" is up for grabs (anyone want to buy it for say, $10?) but the "J" is reserved for a certain someone who MIGHT be having a boy (you know who you are--and no, it's not me!)
I've just been playing around with my supplies and these distressed letters are fun to make!

Gotta Love PB Kids

I'm just in love with these cute things from Pottery Barn Kids. Simple things like this just make me smile...
