Bad to the bone




Silly as she is, Hallie LOVES to chew on celery! Ummm... pretty sure how on earth do you pick a fav out of these pics?? No way I could so you get all of them!

1950's


My assignment: create invites for ty's grandparent's 50th wedding anniversary celebration

My plan: watch 50's inspired movies
  1. Greece
  2. ???? I have no clue, I'm so mainstream any suggestions?

My ideas:

  1. diner inspired black/white checks
  2. sparkle stars
  3. vinyl records
  4. "vegas"
  5. pic of them from the 50's

The creation method: handmade or digital???

My thoughts: not so into the 50's theme for invites, the ideas are definitely not flowing. I'm drawn to the more "modern" 50's look, but want the 50's theme to be obvious- so some how I plan to pull off a more "modern" obvious 50's look??? we'll see- the possibilities are endless!

burp cloths


Before last week I had a HUGE box full of stuff, ok really junk, I've bought over the last few years for various projects. Well I got rid of most of the junk at the garage sale, but held on to a few things I still really wanted to do and now that our house is clean I can actually do them!! So 2 projects down and a few more to go!

I saw the idea for these burp cloths on this blog, so this is my version- i think the lucky winner will be my sis if she ever decides to have the baby!!! They are made from cloth diapers, I totally should have used darker thread, but I didn't want to have to go out and buy some, oh well- Enjoy :)

And the class clown award goes to...


HALLIE!!!


Hallie is such a GOOF lately, she definitely takes after her dad in a lot of ways. She gets so excited, has so much energy, loves to have people's attention and she's always putting on a show. Here's some shots of her goofy faces...


She's such a GOOF!!!!

Fun canvas project

In the mayhem of garage sale week and the tail end of declutter summer, I found some time to decompress after seeing this super cute idea at a scrapbook store in bham (which is totally my new fav! too bad I don't live there- oh wait doesn't it rain a lot there? maybe it's a good thing!) anyway I totally had to scraplift this one so here's my version...
