So I have been gone for a really long time, but I have a great excuse! I have been really busy taking on a new position at work, trying to make new items for my etsy shop, which never make it there, since they sell before i can post them. Also I am still keeping up with my Pinterest Challenge. 36 Projects in 2012. I am already up to 15. So with that, I will give you a super photo heavy post. Just so that you know why I haven't posted in forever.
I have really been trying to make all my greeting cards lately. Yes they take up some time, but I think they mean more than the average Hallmark card. Some real TLC goes into these babies.
I am trying to get some stock built up right now. So of course my OCD kicks in and I have to organize them. I don't like the box i currently have them in, so I am on the hunt for a cute wicker basket to store them.
I have done a little scrapping but no much. Since my bestie lives a kazillion miles away now, we decided that we need something to keep us connected and not forget about one another. Life get crazy and I want to make sure that she knows I will never forget about her. So every month we send each other scrappy pages for our traveling journal. She has one and I have one. We also scrap in it ourselves. Just to let one another know what is going on in our life. Could be something or nothing. Then in a year we will trade journals and see our own pages and the others. Here were mine last month.
And of course there's the little tooth fairy monsters. I have added a new size...the mini for $12.00. They are super cute too and fun to make. I am trying to build up stock for my booth in November.
Keeping with the craftyness, here is a pinterest project I did. Only took a couple glasses of wine, an evening alone and one burn from a hot glue gun. Yes I still would have burn myself if wine wasn't involved. LOL.
I also got to go to a bridal shower. It was for my 2nd cousin's fiance. I haven't seen some of those family members for about 4 years. It was a lot of fun catching up.
Here is my gift for the bride. I framed it on orange burlap.
Holy buckets is snowed here in MAY!! Oh how I love snow.
Here are 2 more pinterest projects. I was commissioned to paint in a little girl and boy's room. Both rooms took 17 hours to complete. I did it in 2 days.
Taping took 7 hours...for the record...
I really like how it turned out. I think I want to do it in my house, but make the zig-zags bigger. Less taping... I feel this post is about me, me, me, so I give you John. He was spoiled this past month and got an extra large green egg. I do get to reap the benefits of the amazing food he has made on it though.
We have also went to a bunch of baseball games.
That's all for now peeps! Hopefully I won't be so long next time. MUAH!
