Cursive Cuteness!

Cursive fonts are so in right now~I just love them!
I had to make something too!

I found this really fun font to use and grabbed some cute paper down at Hobby Lobby.
That store...I could literally spend hours there!

I've been fiddling around with whether I should link all the letters or do them separately~
What do you guys think?

My sister told me to "branch out" and "try something new".  It's a change for me, you guys know how I love my bright colors and glitter.  I'm also trying to update on here when I can.  My sister and I have been so busy with life that we've been slow posting over at Crafty Sisters, let alone here.  So if this page hasn't update for a while make sure to pop over to Crafty Sisters to see what we've been up to.  Now if I can only survive the next couple of weeks till school is out....I see a summer of fun projects ahead!

Girly Pennant Banner

Just had to share how cute this little banner turned out!
It was a gift from an Aunt to her Niece for her birthday
to hang in her room.  I wish my picture did it justice~you know me, I'm never good at snapping pictures when I'm trying to whisk things out the door into the mail.
Not only did I love it but now my daughter is requesting~well, more like ordering me to make one
for her room.  Of course it's going to have to have owls on it.....boy I'm going to have to think about how to put that one together!

I got a few more Easter sets done and cut out a few extra bunny silhouettes from our Wood You Like To Craft project this month.

  I've felt like I've had an extra oomph to me with the beautiful sunshine and weather lately.  Don't you just love spring!?

Brrrrrrr......it's cold!

Brrrr.....it's been so cold here that it's not very exciting to cut wood when I can't feel my fingers.  It takes my little heater all day running to heat up my shed enough for it to be tolerable to cut.  And I use the word tolerable loosely.

Had to show you all a quick shot of a custom set of Believe letters I did up right before Christmas and thought they were so fun!  I used a lot of the same papers from the FaLaLa set of letters I did.  I was really happy with the result and even happier to figure out how to retrieve the picture from my phone.

Life has been crazy and this blog has been on the back burner while I tried to make it through the Holidays and keep up with my church and PTO duties.  Yup, somehow I was talking into being the VP of our school's PTO.  It's been a very interesting learning experience but it also takes a lot of time and commitment.  I'm still thinking there might be a way to set this blog up as a gallery of sorts but have it all linked through my other blog with my sister, Crafty Sisters.  I need to get a bit more computer literate to do that one.:)

I did get a couple of things listed in Etsy today.  I only have one set of BE MINE letters left with this fun vintage paper.  I have to admit that these are probably one of my very favorite letters that I've done.  I do love the Dr. Pepper can hearts!  I also have a couple of sets of SWAK letters too.  I just love the red glitter lips!

I was going through my papers and found enough to put together 3 sets of the Believe letters in most of the original papers.  I still need to list them......

I'm anxious for it to warm up and for Spring to be here.  The other day I was in Hobby Lobby looking at Valentine stuff and I have to admit I thought it was so Ho Hum and found myself gravitating over to the Easter stuff being brought in.  The colors, the animals, everything about it just makes me happy and eager to create.
What do you get more excited for~Valentines or Easter?
Hearts or baby chicks and bunnies.....life is full of hard choices huh!
Happy Weekend!

Halloween Boo-tique 2012

It's hard to believe that it's already Fall around here!

FYI~next week is Holiday House's fun Fall/Halloween Boo-tique!

Here's the adorable flier:

Don't forget to "like" them on Facebook and enter for a chance

to win some boutique bucks to spend!

For me~I'm already dreaming of the yummy caramel covered marshmallow treats

that Lovin' Oven cooks up!

Meanwhile I've been busy as ever cutting out witch shoes

and my house is covered with spiderweb yarn and googly eyeballs.....

I love Halloween!

Hope to see you there!

SWAK Wood Letters

I've always wanted to do some SWAK letters

and finally got around to it!

I really wanted a fun playful font and

used some of the gorgeous My Mind's Eye paper

that we used over at Crafty Sisters for a fun 

Valentine banner.  My pictures don't do it justice!

I used some of our Meyer Imports German Glass Glitter

for the lips, which turned out quite delicious!

Very fun!

I also finally used the last of my paper

to make up a couple of sets of Be Mine letters.

I absolutely loved these,

probably more so because I got to use

my Dr. Pepper cans to adorn them.

I tried searching all over last night for anywhere that might have

any of this paper left and I came up empty handed.

Anyone got any ideas of where to look?

It's Vintage Valentine by Fancy Pants Designs.

I love this paper!

I'm thinking I might just surpass anything Shamrock-ish this year

because I get so excited to do Spring crafts.

What is it about those colors and bunny rabbits that make me so giddy?

It is by far my favorite time of year,

when the tulips all start coming up~I love it!

Right after Christmas we had an unusually warm couple of days

and I headed outside and planted 130+ bulbs

that I picked up for 75% off this fall and didn't manage

to get them in the ground until then.

I'm looking forward to a glorious show this year,

and yes, they have nothing to do with wood

but I promise I'll share the pictures!

Happy February Friends!:)
