Wow it looks like I haven't done anything in a really long time. Actually, I was reading quite a bit there for a while. Here is the outfit I made Paige for the 4th of July. Also, the clips and bracelet to match. I was able to make a cute 4th of July craft that one of my friends was nice enough to get together for me. Then I made pencils out of Rolos and Hershey Kisses for my kids' teachers. I got the idea out of the Creating Keepsakes magazine. I thought they were so cute and the teachers really liked them. Then I added Paige's birthday cake. It took a very long time to decorate, but it was a lot of fun. I was surprised it turned out as good as it did. I am not a cake decorator at all!

Bows, Mr. Potato Head, and Teacher Appreciation Gift

Thanks to the internet and Britney, I have been into making bows and flowers for Paige. They are so much fun and so easy! And soooo addicting!








This year for Blake's teacher I wanted to do something I haven't done before. I found the cute bucket on the internet. You just get candy wrappers and modge podge them on. Then I decorated pencils and made a little post it note thing. Then I gave her some dum dums and put "Thanks to you I'm no dum dum". I think she liked it. I hope anyway. But so fun!







A while ago, Kendyl, Jana and I started making these cute felt Mr. Potato Heads. I finally got it done. I am actually impressed with how it turned out. I hope my kids like it.

Here are some things I've been working on

I love the internet! Thanks to craftingchicks.blogspot for the quiet book ideas!

Layouts

Here are some of my favorite layouts at the moment. I'm sorry they're not the best pictures. I'm still working on learning how to scan and stitch. On the top left layout I cut and punched flowers out of transparencies and the painted on them. I also painted the border. On the top right one I made the flower on the picture out of ribbon and used lace as the frame. The picture on the bottom left lifts up and that's where my journaling is.
