December Daily

I have been quietly working away at my December daily album and it is almost complete. I ran out of adhesive.... I know, how could I??? I did order some last week but unfortunatly it wont be here till Saturday so until then I get to stare at my unfinished book. I thought I would give you a sneak at what it is looking like though. Im thinking when I am done another video will be called for so that I am not posting a milliion pictures.

I also wanted to note that I got a Canon selphy 4x6 printer especially for this project and let me just say..... one of my best ideas ever! I probably could have stayed up on the journaling and done a batch print every week or two and then put the pictures in the book but being able to print pictures right away and work on the album really helped me get it done. Love this little printer.

A gift for a friend

So my sister came up with this idea all I had to do was cut it with the cricut.... I think she will be getting a cricut for her birthday at the rate shes having me cut things for her lol. Anyway this was super easy to do and total cost was about $7 for the block.

Teacher gift

Yes I am alive.... its not that i havent been crafty, Ive just been lazy about uploading pictures and posting to the blog. I have four teachers to make gifts for this year and didnt want to spend a lot of money. I bought these 6x6 tiles at lowes for about 70 cents each and the little stands at Craft Warehouse 40% off of $6 each. Not bad for a gift.

I love how it turned out and I am trying not to stress about the stand being a little too big for the tile..... trying.....

senior pictures

Car windows.....

My nephew called me up and asked me to make him a grizzly paw print for his car window...... oh ya and a Raiders one for the other side. I said no problem! Ok, maybe I shoulda charged him for the TIME it took to layer the three colors on the paw! Oh well I think it turned out amazing! As soon as he sends me a picture of it on his car I will post that too, but for now these pictures will have to do.

Growth Chart!!!

Two posts in one day wow! Maybe I should have saved this project to post tomorrow to spread the love, but I am so excited about this project I just cant! I have had this project floating around in my head for a while now, just needed to get the supplies and DO IT. I finished up the design on my gypsy and was able to get it cut out on one sheet of 12x24 piece of vinyl. I used an L on plantin school book and for the numbers used street sign (a favorite cart of mine). for the title I used Mickey font. I probably would have done the whole project in brown, but I ran out of brown so red it is :)

I got the board from lowes for $6 (it already had nice curved edges on it), paint $13 (a quart, but now I know I could have gotten away with a sample size paint can for $3) in Valspar Desert Fortress.

I love that this growth chart is longer than all I have seen, just wish I had done this when my kids were littler! Oh well I guess it will be ready for grandbabies.... those better not come for a LONG time either!
