Craft Spot coming into reality!

 

 Before.... 

Midpoint.  (Sorry, I was just so proud I did this much all by myself :-)

 

And the After!   Ta-Da!  Still a work in progress, but all the craft stuff is tucked away nicely.  

Earring Frame

I saw someone else do this and new I had to do it ASAP!  I love getting my jewelery out of the box!

Someone with a lot more jewelry would probably need a bigger frame.  ;-)

Spring Wreath

I know, I am a little wreath crazy, but that is mainly because I never thought I could do it.  Here is my new Spring Wreath taken from one of my previous inspirations.

Decision Finally Made

Remember my inspiration curtains I have been crushing on HERE?  Well I finally found some that come close.

And for a girl who has been living in a brown/black home for the last year and a half, devoid of all things color, it took me a few days to get use to having this bright color in my home, but now I love them.  This is such a happy blue to me (that you might have noticed I am a little obsessed about). And I love finally having some color.

Valentine Cards 2011

Big achievement for Miss Non-Scrapbooker here.   I even used double sided tape for the first time.  (ridiculous, I know.  please suppress your giggles ;-)  There is a pocket inside that fit FunDips.  Here is to learning new things, slowly but surely.
HUGE thanks to http://eighteen25.blogspot.com/2011/02/matchbook-valentines.html
And also a big thanks to my sweetheart who knows photoshop.  (Add that to my very long to-learn list)

My Valentines Wreath and Growth Chart

Here are some of the things I have been working on lately.

This last one still needs help.  1.  I need to figure out how to put Katelyn's name on the top.  Anyone have a cricket or stencils?  2. I think it is way too cute to put my handwriting on, so I have been trying to think of something I could glue on and write on as a marker.  Any ideas?

Christmas Presents

 Matching bracelets for Katelyn and her cousin Savanna.  I finally learned how to make them!  It took a little trial and error, but we are having a lot of fun with them now.

Black Friday Project

In lieu of shopping, this was my project for the day

 

 Now you know why I want to make those magnets!

Big Bare Wall

I FINALLY did something with my big bare wall in my family room.  Having procrastinated for an entire year, it makes me happy to finally have something on it.

Shhh... Don't Tell

Let there be JOY and more

No slowing in sight yet.  Here are my latest projects, with 3 more coming soon.

(Special thanks to Fantastic Friday)

I Spy A Dinosaur's Eye

Here is what I have been up to lately:

 

This is my first attempt at making a birthday cake that wasn't just round or square. I think it turned out pretty good for a first undertaking.

 

Remember that invitation inspiration I posted a while ago?  I think mine turned out even better.

And one more Halloween craft my girlfriend Lindsey helped me with.

My Projects

Okay, here we go. This is a taste of what I have been up to.
