.......I'm Bored

I have a million things that need to be done and I just cant get around to doing any of them...... My house is a mess and I'm having family over tomorrow for Easton's birthday dinner....I haven't even showered yet.....................I haven't started my Halloween tree, that I'm dying to make.............. so I got on the computer and saw this..........

I saw it over at star shine chic.  I see them all over on blog land and I have wanted to make one for ever, but for some reason hers as really inspired me to get off my hinnie and make one.  so I'm going to the dollar store RIGHT NOW to get me a book and I'm going make one.......even though I have a million other things that I need to do and I'm just to bored lazy to do them.

Birthday Wreath

....look at me, I finished it... just in time for her birthday tomorrow.  It's already hanging on my front door so that everybody that drives by can see it, because I'm sure that everyone looks at my front door when they drive by my house, but they will when they see this beauty.

Lets start from the beginning.....  while at Home Depot buying spray paint for my Halloween tree we walked down the pluming aisle don't ask my why, but we did,  I noticed this foam stuff that they had, so I picked the little feller' up and thought to myself this will work, all I need to do is tape the ends together and its only .97 cents.....so wa-la, beets making another stop to the dollar store for a wreath, and you could get two wreaths out of it.

 Just cut the length that you need and tape the edges together.

Cover the wreath with fabric
I was lazy and taped the fabric on.

 

And I was even more lazy when it came to cutting strips of fabric....I already had these cut out, so i just used what I had.
.....here comes my favorite part, adding all the fab-u-lous 

a crown for the birthday girl with a paper flower

 

 some paper dollies

 

a #2 

and here it is all finished 

I used my cricut for the crown, #2, and celebrate.

and here's her cupcake birthday plate.  I glued a plate and a glass bowl that I turned upside down together with E-6000 glue.

Thanks for Looking!!

Projects

My Baby, Easton is turning 2 on Friday!!! I can't believe she is going to be two!! Times goes by way toooooooo fast. When you ask her how old she is going to be, she says "four" so apparently she wants to skip 2 and 3 and go right to four. If I could I would stop time and keep both my girls at this age. Don't we all want to do this.... maybe some day. But since I cant stop time, at the moment, how about some projects that I will be doing this week......

1. some sort of picture wreath to show off how cute the birthday girl is

2. cut down tree branches for my Halloween tree

3. I'm not going to have a number 3, 2 projects for me is penalty, since I have a small b-day party to plan.

so until I start them..... here is a picture of Easton and if i get off the computer i can start one of them, and have some pictures for you.

she too.....is waiting for some pictures!!

 

Happy Weekend!

some Fall cuteness

My girls needed some new jackets for the fall, even thought it hasn't been fall like weather here, but trust me its coming.  This wonderful summer weather, will soon come to an end.   I was browsing the selections at Walmart and I came across these snuggly, warm, fuzzy jackets and I loved them, but they needed something............so I added some cuteness!

 

 I cut a flower out with my cricut and then applied it on the back of the sweat shirts, added three circles on top of the flower and then sewed around the flower and the circles.

For the front I gathered a 1" stripe of fabric and added some more circles.

 aren't they just adorable???  Not to mention, the two girls wearing them.

THANKS FOR LOOKING!

Happy Birthday Shane!

Our Little friend Shane turned 3 the other day, so we made him his very own cookie jar to go along with his other presents.  I have a ton of jars left over from my pin cushion obsession, that you can see here and here.  We filled the jar with chocolate animal crackers and made a cute little tag with my cricut.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHANE!!
