Baby Shower Gifts

Ok yet another pinterest idea that I had to do.  I have two friends having babies pretty soon and wanted to do something cute.  So I made onsie cupcakes and onsie sweet rolls.  They are super easy to do and you can find the instructions on pinterest.  I wanted to change it up a bit so instead of the cake box, I used an aluminum tub.  On the boy tub you can see that I personalized the tub.  On the girl tub i am going to personalize it later.  I am going to put "Paige's Bows" on it.  They are so cute.  It was a hit with the first friend, so I hope the second loves it just as much.  Here are pictures.

Wreaths

I have been into making wreaths lately.  I can blame this on Pinterest!!!  I love that site and now have more creative ideas than I know what to do with.  HAHA!  Here are some of my recent Holiday wreaths!

This is my Fall/Halloween wreath

This is my Christmas wreath.

This is a wreath that I just made for my Mom! 

I am working on a Valentine's wreath and Easter wreath.  Like I said, I am a little obsessed with making these things right now.  I need one for every holiday!  I will post more as I finish them.  Happy Crafting!

This is my Valentine's wreath. 

Crafty Refurbished Lap Boards

These are lap boards that my husband and I aquired in 3 year old preschool.  We both saved them from when we were in the same preschool class so many years ago. (A long time ago!!! Hehehe!) I found them in a closet not too long ago decided that I needed to redo them for our two kids.  So I decided to actually get them out and do them.  Here is the before picture.  As you can see they have been very well used in the last 30 plus years.

Before the Kilz

Next I took paint from each of  their rooms to paint the background color.  I painted Adison's pink and Carson's blue.  After that I chose a design and painted their name and design on the boards.  Now they each have their own lap board that will last another 30 plus years.  

After

After I was done painting the boards, I put two coats of laquer on them to protect them and make them easy to clean up.  The kids loved them!

I'm back!

Here I am again.  Changing things up a little bit.  I now have more crafty hobbies up my sleeve and not just scrapbooking and card making.  I have now taken on cake baking and decorating, sewing, photo editing, invitation designing and many other crafts.  I am going to be posting many of my old projects and many more new ones. I can't wait to share with you.  Happy Crafting!
