Happy Halloween

Some shots from our Halloween festivities!

When did Halloween turn into more than one night??????

Gunpowder and Lead

Over the weekend Hubby and I went to the Pawnee National Grasslands for some target practice. It was a beautiful day to spend outdoors enjoying our 2nd amendment rights ;).

Proud to be an American!

My Family’s a Circus

Growing up I enjoyed reading The Family Circus comic strip. We even had books full of Bil Keane comics that my siblings and I would read though again and again.

My sweet grandma is a newspaper clipper and every so often sends me clippings of comics and different articles. A while ago I received a package from her and as always, some clippings were included. Pleasantly surprising, a few were actually funny- and relatable; so I thought I’d pass on the smile.

You’re welcome!

Sugar and Spice part two

I also made Dan and Lindsey a few other crafts as part of my gift.

I painted the walls of the nursery for baby Lucy, and wanted to give it a special touch, so I painted these letters that match her bedding.

And no baby shower would be complete without a diaper wreath, from the wreath queen herself.

So excited to meet Baby Lucy in November!

 

Side note: I’m way into making all these baby crafts you’ve seen, and I’d be more than thrilled to make some as gifts for you and your friends and family. Email me if you’re interested!

Sugar and Spice …. part one

We have some dear friends, Dan and Lindsey, who are expecting a baby girl in November. Her shower was this past weekend, and since I can’t girlie up my boys, this was a chance to make some fun girlie things for the new baby. My craft of choice; headbands. Who can resist a baby girl with a big fat bow/flower/headband on? TOO CUTE! So, I got busy and made these.

Dan is a HUGE sports fan, so I decided to make the headbands team colors to match her fan apparel. (From left; Titans, Nuggets, CU Buffs (gag), and Broncos)

 

One of my favorite bloggers says, “The bigger the bow, the better the mama.” I couldn’t agree more!

Stay tuned for Sugar and Spice part 2

But the greatest of these…

Look what I created with my free table!

Remember this guy??

Yup, the table legs went in the trash.

Ok, now a clean slate to work with. Sorry all of these “before” pictures show the BOTTOM of the table, the top was in REALLY bad condition, but perfect for a barnwood sign.

Another successful projector project! And I love up-cycling too!

First Watercolor set

Last week I bought Carter a watercolor paint set. He has yet to decide if he’s more interested in the paint or playing in the water.

Ryne’s never one to be shy in front of the camera ;)
