Crafting injury!

In the process of making a new super cute wreath - I literally burnt the junk out of my hand. My PALM to be exact. Of my right hand. It's awful. I have a huge blister and it has made me sad today. The husband and I have holed up in the apartment and decided on a cozy afternoon of movies. We are watching....
Does anyone else LOVE Zack Galifianakis as much as us?

I am going to try to make some hairbows. I ended up buying some black tulle at Hobby Lobby and am super excited about using it! Here are some pictures of the new wreathes that I have made this weekend! I am quite proud of them. The first one is the one that burnt me so bad.. Hah! 









How was your weekend?

The husband and I are going to...


today!


Have you ever been? This will be our first time - but I have heard such great things. Plus, I am signing up for a local craft festival in July. Pretty excited about today's events!

CPR training!

Today I have CPR and First Aid training at my job. I must say that I do love knowing how to do these things not only at my job, but in my day to day life. I am the aunt of FOUR beautiful babies. Ranging in ages 7 all the way down to a newborn! 1 boy and 3 girls! I love being an aunt more than anything in the whole world. :) I like knowing that I know how to take care of them completely if I am babysitting them or just hanging around with the family.

Oh, did I show you what I made Thursday? I attempted PomPom hairbows! Let me tell you, I have FALLEN in love. They are so cute and fluffy. Here a few that I have made! If you want to purchase any, please feel free to comment on here or email me.

Look what I made today! 

True Life - my sister is a better artist than me.

My sister is a talented artist. She JUST needs to get out there and start doing it more! She can paint a bouquet of roses and it look completely life-like. It's crazy and somewhat annoying that she is so good, (kidding). She really has to find the confidence in what she does and sell it. Find the THING that she LOVES to do and work at it! For reals. Look what she did for my dad's basement/shop.

Her and her husband sanded, stained, painted, stenciled. Then they added eye hooks on the back. It looks like a "beach-driftwood/old timey thing".

That is my encouragement to you as you go about your day. Find what you love and do it. Don't keep procrastinating and making up excuses. GO FOR IT. Even if it's silly and random. God wants you to be fulfilled in your life and to enjoy it. Find that craft, hobby, workout or whatever it is - and DO IT!

P.S -- post coming about my MOM'S talent. It's crazy. My family has insane craftiness in their bodies.

Oh, and by the way..

WE ARE CUTE!
