Mother's Day Gifts..

I posted an earlier entry about me helping with Mother's Days' gifts. Well Mother's Day has come and gone and here is a few pictures of just a few of the crafts I helped with. My favorite of course is the shadow box my friend Becca and I made for my B.F.F Wendy.


ENjoy :)

 It took all this to make...


This wonderful shadow box.

wore a Wonder Woman onsie home from the hospital

This is just because I couldn't resist! 
I just LOVE this little girl! 



p.s I can't seem to get the other pictures of the other crafts to upload :(

Summer Fun Anyone??

I have an amazing job! No, really I do! Most people aren't as lucky as I am to have a great job but really I do! I love the people I work with and 99.9% of the time I enjoy the work they ask me to do.

The place of my employment does a Summer Fun Guide every year. Now this Summer Fun Guide lists over 100 different business and what programs (for kids and/or adults) they will be offering for the summer. We also include information for museums and other fun things to do around Louisiana. I won't lie though, putting the guide together (which was my job this year) was NOT fun! I tried several times to get them to fire me from this particular task but I failed at each attempt. Miserably I might add.

Anyway back to the point of this blog post. This year our business' theme is A Seussical Summer. Which means we are planning our activities and decorations around Dr. Seuss books and characters. I am really excited about it and the decorations are coming along quite nicely. I am also hoping, pleading, begging and even praying my AWESOME boss will let me dress up as a Dr. Seuss character at some point during the summer!!!

I will probably be posting several different pictures of the crafts we complete as we go about decorating! Like I said I am really looking forward to this summer and the finished decorations. We are planning on making a Lorax and the Truffula trees that he,the Lorax, speaks for. Until those are done here are pictures of our blown up, traced, shaded, cut out and eventually laminated of One fish, Two fish, Red fish, Blue fish!!

I LOVE being CRAFTY!!









The smaller cards you see in each picture are what we used to print out on a transparency sheet so that we could use our nifty old fashioned overhead projector to trace the images larger. Not too shabby eh?

Crafting is my middle name this week

I have been very busy being a crafty girl this week. It all started Saturday evening when I went to help my BFF Wendy make mother's day gifts for her mom and mom-in-law. Followed two days later by making a present for said BFF from her daughter Anna. My friend Becca was a HUGE help with that gift. I also helped my cousin with another fun craft today.

I have been busy making center pieces for my little sister's wedding reception as well but that's an ongoing process, one that I will be glad to be done with soon.

Pictures of all these will be appearing shortly after Mother's Day. I don't want to ruin the surprise by posting them all now. Not that anyone really reads this but still it would be my luck that somebody would.
