Craft Night w/my sista!







Well my sister had this awesome letter thing she wanted to make for a friends birthday (wish I woulda taken a pic...) so she came over and we had some homemade pizza and had a little craft night.

Also, I found my during pics of making the stone wreath.

I'm getting a little discouraged about all the crafty things I want to do because they are never as easy as they look and they never turn out as I think/want...:-/ My stones on my spring wreath fall off 1 at a time daily....ugh. I just get the hot glue gun out and put it back on. haha

Also, I posted some pics of some of the flowers that hubby and I planted a few weeks ago, we were really happy with how it all turned out for our first time. And then the hail came on Sunday :-( All our pretty flowers are gone. so much time...money...UGH darn weather!!!

anywho, I'm in the middle of redoing an ugly wall clock..someone gave it to us for our wedding and I of course forgot a before pic, but believe me its ugly! ha! so i spray painted the gold hands and covered the rest with cloth...now I'm not sure what i'm going to do..its too plain.... so thats next!

The letters "N" and "M" were an idea I've had for awhile...but completely different. ha. I wanted to do sticky letters and just glass frame and then put a pretty ribbon to hang it on the wall on each side of our bed...but then i found the pretty scrapbook paper and thought it would make the color of our bed....it doesn't....oh well! ha I'll find another place to put these cuz I still like them! :-)

Spring Wreath!


Well I have finished my spring wreath for my front door! I actually had pictures all through out the process but my camera decided not to keep them, ugh. Anyway, it took quite a bit of time doing this wreath but well worth it! It's so cute for spring! I'm still unsure of how to hang it, I think my ribbons are going to come off because it is a really heavy wreath now with the stones but hopefully they don't all break! If you want to know how to do it, I got the directions from http://nv-craftenvy.blogspot.com/2010/04/stone-wreath.html
just make sure you paint the wreath, not spray paint. I originally spray painted it, but the foam just soaks up the spray paint and took multiple coats and still you could tell it was green. therefore paint it!
anywho, it was pretty simple and cheap! the flowers are leftovers from wedding stuff, along with the ribbon, woot!

welp Happy Sunday!
