Oh what have i done

well , a whole lot of this and that.  But havent really blogged about any of it. 

Score!! Found 3 packs of these at our Gateway store for $1 each. 

Made a table for my craft/sewing/computer/junk room.  I kinda/sorta went by

the directions Tracie gave here.  I still have to get my drop cloth to add the skirt around it. 

And then it'll be so pretty. 

Made a sign with vinyl I won. 

Made a photo holder for my grandkids pics.  The back has clothespins

glued on upside down to hold the pics.  I put 5 across.

(hoping to make some more of these soon to sell)

columns after they have been painted - also added black satin

ribbon around the top and bottom base. 

My two pregnant ladies back in September or end of August.  This was the day

of Amb's bachelorette party.

Pretty hospital door hanger Amb made for her sister.  She added the name,

date of birth, and weight afterwards.

Built a little box to go in my kitchen window,, glued moss around the top edges and stuck

in some fall floral picks.. added two little pumpkins to the side that Jeff stole from mel.. .

Think I'll keep the box and just change out the decoration for each season/holiday. 

10/17/11 - went to the dr with my oldest one.  29 weeks here.

Got to see Ms Skyelar on the sonogram and hear the hearbeat.  So sweet!!

Emmie and her mama went to so she could take a picture with the man

that delivered her.  He is the sweetest Dr.  Im glad that Amb is also using him.

Emmie in her little nightgown hanging out with pappy for a few minutes. 

Lots of random photos but wanted to update the blog with pics.  I plan on doing the blog 2 print thing one day so I want to keep it updated. 

Thats it for now,, Have a great week! 



 

Wedding pics soon ..

October 1st came quickly and the wedding was just beautiful.  The weather was perfect and the bride was gorgeous.  Hoping to have wedding pics really soon but I just had to share this picture of my beautiful little granddaughter taken on Aunt Bam Bam's wedding day. 


  Emmerson Leigh - 12 days old - and she has already stolen all of our hearts.  Especially Pappy's.  Thank you God for this sweet little blessing. 

Hope everyone has a great week!

Wedding prep - take 1

Here is a just a bit of what we've been working on.  And in our true fashion we have waited until its getting very close to actually get our butts in gear and get busy.  But thats okay, thats how we roll and we get it done.  

This is two of the columns (unfinished) that will be sitting by the arch with ferns on them. 

They are gonna be painted white and maybe distressed a little, not sure about that yet. 

Some bags for the bridesmaids that will have a few goodies in it.  We bought the

bags at Hobby Lobby and then cut out the letter and used heat & bond to attach. 

and bouteniers for the groomsmen and ushers and the Dad. 

Not professionally done but we're happy with them.  

And another view,, I'm thinking maybe it needs just a touch of ribbon at the base

or something??

And this one,, is the maid of honor , and is getting ready to deliver

any day now.  She's been at 1cm for 2 weeks,, the Dr has a tentative date set for

induction if nothing happens between now and then.  We'll have a better game plan next

Tuesday when she goes back.   (I think I've taken her picture in the elevator every time I've gone to the

dr with her and I think she has said something like "really mama??" every time.. LOL  

Amberly (and Skyelar) - almost 20 weeks.  I need to get the elevator

pic on her next visit.  She has had the easiest pregnancy.  NO morning sickness at all. 

Which is a blessing because she is also in nursing school. 

stay tuned for a post on the kitchen island Jeff is in the middle of building.

Friday and Post #1 wedding sign

Linking up with Becca at Blue Cricket Design


I've finally gotten around to starting on the  signs for Amb's wedding.  I only have 1 done but I've got 2 more printed out and ready to do when I get the boards painted.   I think this is a 1x6 .. and about 22-24inches long.  I sanded the board, primed and then lightly sanded again and then painted with white paint.  I printed the words off and rubbed the back of each letter with pencil and then transferred to the board by tracing over it all.  After that I used my black paint pen to fill it all in.  Its not perfect by any means but Im OK with how it looks.  This will be one of the signs used to point the guests around to the right spot.  The wedding will be at Roosevelt State Park and I think its going to be really pretty.  

Stay tuned,, post #2 coming next,, Little girl #1 birthday shirt, tutu and matching bow.
