Finally...












I have had a WONDERFUL day so far!! I am tackling projects that I have had on my mind for FOREVER!! YEAH. I hope Tom keeps the boys gone for just a few more hours:) I gotta get this out of my system. I love the picture boards that I made with the help of my Dad and his router:) Years and years ago, when there was actually a store called Provo Craft, I bought a bag full of these knobs, just to hold onto for the perfect project. I painted them and cut out some vinyl with my cricut to go on top. LOVE IT! Then, I just bought some cheapo pine frames at Joanns and painted\distressed them. Ribbon was also dirt cheap at COD Wholesale.com. It was 50 yards for $5!!!

This is the view from my bed, so I can see my buddies every night:) I have another board on the other side of the window to balance it out. Just need to get my lil' plugs into the screw holes and it is FINISHED!

Just somethin' I saw in church once







I saw a lady at church with one of these stickin' out of her scriptures...so pretty!! So, Kim said, "Karen, make those for us." Well, that was a year ago. I am so happy I finally got around to making these. They are so easy and pretty when they are done. Kids could do this for a cheap and easy project, too....achievement day girls:) I made 7 of these from one little strand of beads I bought at Joanns for $3. Not bad!

What a great day!







Oh, I was so excited when the day came that my sweetie told me she was graduating from high school! Against all odds:) These pages made me smile! She loves green, so I pieced a bunch together. She is only about 5 ft tall...if even that:) she dreams of owning a BIG green truck. See the lil' rosette?? It is easy peasy with my new die from My Favorite Things. FUN. Yes, I used the cuttlebug...not my wizard. I think the wizard needs a new home. It's time. I'm going to play with the felt some more. I have a project in mind for my bedroom and a big letter B.:)
