Kinkaid Wedding - November 2008

This is a little collage I created using Picasa 3 to showcase some of the better pics I took from the first wedding I planned and organized. (Unfortunately I didn't get the decor pics taken pre-reception, so there's all kinds of "party fodder" in them, but you get the idea!) Let me know what you think!



Project 268!!


I'm starting a new project that I read about over at Tidy Mom.  She's doing something called the 365 Project, she takes a picture a day, everyday.  Well, since I just learned about this (and started) last week, I'm calling mine Project 268.  I'm pretty excited about it.  This is my first pic taken last week.  I think I'm most looking forward to compiling them at the end of each month to see what randomness I've come up with, I tend to be a bit on the random side... should be interesting!  Stay tuned as I post bits and pieces from this project.

The Cricut!

I love my new cricut!  It's the best Valentine's Day gift I have EVER gotten.  Thank you boyfriend! 

I had this old canvas that I had mod podged a bunch of black and white magazine cut-outs onto.  It had just been wasting away, waiting for something fun to happen to it and BAM!  Lightbulb!  I cut a flower out of contact paper, then used it as a stencil.  I had to peel all those little pieces off my matt and put them on the canvas, but it was worth it!  After the paint from the flower dried, I cut out a bird and painted it too.  I think it turned out really wonderful.  What do you think?

Baby Gage and Chandaliers

This one is my latest, very latest, finished it last night to be exact. The picture isn't the best, but you get the idea. It has Gage's monogram and his parents, Jordie and Jamie's, cattle brands. They had the idea for the star, I just put it on the canvas.

These two go together to make a chandalier.





Stepping Stools for little feet!!

I did these for a friend with lots of nieces and nephews. I added dates of birth and initials on the sides, each one made to match their rooms or their tastes (camo or sports for example).
