A Little Bit of Bling

Vinyl for the new house.

Hi Everyone!

My craft room is still packed away. :(

I'm having a hard time getting to all of my paper, glue, tape, etc.- and it makes me a little sad.

I've been feeling kind of grumpy lately and I realized the other night that it's because I haven't made anything or done anything crafty in weeks!

So....

Since I can't get to my paper, I decided to do some vinyl signs for my new house!

I love my kitchen.

It has a great floor plan and it feels like it was made just for us!

My Daughter Avery thought we needed this.

LOL!

The other room in my house that I love is my Laundry Room.

I've never lived in a house that had a separate laundry room. In fact, the last house I lived in- for 12 years- had the washer and dryer in the kitchen/dining room.

So....

It's nothing fancy, but I love it!

This is what I've been up to.

April {Baby} Showers

Hi Everyone! Happy Monday!

This weekend I went to a baby shower for my sweet friend Sarah.

My craft room has been out of commission and packed up for the last few weeks due to our move, but I was able to make a quick card without having to open too many boxes!

I used some Baby Boy Crinkle Ribbon and inked the edges a bit.
I also added a vintage estate button to the center of my bow.
The Sailboat Blue Skittles are made by Carri from DoubleClick AKA: Abusybee

This baby shower card would work for our current 3 Girl JAM challenge: April Showers

You can link up your own projects HERE.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

Winner Announced!

Hi Everyone!

I'm back from vacation! Arizona is very different from Iowa this time of year!

I left on March 8th and it was 30 degrees. We drove to Colorado to see my sister and then caught a plane to Arizona to visit my Mom. While we were there it got up to 90+ degrees.

I also got to meet my friend Carri from DoubleClick AKA Abusybee

It's so nice to meet fellow crafty bloggers and friends!

Came back home to Iowa a few days ago, got a couple inches of snow, and today it was about 30 degrees again!

Anyway-- enough of my ramblings.

The winner of the St Patty's Day Hop is:

The Hippo is an image from the Silhouette Store

I used a The Alley Way Stamps sentiment and then tied it all up in some 3 Girl JAM Sunflower Crinkle Ribbon.
