It has been a while! +baby shower

Well it has been like 4 months since I have posted last. I have been so busy with work that I really haven't had time to do much! I did get a little craft over the past couple months and I wanted to share with you guys. Well my best friend had a little boy in August...

John Thomas Christopher only the cutest little baby boy I know! 
Aunt Krystle couldn't leave out the big sis!! 

With the wedding this summer and Susan's traveling restrictions we did not have time to throw her a shower before the baby arrived so we had it after he got here so everyone could see him and he could enjoy it too. Well if anyone doesn't already know Aunt Krystle LOVES her babies all of them and I can't wait to add some cousins for them to play with :) But anyway I was so excited when baby John arrived and couldn't wait for the shower. Everything came out so cute and I think everyone enjoyed it!

I made this for them to hang in his bedroom. 
(made the same way I do the photo coasters just added ribbon)

his room is done is giraffes so I made him a little tag blanket

Since this was their second child and they had everything they needed we did a diaper shower. I even made the invitations into little diapers.

String Art

I actually did this a while back but am just now getting around to posting. I had a friend move to Mississippi so I thought this would be a great going away gift. Very easy too!

Photo Coasters

This is a project I did at Christmas as a gift. I just love it and did it this time for a friend that was moving away.

What you will need:
Pictures 4x6
white ceramic coasters
Mod Podge
Felt circles
Foam brush
Newspaper

I first you want to measure and cut the pictures to fit the coasters.


Glue the pictures to the coasters with the Mod Podge and let it dry.


Once the pictures are secure onto the coasters you need to do a coat of the Mod Podge on the top. It
doesn't have to be a thick coat but just even. Let this dry completely (at least an hour). This step needs to be repeated 7-10 times. Make sure it is completely dry between each coat.


Once this is complete it needs to dry for at least a day. You can spray a gloss coat (clear gloss spray paint). This will just make sure it is protected and shiny. Make sure to put felt circles on the bottom so they won't scratch any surface they are put on.
