It's been awhile and soo much has been going on...

Well it looks like the last time I posted was back in November, I am horrible about keeping up with this blog lol. Oh well I promise that is all about to change because I will be super busy doing lots of crafty things for our little bundle of joy!

Bundle of joy at 13 weeks

Well I guess I will play catch up and show you the crafts I have done since my last post...

It is so hard to find cute stocking that don't cost a fortune so I decided I would just make us some.

I made all my girls towel wraps for Christmas. They were a big hit!

One of my BEST friends is getting married. I am so happy for her. She has found such a wonderful man that loves her and her little boy more than anything. She is such a wonderful person and deserves nothing less. Anyway the big bachelorette weekend was in Nashville, TN I was not able to make the trip but I wanted to still help with the goodies.

Personalized tumblers for all the attendees!

Michelle is such a classy lady so we didn't want to do anything too cheesy. So I made this great sash that matched her personality perfect!

The beautiful bride to be!

Well I got to go home a couple weeks ago and spend a fun filled day and night with 3 of my favorite girls!! We had tickets to see Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan in Sanford Stadium. It was probably one of the best concert experiences I have ever been too. I was worried this preggo lady was not going to be able to hang like I used to at concerts but my girls took good care of me! We cooked out in a GREAT shady spot and they let me go up the elevator instead of climbing the million stairs to our nosebleed seats lol. I love them! We had such a great time!! Just like old times! I miss my girls!

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. 

Diaper motorcycle

 Diaper Wreath

Blue Velvet Cupcakes with Diaper Pins

 Blue punch with floating bath toys!

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.
