Baby Gifts

 Here are some more baby gifts! I made two blue boxes, they were originally planters that I got at simply splendid at that sale when they moved, $1.50 I think.  Anyway, I drilled holes on the sides and strung rope through on each side.

 I then cut some vinyl to say."All boy" and put in my gifts. Super easy!

 One of my cute friends Ali is having a little girl and I just couldn't stop making some decorations for her nursery. Her colors purple and green and so I made her a quote, a chandelier and a frame with a another quote in it. On top of the frame there is a little headband. It is fun to make little girl stuff to!

 This last little find from DI for a $1.50 and its one of those expensive looking metal/tin squares that I love to decorate with. This one had scratches and dents on it, and the prices on the back was originally $15.00.

 A fresh coat of paint and a little bit of glaze with some roughing up and its got a new life for a great price to match my existing decor!

It was a very busy week! Time for a break!

Cupboard Door Shelves

 Before I start explaining these I have to say that this project has been my favorite and most liberating thing I have made so far! (If that makes any sense.) My mom bought these cupboard doors at the habitat restore for $1 a piece! I am already thinking all these other projects to do with more...

I can not thank my sweet husband enough for buying my lovely Dremmel tool, I went crazy on this one. I learned how to use and loved it. I am starting to take over his tools now, I want to learn  how to do everything. I drilled holes for the knobs or hooks to go in then I painted them in two different colors  these were mostly baby gifts; the pale blue and avocado green.

 Then I found the cutest knobs and hooks at hobby lobby for 50% off! I loved mixing the knobs which I think i will do more of next time.

Of course I had to glaze them!  My new obsession when it comes to painting and I think they turned out so cute! I think I might make a ton more and sell them! It was so hard to part with them! Love, love!

Snow...finally!

 The boys check outside everyday to see if there is enough snow to play and make a snowman. Finally this morning they talked me into heading outside! ( I do not like the cold and have enjoyed the lack of snow.) They had a blast with what little snow they did have.

 Stratton named him "Jack", he must have gotten that from a Christmas show he just watched.

 He was so excited to make his first "snow angel" that he could remember making.

 They clapped for themselves when "jack" was all done, so cute!

 Snow dogs, don't ask...

Then they headed inside to cook some food. Long day!

Random Pictures

 With the warm weather we finally made it outside once we were all better! So here are some random fun pictures.

As of lately...

 I got a babycake maker and was finally able to try a recipe i got off of Pinterest for these yummy Peppermint cupcakes.  These are my first cupcakes from scratch that worked! 

 This is my $3 dollar frame from the habitat restore, which if you remember I did one for Taylor's room also.  I am slowly going to redo my room in a rustic/chic/romantic look  and its really hard to tell from the lighting but the quote says, "Loved you yesterday, you you still, always have, always will."

Our Sick Christmas Holiday!

 The only good Christmas Picture of the three of us! Where do I even begin! Last Monday we started with Stratton getting the flu then Strattton getting Croup and having to take him to the ER the next night because he couldn't breath.  Then the next day Easton had the flu for the next few days. All the mean time Jared and I were doing ok until Christmas came then Jared got the flu really bad, hence why he is not in the the pictures. On Christmas Day I took the boys up to my parent's house for a couple to get out of the house because they were starting to feel a little better and Jared was way too sick to celebrate. Then that night Easton caught the Croup and I had to take him to the After-hours clinic to get a steroid shot.  Now I have caught a cold from the boys. Anyway, not the Christmas I had pictured but we were all together! 

 Bob had a funny elf shirt and hat on that the boys loved!

 Kandace and Glen in the Santa hats!

 The one smile I got that night! Poor little guy...

 Cute Sisies..

 Us sisters get to go see "Wicked"! So excited!

Bob got them way too many gifts as usually, he is his own santa!

The kitchen was a hit!

Easton was trying to wake up Stratton telling him that Santa came.  Stratton didn't budge, he was so tired from being sick.

They got their," Captain Jack Sparrow guns" they call them

Sorry to all those who we missed seeing this year! We love you and hope to see you soon when we are all better! Thank you for your prayers.
