Summer Scrapbook Project

12:00 AM | Posted by | | Edit Post
This is one project that I was so excited about starting.
 
Long before the summer ever start, I was buying cute scrapbook paper to fill an album.
 
 
 
The summer is now over.
All the pictures have been printed.

 
And the paper, stickers, glue and what-nots have all been purchased.

 
Now it's finding the time and energy to finish more then just three pages!!!

 
I get that way with scrap booking.
I am really excited to start out and all the creative juices are flowing.
And that lasts for about 3 hours.
Then I'm done.
 
I was recently invited to an all-day scrap booking lock-in.
I don't think I could do it.
 
Have you done an all day scrap booking event?
How do you stay creative with new and interesting pages for that long?
 
I almost considered going just so I would have access to a Cricuit to use.
I need to get started on this again.
 
I'll make sure and share updates on this book as it comes along!
 
Thanks so much for stopping by today!

EDITGarage Sale Finds

12:00 AM | Posted by | | Edit Post
It was such a nice day out this past Thursday,
my mom and I hadn't been to garage sales for awhile
because it had been so dang hot out!
 
We didn't find much
We got out there kind of late
and didn't start until after lunch
 
At the first sale, I actually found a lot of free items
the hubby just started nursing school
and they had lots of t-shirts, sweatshirts and hats from his school
all for free!
I loaded up on that!
But I didn't find much else there.
Other then this cute mushroom tealight holder for $1
I have a little gnome garden out back,
so this will look cute in there.
 
 
The second sale was an estate sale.
I normally don't go to those
because here in town,
they are usually really expensive.
 
This one was not and I was able to find these cute Christmas boxes
for $1.00 each!
Aren't they super cute?
 
I'm not sure what I'll do with them yet.
I could use them as gift baskets
 
Or I can remove the signs
turn them on their side
and do something cute with them like this.
 
At the third and final sale we went to
they still had a ton left
but nothing much that was good.
 
I did find this {kind-of} cute Halloween light
It was $1 and I liked it
so it came home with me.
 
Along with some of little misc items I found,
I spent a grand total of $5.75 today
plus my mom bought me lunch at Panera Bread
so all-in-all, it was a pretty good day!
 
What have you found lately?
If you blog about it, leave the post links in the comments!

Graveside Decoration

12:00 AM | Posted by | | Edit Post
This craft is most definately different them most that I do
Todays craft is for a grave decoration

My dad passed away a little over a year ago
He's buried in our family plot, only about 10 minutes from my mom and I.

We like to go out there alot
to make sure to grave site is cleaned up
and along with my mom and I, my Grandma and aunts 
that also live near by,
his grave is never without decorations.
(He's buried in a small private cemetery where decorations, planted flowers, ect are all allowed.)

I happen to see this wheat figurine-thing at the Goodwill a couple weeks ago.


Not much to look at
but it was $0.79, so I bought it


While my dad was born and raised on the west coast,
he spent over 30 years of his life in Kansas. 


Kansas grows a lot of wheat as is known as
"The Sunflower State"


So this is what I turned this figurine into
with the help of some new ribbon, a sunflower from the Dollar Tree and a glue gun.


I really like how it turned out!


I like that it's very fall looking
and represents his life in Kansas! 

Thanks so much for stopping by today!
Have a great rest of your day!
