Teacher Gift Idea

Ally requested this for her teacher.

I thought it was very insightful for a sixth grader!

What we've been up to...

We've been in Seattle for the past week.

Visiting the city and family.

Having fun and making memories.

We had lots of fun but in the end...

Teacher Gifts

It's that time of year...school's almost out

which means time to find that perfect teacher gift.

With all the knick-knacks teachers receive,

why not be different and do something with a little meaning behind it?

This 5 inch x 7 inch block
can be customized with
your child's teacher's name.

This sign never gets old for me...

Each time I make this sign, I play with the design a little.

It never gets old!!!

Wedding Decor

Old windows are great for just about anything.

This window will be used at an upcoming wedding.

The empty panes will have pictures of the happy couple.

Congrats Adrienne & Brad!!!

May you have many years of love and happiness!!!

Happy Monday!

Happy Mother's Day!!!

Even though the one year old has managed to bypass the gate in my office/craft room doorway

and has now knocked over a basket of beads,

I still love my kids and am grateful for them!

Happy Mother's Day!

Giveaway Prize

Thought I would share the finished tile Terri won from the giveaway we did recently.

Age is just a Number

I have a new idol.

She has white hair,

she's kinda short and plump,

she's probably in her 70's

and she uses power tools.

We were driving home the other day

and I noticed a little old lady no younger than 70,

using an electric leaf blower

to blow the dirt off her driveway.

I instantly loved her.

How many grandmotherly women do you know

who are still out doing physical labor?

Makes me want to know her story.

What would you ask her?
