Bracelets and Books

I used the silhouette of the boys for a few different things. I have one finished with a picture. It's a scrabble tile bracelet. I love the vintage look. Grays, browns, lace, all that together made this cute little keepsake.

This other photo is another book I finished. I made this one for myself. I had a old hard bound book from 1915 that I adored. It was in very bad shape and falling apart. With a little mod podge I glued it back together. I am going to continue to add photos of my boys on a few pages inside.

Wall hangings, jewelry

I just love the look of silhouettes. Especially of my own boys. I got these done just in time for Mother's Day. I am doing a couple things with them that I will try to post later. I got the backgrounds and tutorial on the silhouette from www.thecraftingchicks.com I made some changes as I always do and tadaa.

I used them!

I did 3 decorative displays for my pictures from my last post. I have a whole shed of barn wood right outside my house. I put it to good use.
This one I love. What a great way to mount a photo without having to find the perfect frame. I Mod Podged my photo to this old book. Added a few buttons and ribbons. I am thinking Mother's Day gifts with my boys pictures on them.
{All three are available for sale at the Bazaar in town.}

New Photos






I recently took these photos at my house. I was wanting something different to do for the bazaar. Hopefully I will get enough time to post what I do with them.

Good Intentions.

I have really done a horrible job at updating my blog in the last 9 months. I want to keep it up to date with al the fun things going on and all the fun things I have been making. If I only could upload pics from my phone.
Here I sit at wrestling practice with the boys with good intentions to stay up to date.
