Say Cheese!

So I have been drooling over all the cute camera bags out there and I am in desperate need of one. My old bag can't hold everything and I seem to taking more and more pictures if that is possible. lol

So chatting with my Mom and I was showing her the cute bags on etsy and mentioned I would make my own bag when she mentioned a purse that we both share. Light went off and off to Pinterest for some tutorials I was sure to find. Now I will not only have a new camera bag but a Prada no less! (shh knock off) And not one but two as my Mom's bag is a different color and she is giving it to me! Thank you Mom!

Now to get to Medford for some foam and fabric to design the insert to put in the bag's.

Happy New Year!

I am promising myself to post something at least once a week on this blog. Thank you to those of you who emailed asking if all was well. It is..it's just been busy! I have been doing a lot of crafting! Making birds nest necklaces, crocheting and crafting with our home school group.

Grace has been crafting right along side of me and I love it! The girl has become quite the crocheter at the age 12 having made 6 scarfs in recent weeks. I started watching our youth pastor's son at the beginning of the school year and needed to move my crafting area out of my room to the dining room in order to fit a crib in the bedroom. Needless to say this is not working. So today I am determined to figure out how to make a functional craft area. But first I wanted to post this Subway Art from my friend Janet over at Today's Fabulous Finds. Printing and hanging mine up today!

Have you seen these?

Do your kids love s'mores? Mine LOVE them..and we tend to make them year round. Well my bloggy friend over at Agape Love invited me to Pinterest and while there looking at all the fun things for summer and since I have camp on my mind I looked up S'mores well I was shocked to see all that came up. Here are just a few of my favorites. Enjoy!

I think we will try some of these this summer. And I will be making my youngest grandson this onesie because he is too little to enjoy one this year.

Book Wreath

I don't know if you have seen these or not but they are becoming quite a hit and expensive to buy! So I sat down one Saturday and made my own! I found this blog and I was off and running with my glue gun! I decided to use a couple of Jeff's old books and was thrilled when I found one one he wrote "X-Man" (for Chrisman) in! Here is my finished project and by the way I LOVE THIS WREATH! It hangs above my desk and I have not tired of it yet. By the way I tucked the xman in where I could always see it. Oh and the reason the cost is high to purchase these is that they are very time consuming but well worth in the end.(from my family blog original post Oct

After following so many other craft blogs over the past few years I decided to create a new blog for that part of me and keep my other blog for my family updates. I hope that many of you will add me to your list and maybe help me get a linky party going. I love all the link parties!

Just a few of the crafts I enjoy:

Photography
Crochet
Paper crafts
Decoupage
Jewelry making
Painting
Drawing
Sewing

Honestly I think I love it all. If you can create it I love doing it. I am the Mom who's dining room table is covered in all sorts of crafts and my kids love it!
