Wooden door hangers

I painted both of these. I am not a painter but I'm please with how they turned out



Matching swimsuits



Sweatshirts for me

I bought these sweatshirts for $2 at Walmart.


Burlap hangers



Santa shirts



More wood blocks

This was another use of those wood blocks. Brian nailed them to a piece of wood and I hung it in my classroom

Love plaques

I made three of these to give as Mother's Day gifts and of course I had to make one for me. I used my cricut to make stencils for the letters because I do not like my handwriting.



Craft night at church

I was in charge of craft night at church. Brian cut and helped me paint wood blocks. We made over 30 sets! That night, the ladies created their sets.











Beach hats

I monogrammed these beach hats for my mom's sista's beach trip

Summer outfit for Kaylee

I made these pants for an Easter outfit for Kaylee so I made a short sleeve shirt she could wear this summer. I bought the fabric months ago on the clearance rack at Hancock for $1 a yard. I love making cute outfits for a bargain!

Hand towels

I made 15 of these hand towels for our cheer coach to give to her cheer squad



Kitchen towels

These are bar mop towels from Walmart and I added the grey polka dot trim

Firetruck party

Troy wanted a firetruck party this year and I had so much fun making things for his party. 

I researched how to make firetruck cakes and made it a couple of days early in case I needed a backup plan.  In the picture, you can see lumps, but they really weren't that noticable in person.

All of the food I served had a firetruck theme.  I was pleased with how everything turned out.  I also made matching shirts for he and Kaylee to wear.

I love having a theme and running with it.  I made the invitations, the food labels, the cupcake toppers, the drink labels, and the birthday banner.

The only thing I had a hard time finding was an actual firetruck toy.  I went to several stores before I found one.
