Mother Daughter Night!

My son's best friend and her Mom love to craft so I couldn't wait to play in the paint with them tonight!  We made a jewelry board to take back to college and a Valentine door hanger.

 

A very high tech treatment to dry paint quickly! 

Dabbing on a bit of gold paint for the stem.

And the finished products!  Love, love Valentine pot and all of the great colors!  And who doesn't love cream and black stripes??  Such a fun night!

Crafting With The Cousins!

We had a lovely Christmas and New Year's and hope you did, too.  We went to see cousins and others came to see us.  It was cold, rainy and miserable outside, so the guys made a huge fire in the fireplace and watched football games all day.  The chicks wanted to craft with Aunt Eileen and it was a great way to visit!

The girls chose to make jewelry board hangers.

 and we moms made new door hangers for them to take back to Houston.  You can also see the puzzle we all worked on while together in the background...classic cereal boxes!

Here's the gang...wish it was better quality!  Sure love these Teagles!

Artie Partie with the Smartie Pants!

What could be more fun than getting to hang out with eight young ladies who are about to start their senior year in high school for an evening of crafting, music and munchies?!  I have known most of these girls since they were tadpoles and it was so nice to spend time with them and see what lovely young women they have become...all while creating jewelry organizers for their bedrooms and dorm rooms (yes...some are already thinking about dorm decor!) and monogrammed make up brush holders.  

For this slumber Artie Partie, we set up in the carport on a cool summer night, brought out the lamps and bowels full of m&m's and got to work!  Oh, and these girls are literally smartie pants...brainiacs is more like it! 

 There's something very pleasing about your personal monogrammed clothing and decor!

 Decisions, decisions...what kind of rhinestones to put on the board.

It's always so much fun to see what designs the girls chose to do...always reflective of their personalities, decor and their wonderful senses of humor! 

From Lilly Pulitzer to jagged and edgy, they all had a great time creating their masterpieces at the Artie (Slumber) Partie!

Crafting With My Cuties!

I just finished a craft class for 2 days with these four young lovelies I have known since they were tiny.  They asked to make things for their bedrooms that they would hang on their walls, so here's what we came up with... 

 They really wanted to do something with scripture and I suggested starting with a abstract base and adding the scripture over it.  They did a great job!

Below are the completed jewelry organizers...

and their wonderful plastic bowls...so pretty.

 Picking out beads for necklaces is like shopping at the candy store!
