My Coasters are featured in a blog!

How cool is this?! This is the first time anyone has featured my items in their blog. They have been featured by myhandmadecrafts. I think I am still in shock lol.

Now, everyone needs to go and check out her blog. And check out my coasters. There are tons of AMAZING shops featured on her blog and I am very grateful to be one of them. I feel like celebrating!

Evolution of Dance

This guy is too funny! My dad sent this video to me a couple weeks ago and I just watched it again and it still cracks me up. Its about this comedian doing all the different dance moves through the past few decades. I'm sure you all have done at least one (if not more) of these moves.

All I have left to say is, watch and let the memories flow!




It kinda makes you wonder who came up with these. Like who thought doing "the sprinkler" was a good idea? Or the "macarena"? I remember listening to that song over and over and over thinking "this is so awesome!"

Freezer Paper! #11

I found this tutorial on how to make a freezer paper shirt. To practice I used a tan canvas tote I had lying around. I used my cricut to cut out my stencils (this was really easy).

My fiance and his friend have this ongoing feud about which superhero is better. Batman or Superman. So I thought I would make them each a shirt stating their opinion. I plan on tackling that tomorrow.

Happy Easter Everyone

Here are some cute photos of my roommate/MOH's 8 week old baby girl Aurora. We were out shopping last week and I saw this dress and knew it would make the cutest Easter dress. And boy was I right!

Isn't she adorable!!

More Coasters

Just finished 3 more sets. These are getting addicting! lol

A set for 2.

 

I love using different colored felt for the bottom. I think it adds a little something extra to them!

Coasters galore!

The last few days I have been doing nothing but making coasters. I figured they would be really easy to make, oh was I wrong! The first few I made had bubbles in them, not good.
Then the next set got a couple fuzzies in them, also not good.
The 3rd time was a charm. They came out perfect!! ---------------->

I decided I would be making these for my girls as part of their Thank You gifts.
I am also making a set for my mom for mothers day. I think for those I will be using photos of my brother and I. (I will post them after I am done)

 What do you guys think? I think they are pretty cool!

This is where I got my inspiration.

Turkey Time

After being cooped up in the house for the last couple days working on invites, I decided Rob and I needed to have a little fun. So we went bowling. Rob and I both used to be pretty good at bowling, and were both on leagues.

That was years ago tho. Today...we stink!

We started off doing ok in the first game. We both broke 100, which isn't too bad. Rob started pulling ahead and it came down to the last frame. The dreaded 10th frame. When I was younger, this frame used to scare the crap out of me. I would get really nervous and mess up.

That was then. Now.... I get turkeys!!! 







Rob even made a joke about me needing to get 3 strikes in a row to beat him. I have only gotten a turkey once in my life before this, so I knew it wasn't going to happen. Until the next thing I know, it happened!

After we were done bowling, there was going to be league bowling. I walked past a guy and he says "nice way to end". Wow.

101 Things in 1,001 days

I have come across this project on a few blogs and I thought, I could do that! Then about 15 minutes into making my list I realized how hard this was going to be. Not just making the list, but executing everything on my list! Here goes nothing!

The Mission: Complete 101 preset tasks in a period of 1001 days.
The Criteria: Tasks must be specific (i.e. no ambiguity in the wording) with a result that is either measurable or clearly defined. Tasks must also be realistic and stretching (i.e. represent some amount of work on your part).

Not familiar with this project? Check out this website.

Water Bottle Labels

I love how personalized water bottles look at weddings. Since our wedding will take place in August, in Ohio, I knew I would have to have water for everyone. All I have done so far is the template, which took a few hours to make. Oh well, it was worth it! They are so freaking cute. I think they are even better than the ones you order online. Next step, ordering waterproof labels from labels by the sheet. I have heard nothing but good things about them.

I couldn't figure out how to post the cat book, so here is what our guest book looks like

While browsing the Coupon Codes Forum on thenest.com, I came across a thread stating that picaboo is offering a free photo book (just pay shipping) for all new customers. I already had our guest book made by Shutterfly, so I decided to make a book about my cats. They are always making us laugh and getting into things!

Fat Man loves the outdoors

Little Man and Fat the day after my roommate got the Little Man

Little Man is not so little anymore. I can't believe how big he has gotten in only 7 months! 

That's a main coon cat for ya.

He is so strange!
