Feeling Blue This Christmas

Well, feeling the color blue, at least. The holidays aren’t about decorating for my own taste…my man happens to love the color blue.

Wearing My Heart on My….Door

I pinned something similar ages ago, and determined to make it this year. Love how it turned out!!!

Just Coasting Along to My Fifth Project

This was one of the very first craft/diy projects I came across on Pinterest. While it’s been on my mind (and the supplies have been on my shelf) for a LONG time, it took hardly any time at all to actually complete. I love making things for others, and this craft had my step-mom’s name, … Continue reading →

My Third Project, Another Nursery Painting

Couldn’t resist this one. I made it for a friend whose visit I missed out on, so I’m gonna have to mail it to her. I promise that my next project will NOT be another painting! Ha ha Cheers from yet another Pinterest addict….

Here’s my second project, an 8×10 canvas I painted for my one-year old niece, Farah. I’m already planning my next project…a Valentine’s wreath. Stay tuned!
