Organization...or Something.

Seeing how our little family is planning on making a big move soon (across the state wooohooo!), I've been making a conscious effort to do is to get everything organized for packing.  This way settling in to the new place will be easier and (hopefully) a nice smooth transition.
That being said - ta da!


   
Project #28 - Organization Board
 I used old wine corks cut up for the cork board, some old knobs to hang random things that I see fit at that time, and chalkboard paint to make little lists.  I put it all on a board from a wine crate that I had laying around, glued it all up, added a cute twine bow for pizazz, and there you have it! 
Yay!
Now I just need to use it and get things in their proper place! 

Wish me luck......

Re-Do Times Two.

Before- Old Lady Linen Dress


Fabulous After Dress! - Project #27 (And Wally looking very handsome.)
This is the re-do part one - a dress that I have of course had laying around forever, that a few changes made it a completely new dress!  It came out great.  And of course Wally looks better than ever.

And the second re-do was just a little spray paint project.  But sometimes it can make a world difference.
Before Basket
After - Shaker Basket!
Now I love it.  Nothing a few coats of spray paint can't fix.

Fell in Love on a Park Bench.

Park Bench Lovers by BreeDentice
This epitomizes spring for me.  People strolling (and smooching) in the warm spring nights.  I love it and probably need it, especially when it starts to get cold again so I can remember what is to come just by looking down at my hand.  Bree Dentice's jewelry is way too cute.  I adore this ring.

Better than Never.

Project #26 - Wall Hanging
This particular wall hanging is made out of flattened toilet paper rolls.  It took a little while to save them up, but now they are recycled into a wonderful floral thingy to hang above our bed!  I flattened them, arranged them, glued them, and spray painted them - and we have this!  
Close - Up
I know this is a day late, but Alex and I had a very fun-filled and busy week/weekend.  We visited some good friends before their big move to the big city, and enjoyed a weekend of family and lovely spring weather.  I just love spring.  And I suppose it's almost summer technically!?  Yay, I love warm weather!  Hope your weekend was as good as mine.

Obligatory Birthday & Sparkler Drink!

This is why I was not crafting.  Such fun.

The Bog Jog - One of Wally's Favorite Trails.
So really this is a post about how much fun photoshop is!  Look what I can do!

My Bears
I can make anything look awesome and antiquey..... is that a word?  I like it.

The bigger the stick, the better.
Hooray for photoshop!! 

P.S.  Thanks Karen for the graduation present!  As you can tell, I love it.
