O' Silhouette, O' Silhouette

I really love your creations!!

I'm so thankful Kaylan got a Silhouette for Christmas! It is really amazing! I finally have a project I can show you that won't be given away! :)

We each made a Halloween board! You need wood, paint, vinyl, transfer paper, and a Silhouette!



The Silhouette cuts your vinyl into the design you make on the computer. You use the transfer paper to put the vinyl on your wood, and then you paint it!!! It looks something like this in the process.


Then you (impatiently) wait for it to dry and peel off the vinyl!! Voila!!

Sticky note anyone??

Surely this is normal...

Old Photos

I finally just put all my iPhone pictures and videos onto my computer.  500+ of them!  Whoa!  It was kind of fun looking through all those pictures. 

This guy was my main muse.  There's too many fun moments to catch with this little man!

 Remember when he was this little??!  Me either! 

Yikes!  Somebody doesn't know what to do with real food!

 I still have this shirt, but I'm pretty sure he can't fit into his!  We need a new twin outfit!

O' Christmas Tree

Here it is in all its beauty!  And the presents just keep showing up in the mail!!  I did too much online shopping this year! 

Wreath Update

I feel like a mad woman with a zillion wreaths around my apartment right now.  I now have a Christmas one, Halloween one, Valentine's one, St. Patrick's one, and I'm working on an Easter one.  I also plan to make a 4th of July one, a fall/Thanksgiving one, and a summer one.  Whew!!  It's a lot of work, but I just love them! 

Here is the finished Christmas one.

And the St. Patrick's day one.  I actually still plan to put a little something to hang from the middle of them to spice it up a little bit, but I still have to paint and glitter those!

And here's a picture of the Valentine's, St. Patrick's, and Halloween.

Hypothetically speaking, if I were to sell these bad boys, would anyone else be interested?  Kaylan and I have been talking about having a booth in several craft shows, but we haven't nailed down what we would be making.  Of course, every time we make something new, we think we could sell it at a craft show...but seriously, would you even be interested in some holiday rag wreaths if you saw them at a craft show?!  Let us know!!  Your input is much appreciated! :)

Silhouette

Kaylan let me play around on her new Silhouette that she got for Christmas, and it was so fun to make some creations!  I finished what I was working on, but it happens to be a Christmas present; so no pictures for now, but stay tuned for an update!! 

Needless to say, I love the Silhouette, but it has proved to be a bit difficult to work with.  Though the things we are making are turning out super cute, they make it look a lot easier on the videos!  It's been a lot more time consuming than we first thought, but hopefully will be totally worth it in the end! 

Sorry to keep you in suspense with my project, but I'm sure I'll have more to share soon.  I the meantime, head over here to check out what Kaylan is working on!

Pot Roast Dinner

On Sunday Derrick and I invited the McCords over for a lovely family dinner.  I was able to try out my new crock pot that I got on Black Friday for $10!!  Whoooo! :)  And it worked marvelously!  I found a pot roast recipe on Pinterest and gave it a try with some potatoes. 

Here is it cooking. 

And here is our spread before digging in.  Kaylan even made a great gravy! :)

We finished the dinner off with a confetti cake (Derrick's choice in flavor!)  And we were all stuffed!
