Valentines

Is it too late to post these? I honestly dont care because I love how they turned out!! For 3 years now my daughter and I have done her Valentines together, and of course I always include her photo in them! This was fun! We even kept the outfit on to get more shots, which of course she had a blast doing. Being in front of the camera is her thing!

And with my oldest, I always find something that he and I can do together, this year it was scratch off tickets. All those cool tutorials you see on Pinterest? Ya, it so not as easy as they make them seem. It took about 3 hours total, coat after coat of paint, and drying with a hairdryer in between. They did turn out cool though and he really enjoyed them. I used THIS tutorial from Oh the lovely things. Love this blog by the way!!!!!!

Happy Happy New Year!!!!!! It's been awhile

Hello to all my long lost blog friends!!!! Boy has it been awhile! I went a long time without a new blog post. Mostly I just didn't have the time, and the demand of being mom was alot higher on the list. But I'm making it one of my MANY goals (not resolution) to blog more and along with many of my other 2012 goals, they go hand in hand. I will share some of my other ones as they come to be more of a reality than a distant cry of hope. I'm hoping that I can sit and type up a post after the kids are off to bed. It seems like lately after they are sleeping and my horrible need to have *me* time, I find myself on Pinterest, pinning....pinning....pinning. It's not new to me, but it never gets old, always something fun to look at and be inspired by. I'm hoping to do a fun weekly Pinterest Party Post, I pick one thing on my ever growing diy or crafty board, and post it and we can have a link party and you post what you've made!! I don't know if this is a new concept or not, but it sounds fun. (I've sorta dropped off all things blog related!)

Well that's it for now... Be sure to follow me Pinterest, the link to mine is on the top linky bar thingy. And I will leave you all with some photo's of things I made last year, (just as recent as 3 weeks ago!!!!) all from ideas on Pinterest!! So many more, but no reason to bore you:)
