Toy Workbench

My dad and Cam did the building on this project, I just gave them a little input about what I wanted. I painted it all and added the vinyl hammers and screwdrivers (thank you cricut!). I love how it turned out, and E hasn't stopped playing with it and all his tools!

Christmas decoration

At our church activity they had extras of these vinyl words, so I decided to make a quick little decoration. I painted the board, put scrapbook paper on, added the word, and then tied some ribbon on. Easy peasy!

Nativity Board

I saw the vinyl for this project on sale on a blog, and I ordered a few sets. She had used it for separate pieces for stocking holders, but I wanted to use it for one big board. I love how they turned out - if I had only ordered a few more!

It was a very quick project - stain the board, rub a candle on the edges, paint the board, sand to distress, put the vinyl on!

Winter Baby Shower

My co-worker and I threw a baby shower for another co-worker. She's having a girl, so we had a pink and silver winter themed shower. It turned out great, and we had a blast putting it together!

I made the invites with a pink snowflake background:

 

The food was delicious! So much yummy stuff! And aren't the little label cards cute?

Drink table with ornaments on the window. Love the silver tree too.

The best cake ever. Swiss chocolate cake.

Last minute we realized that we didn't have anything for Nicole to wear, so I improvised and came up with this really cute snowflake pin.

Christmas Card Holder

I have been on a crafting hiatus, but not by choice. I have so many Christmas-y things I want to do, but E has been sick, I haven't been 100%, work is kicking my butt, and it's time for the annual Christmas program at church and yours truly is the music coordinator. So, I managed to get one teeny project going. I bought this Christmas card holder from pickyourplum.com, and I added the ribbon (exciting I know!) and I covered some clothespins with washi tape from downtowntape.com. I can't wait to fill it up! So, as pitiful as this project is, it makes me smile when I walk by and see the cards.
