Over the summer my sister-in-law asked if I would be able to make a Baby Announcement Door Hanger for her daughter, my niece, to put on her door at the hospital. She sent me an image of what she was wanting and I said sure I can do that. Ha!

Fast forward to early December and I was still working out the process in my head with an approaching due date of December 26th if memory serves. I finally went out and started getting all the craft stuffs I figured I would need and then realized that I was going to have to paint this thing myself. So I can't draw at all and my hand is so not steady enough to be painting......but I decided to give it a try.
It took me a little bit but after about about a week I had finished the darn thing and it didn't look all that bad.

The first image with Olivia is the one I was attempting to duplicate sorta kinda.
Audrey Anne is the one that I actually made. Hand painted by me....woohoo!

I am happy to say that Audrey Anne was born yesterday afternoon. Congrats Peyton and Michael!

Idea/image I was attempting to replicate somewhat.

Grinch Shirts I made for my Family Christmas Karaoke Extravaganza were a definite hit.

Gave them 3 options to choose from although the only one that should have been requested is the one in glitter vinyl. Ha!

Thanks everyone for a great night!

I purchased this awesome orange vinyl chair a few years ago because....well the pink one was out of stock. Now I tired of the orange plus it has paint and ink and scratches on it so I found this paint to would make all things new again. Kinda! So my before pic and after pic as well as the magic maker. Not too bad for a $4 can of paint.

Another sound wave print I made. I took the video that was taken during the first sonogram and pulled out the audio and isolated the heartbeat to make the sound wave.

A couple of months ago my super awesome cousin Carla sent me a print idea that I hadn't seen before. Not long after that, I realized that I would have to come up with a gift idea. Since his nephew is a musician this new print idea was perfect!

It's the actual soundwave image of their wedding song along with the appropriate wedding information printed on white canvas and beautifully framed. (Cory picked out the frame)

This is such a great idea and pretty much anything that I can extract a sound file from can be used to create the soundwave image. Awesome!

By the smile on his face, I would say that my brother likes his new t-shirt I made for him. Just my opinion. 😂😂😂😂

My latest product/service review from Etsy and she also included a photo of her wreath. I never get tired of reading these!

I decorated these large wooden letters with scrapbook paper, glitter, paint and ribbon. I believe the letters are 13" tall or pretty close to that number. They are for a co-workers granddaughter.

I forgot to take a side view pic but each letter is outlined with gold glitter as well.

Lots and lots and lots of glitter! I have problem but I'm good with it for now. Cory on the other hand could probably do with a little less.

Thanks Cathy!

Awesome t-shirt I just made for Cory. I had seen one similar advertised for the holidays and decided I could make it myself. So I managed to come up with a design and layout that I liked and bam!
Buffalo Bill's Body Lotion!

Another project I completed recently for my mom. Double Cross String Art. I haven't done this in years. I like the way it came out.....eventually.
I also didn't want to have it just on a plain wood background so I added a piece of burlap to make it stand out a bit more.

The building I work in had a Mardi Gras Shoe Box Float Decorating Contest. Well....I decided at the last minute (last Friday) to make a float.

I very rarely do things simple and decided to do a Wizard of Oz Theme.

After 2 very long days working until 1:30 a.m. Monday morning this is what I was able to throw together with stuff laying around the house. I pretty much made everything.

Found out today that I actually won! Woohoo!!!!!!
The last photo is from the contest.
