So in LOVE!

With this sign that I just finished.  A few months ago I saw this sign on Pinterest and I fell in love with it, so I immediately went and cut the vinyl for it and there it sat haha, I knew in my head how I wanted it to look but it took me a few months to really figure out how I wanted to do it so it looked how it did in my head. So here it is I will walk you through the steps I took to make it. I plan on putting it next to my new Black Chunky Framed cork board that I plan on pinning kids pictures on.
                                                
                                                     I took this sign and ripped the vinyl off

Then I painted it black and then white.

 HA! I didn't take any other pictures until I finished it, But After I painted it white I let it dry and while it was drying I made all the flowers from different black and white fabrics I added some tulle and buttons to give it more texture and variety. After the flowers were made and I let the board sit and dry all night I got out my NEW POWER TOOL!!! I love it (thanks Dad) its a electric hand sander. So I just ran the sander over the board until I got the desired distressed look that I had in mind.  After that I added the vinyl and flowers AND VOILA! I am in love with it. (Click on the link above if you can't read this picture it will show you what it says.)

Christmas Gifts

OK So I can now post what I have been working on for about a week for my dear mom, she is a busy teacher and asked me if I would do these for her ... I of course said I would do them because ... well... I love to craft :) and help my mom. My most favorite part of this project was using my dads electric hand sander... Oh man I am IN LOVE! I used it to distress the edges and it did not disappoint I achieved the best distressed edges ever. OH Yes I will invest in one of those puppies one day :)

 The star on this one will be re done before we give it.The Silver paint wouldn't paint on thick so I thought that the silver glitter spray would cover over that and well it didn't SO old fashioned mod podge and loose glitter it is :)  It's for my cousin :)

 This one is my mom's

 I absolutely adore this one, I LOVE the penguins on the bottom.

I have been working on a few things I have 2 of them finished which I will post tonight and then tomorrow I will post the Christmas presents I made for my mom to give out to her friends at work :) I would post them tonight but I don't want to blow the suprise incase one of her friends saw this before tomorrow.  ANYWAY. The first are my little ladybugs they aren't quite finished yet I have some embelishments I want to add to them but I thought I would share them anyway and then when they are finished I will share them again. :) then second I have a cute christmas stacker that I have spent way to much time deciding what I want them to say but once I figured it out I am quite happy with them. ( did that make sense?)

Button Bracelet = PAIN IN THE TUSHIE

Oh my goodness I saw this Button Bracelet on pinterest and I thought HA I can do that, well I CAN and DID do that but OH my goodness what a pain in the tushie it was it took me about 2-3 hrs to do it and by the end I was close to swearing, E wanted me to do her a black/white/red one after this one but I just couldn't stand the thought of doing another one so I gave this one to her :) SO if you have this pinned on your pinterest board to make just know that it looks easier than it is and you may end up swearing. Don't say I didn't warn you. Here are the pictures of mine.
