Confession

I have a confession I need to make.... I'm crafty. Yes, you read right. I'm crafty and I know it. I usually try and deny it but I have decided that I would LOVE to blog about my constant projects. So, the first step in that process is overcoming the state of denial I'm in. I love crafting away and constantly having some sort of project to work on.  Phew... ok I'm out of denial.

My most recent project was a scrapbook for my grandparents 60th wedding anniversary. And let me tell you... it was a HUGE project that was finally finished at 2:45 a.m. the night before the big party. (Thanks for the help on the finishing touches Mom, Shauna, Amy, Heather, and Michael!) I believe it was a huge success. One of the reasons I have decided that I should share projects - past & present - on my blog is because they are really a part of who I am. While making the giant scrapbook my heart was very full and overwhelmed. I was able to talk/message/email all of my family and realized how truly blessed I am. I felt honored to be a part of my family and very honored to be a part of our family's legacy. So... here is a little peak at one of my favorite pages, the finished project, and my lovely grandparents and husband. 

 With all that being said... you can look forward to many more future posts about projects, ideas, tips and all other sorts of stuff I have to blog about. (This will most definitely help with my bloggers block!)

Spray paint makeovers....

Day # 6 Spray Paint Makeovers

Today I finally got to one of my to-do's that has been a to do for a while. I'm grateful for that feeling of accomplishing something that you really want to do, but never seem to get it done. 
I had a lamp that I wanted to spray paint navy blue to match the awesome lamp shade Amy found for me for on $3.47 (or something like that) Katie, Michael's mom, had sent out a lamp stand when Lara came back to school. I liked it but didn't really know where to put it and whatnot. So, I gave it a makeover. Today I am grateful for the the cuteness factor that can be caused by just a little bit of navy blue spray paint. It turned out pretty cute and I'm now on the prowl for another lamp stand and lamp shade to do this fun little project. I got the idea from the adorable Driscoll family, love them!

Favorite world wide web page...

Today I was introduced to this awesome website called Stumble Upon.com (click here to go to it) my my sister-in-law, Lara. I'm pretty sure it's the coolest website ever. It takes all your interests and such and directs you to websites and pages you may like. Well my favorite I have stumbled upon so far is this little beauty. http://craftgawker.com/popular/favorites/ It is awesome! Full of hours and hours of crafts and ideas for holidays, birthdays, home decor, and more... I've found my first two projects I'm going to begin crafting. So stay tuned for my awesome unveiling  of my first project and how it turns out. OH how I love a good craft!!!
