having fun with photos!!




 This week I had some fun decorating my bathroom.  




First I took some pictures of the new shower curtain that I got at Kohl's.    Here are some samples of the pictures that I took.  I had them made into 8x10's (2.49 each at Target)  




Then, I added some embellishments, and a verse stamp.  (from one of my FAVORITE stamp companies: Our Daily Bread) for each of them to add a little inspiration for my morning routine!  Popped them in a refurbished frame, and ta'da!! Some great matching art for the bathroom!!

A few weeks ago, I posted about my creative adventure, doing the play at church with my son Tony.  These are the super cute concession-favors that my mom and I made. With the theme of the play I thought it appropriate that I made a spider, sheep, pig and duck!  We created them with punches, fun size candy bars and a bit of creativity!!

Jeremiah 29:11-13 NIV
11 For I know the plans (white) I have for you,” 
Declares the LORD,  (purple)
“Plans to prosper (blue) you and not to 
harm (black) you, 
Plans to give you hope (green) and a future. 
12 Then you will call on me and 
come and pray (light blue)
To me, and I will listen to you. 
13 You will seek (clear) me and find me when 
You seek me with all your heart. (red)

This week has been a bit of a new "creative adventure" with my son in the church production of "Charolette's Web" I got to help with the costumes, concessions, and the stage mom (getting the kids back stage to keep on track of what was going on)  It was a great time, as I have not been in a play since college-- which was quite a long time ago!!  It was great fun making the little animals on the poodle skirts (which there was only one poodle)  the others were cats, pigs, and lambs!!  there will be more fun and crafty things to come soon!! 

Happy crafting!!

welcome to my crafty blog!!

Wow, I have never considered myself a writer, but after I saw a blog from a friend of mine, and she posted about how you don't have to be a good writer to write, I thought.... What the heck!!!
       I am a paper crafter and jewlery maker.  After all the things that have happend in my life, I have decided to devote it to what I love,  God, family, and creativity.  (hense my motto.. "where spirit and creativity collide") 
       My goal with this blog is to try to inspire you with some of the creative things that I have done, and maybe, just maybe, you will recreate it yourself!
