Forget The World Signs

Life is hard and sometimes life is really hard. This sentiment describes my thoughts and feelings for this whole dang year perfectly:

Room Markers

I always hate walking through people's houses to find the bathroom. First door on the left is a bedroom, or I don't know my left from right, or I take a wrong turn and there is no left.... Either way, I wanted to make it clear for any guests:

Thank You

My team works really hard so I wanted to make them something cute for Employee Appreciation Week:

I attached a $5 Starbucks gift card to each one. Love my Silhouette!

Baked Alaska

My grandma used to make this amazing desert that was cake, ice cream, and an amazing meringue top. I decided to give it a shot myself:

My pictures aren't great, but it was delicious!

Color Painting

Our house was the model home in our neighborhood and the builders left several pieces of art behind. Not liking the old landscapes they left behind I decided to utilize the materials and create my own kind of art:

Hubby helped with this one :)

Oh Christmas Tree

I love my Christmas Tree:

Christmas Cookies

I made Christmas cookies and prepared frosting for Christmas eve:

Mama Wright and Katherine were excellent artists! I especially love the cookie in the lower right hand corner that is supposed to be Andrew that Mama Wright made.

Reindeer

I used my silhouette to make this reindeer:

I wish I'd used a colored background or something. He's not my favorite.

First Christmas Ornament

Vinyl is fun to play with, but taking a photo of a clear ornament is tricky stuff:

Heart Shadow Box

It has been a bit since I made this and all of the little hearts have shifted. 

Hubby thinks it looks cool that way, but advice to any who want to try it, use a substantial sticking agent... glue.
