Letters Template

I copied some scraps while scrapbooking and thought maybe someone would be interested. All of the letters are backwards except for "b" (because I screwed up) so they can be printed on the back of whatever paper you would like to use. Yah, I could have spent a lot of time cleaning these up and making them snazzy but aren't ya gonna cut them up anyways? Just save the pic to your puter and print away. I like to print my letters on card stock and then cut out so I can reuse over and over again.

Happy Crafting!

Checkin in

It's been 20 days since I have last shared anything about my life. My how time flies. Turkey Day has come and gone and you know what that means. Christmas crafting. It is so fun with all of the pressure and stress. Yah, I am wierd and it only gets worse as I get older. One wierd fact about myself is at 33 I am scared of the dark. Silly Bloody Mary game has still spooked me.

We went to San Francisco for the afternoon this past weekend. The kiddos were in awe. My little girlie girl is a social bug and her eyes just lit up when she saw so many people.

Went to the Rainforest Cafe. R was in awe and poor K was scared and shaking every time the animals would go off. : (

On a crafting note, I made some cute little family tree ornament and I forgot to take a stinkin pic. Me of all people. :)

Dining room Paint

Here's a crappy picture of how it looked before. (minus the painters tape) I was trying to be thrifty several months ago and use up different cans of leftover paint in my garage. Well, it came out pretty for a sky in a child's room. So in an effort to keep my mind busy yesterday I decided to go and buy some paint so I could eat in a grown-up dining room.


And the after picture...


Never mind the reflection on the wall from my glass table. Peter still needs to attach moulding for me around the rectangles and add some chair railing. I plan on putting black n white photos inside the rectangles. Still not sure if I like the "sky" look so I might fill it in with a shade darker than the wall and go with traditional. Let me know what you think! onecraftymama@sbcglobal.net I plan on painting the chairs black and putting the moulding back down as well. If you look closely you can catch a glimpse of a 1960's lamp. I call it a UFO lamp. I have some ideas brewin' in my head of how to revamp it. If you have any, feel free to spit 'em out at me.

Sewing for my girlie

I have been really down lately so I thought I would do a little sewing to take my mind off of things. I sewed this darned dress all day long. Blech. I don't like it. She loves it. That's all that matters but I really am not going to admit to anyone that I made it...lol. Still have to figure out what kind of shirt to sew for a wierd couch dress. (The material reminds me of a couch. Not sure what I was thinking.

Halloween Fun

Total kid cuteness at its finest.



Good always conquers the bad.






How can a couple pounds of candy turn into
10 lbs after ingested??? Get this stuff outta here!
