Seek And Destroy!

Meet Bowen and Ruger.....

 AKA.......Seek and Destroy!
If they can seek it, they can destroy it!
 


These Two Cousins are the best of buddies.
They love to get together and just do boy stuff. There is never a dole moment when they are together. Whether it is getting their shoes and jackets on 1st thing in the morning. Determined to go outside even though it is in the middle of winter and 10 degrees outside there is no stopping them. They love riding their bike, talking about shooting the bad guys. Giggling at each others insanity, only the two of them understand. 
The imagination is endless with these two.

  Where else can you find buddies like this?
They are so lucky to have each others.Whats better then being friends?

Being friends and Cousins!
 It don't get any cuter then that!

I cant wait for all of their future adventures. 
(The good, the bad, and the messy)

Love these boy's

Is Spring in the are?

I haven't been able to do anything all day but SNEEZE!
What is up with that?
It is only mid February, and it has been to cold for any thing to bloom, Right? 
Wrong!
I was looking out my back door today and saw this...
What the What?
What are those little black things? Where did they come from? I swear just yesterday I was looking at that branch (for a little project I have in mind) and they were not there.
How does that happen?
I'm not complaining at all I am in LOVE with it.
At least that explains the sneezing, I'm not crazy, or loosing it. ~O.K. I wasn't talking to you!~
Anyway not all a waist of a day...
Bottled 5 Quarts, & 6 Pints of Chicken. Feels good to restock our shelves a little, after a long cold winter.

Valentine Project

Crafting Moment! 

{Hugs & Kisses}
I used my Silhouette Machine for this project. 
 
There is so much you can do with this electronic cutting tool.I am still learning.
 
I had a lot of fun decorating and creating for V-Day this year! These signs are just one of the few many project I have done. 


First I.....

        started with 2~ 6"X12" Boards. 


Painted my base coat (pink of course)

Then I made this stincle with my Silhouette.
I took white contact paper I got at Wal-Mart ( its inexpensive, so you don't feel so bad discarding it at you are done stincleing, and less sticky so it peels off easy) . 
I cut this diamond background out. (#1712)
I hade to do some adjusting to make it fit 6x12.



Using the pink from my base coat, I added and mixed a little white to set off the color just a little.
Then painted over the diamond stencil.


Let it dry, and removed the contact paper.


And got this!
Then back to my Silhouette I desinged my Hug and kiss. (Using "Rowdy Heavy" Font and "Exploding_ Flourish_C00863_ 17986") and cut it out in brown vinyl, and applied it.


I have two sconces in my foyer that will make a perfect home or these signs.
I remember my mom hanging things like this when i was little. (dont ask me how)
I glued these soda can tops on the back.
Cheap!
 Strung my ribbon through. 


And Wha La!




Hers a another version of this I tried.
Happy Crafting!
