**This post has been in draft mode for over month. Before I get around to publishing it I think of another project I want to work on and I have to wait until it's complete before I can blog about it.**
For Christmas I made my father-in-law a family tree. Each of his children and their spouses, along with all of his grandchildren and great-grandchildren have a photo magnet on the family tree. That way as new people join our family we can add them to the tree. There are currently 31 magnets on the tree.
Now that I have a big, beautiful, bright garden window in my kitchen I needed some artwork to display in it. Enter these darling silhouettes of my boys. (Doesn't Austin kind of look like a turtle?)
I can across this seller on Etsy who sells the cutest bobbypins. I thought about buying some from her and then I thought, "I can do that". After a couple trips to Joann and Michaels to pick out some embellishments and an hour or so of gluing...
I really like magazine files, so when my Aunt Cheryll brought over some for my brother to use back when he was living with us I was excited when he moved out and didn't want them. The only thing I didn't like about them was that they didn't match the color scheme in the office. With some spray paint and a roll of Contact paper, they are better than ever!

Years ago as a Christmas present from a good friend I received a wonderful scarf. I love it and I have always wanted one to match every outfit. So, my Aunt Shelley taught me to knit and I made another one. See?
If you want to get together some time and learn to knit or crochet or just share ideas for craft projects, call me. I love to get crafty!
