Floral Wreaths

Floral Wreaths are up there in the popularity contest right now along with antlers! Here are some alphabet Wreaths to give to your loved ones. 

the Kitschy Kitchen Artwork

My mother-in-law gave me these frames because they match my kitchen perfectly! But what to put in it. Yes, i could have done pretty fruit and vegetables. Then I got to thinking... "what makes the kitchen function? What could the kitchen NOT live without?"... and I thought of the utensils that don't get near enough credit for what work they do. ;)

BON APPETIT!

Thanks A Bunch!

Where the internet is taking over most ways of communication... I believe the internet cannot replace the Thank You card. Better yet, making your own Thank You card is even better, showing the recipient you truly are grateful for them!

An easy ombré watercolor look is easy to create. Make sure to take the edges tight so there is no bleeding making for a clean looking card. 

THANK YOU for reading my blog! 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

This time of year always brings on a renewed sense of wanting to do the 'undone', finish the 'unfinished' and find the 'unfound'... this year instead of being focused on all the 'uns' in my life, I am going to focus on all the blessings and gifts the Lord has given me AND use those gifts for his glory. This change in focus will allow for less feeling of stress and more feeling of an enriched life when I use what the Lord has given me and focus on those unending blessings! 

I hope all of you have a Blessed New Year!

Painted NAME Designs

The whole sign craze is going strong. So I thought why not do a watercolor Name sign for my nieces!
 The "Marianne" sign is more simple with the letters, bringing in some fun with a floral design...

The "Fiona" sign, I went with a patchwork design for each letter because my nieces bedspread is a country patchwork design.

It's a fun decoration for the wall and it's a nice alternative to the wood designs that could be too rustic for some rooms. 

Put it in a frame and hang it on your wall.

It is as easy as that!

Interested... give me a ring ;)

Friendly Fruit!

Why not tell a friend what they mean to you with some friendly fruit! 

More on the way... 

Family name Sign

My husband and I were going to his cousins wedding and I got a little creative for their gift. Using a pencil, stencils (made out of printed letters), outdoor paint and a natural wood stain we had a great gift! 

My favourite part was that the wood was from my husband (and his cousins) great aunts property on Lopez Island, WA. It is a piece of history because that is where the family immigrated to from Scottland and it is the last piece of land still in the family past down from three generations.

My husband and I treasure that land for the memories it has given us... we started going there on day trips when we were dating and have gone back every year for camping trips after getting married. Even our oldest boy as had the camping experience there! What get memories! Hopefully are youngest can enjoy it next year with us. :) 

The GREATEST part was they loved it!
