Black and White Challenge

This week's challenge at the Paper Mama is black and white.  This will be my first time entering.  Everyone's pictures look so good! I know I already posted this picture, but it was in color.  With some editing from picnik I made it black and white and I love it! Thanks!

Owl Swap

I just finished my second swap on Craftster and it was so much fun! The this for this swap was
 Owl's.  Here is what I made for my partner.  Up first a little owl stuffie. 







Next is a little bag with matching needle book.

The last is my favorite, a matching set of embroidered owl napkins.  They were a lot of work but I loved them and I hope my swap partner does also!

And here is a picture of the whole package right before I shipped!

Vacation Time

We took our 2nd annual trip to Rehoboth Beach, DE this week.  I must say I am in love.  It's a beautiful place to stay.

We had fun playing in the sand, shopping (tax free) and hanging out at the bay.  We are so lucky that my step brother has a condo there and graciously lets us stay.  Here are some pics of our wonderful vacation. 

We had so much fun and can't wait to go back next year. 

Hair Week!

So over at I Am Momma Hear Me Roar its hair week and I love it! I tried the Twist and Pin  today and its really cute! It only took five minutes and was super easy.  Now mine looked no where near as good as theirs but its a great summer do.  I tried to get a good picture but.....its really hard to get a good picture of the back or your head!

Happy Wednesday!

We had a busy weekend and a busy start of the week.  We had a birthday party with one Tayson's best buddies.  Isn't it fun trying to get two, 2 year old boys in a picture! 

I have been crafting away for my swap and working on the amazing online embroidery class that Wild Olive is hosting.  It is so much fun I will post a few pics soon! This is the craft mess that I made yesterday trying to finish my swap up! I am having a blast swapping and I can't wait to start another swap!

 This is just a cute picture of Tayson's dinner one night.  He loved the sweet potato tots!

Best Husband Ever

So when I said my husband is wonderful I meant it.  He's a truck driver and isn't home as much as he'd like.  He came home today and gave me a card that he made for me last night when he was in the truck. I love it, it's perfect and better then anything he could have bought me! Would everyone like to see it! 

This is the front

He drew Peach with a sharpie from a picture on his phone! Hes so great! Oh and just cause he's so cute heres my kiddo....

Happy Weekend Everyone!
