Vote for Margaux!

Disclaimer: she is not running for president... Yet :) just a little modeling/casting call. Honestly... Mommy would like a discounted pair of some of the only shoes she wears well. They aren't cheap!

Projects (Part 2)

Chalkboard

I purchased this picture and frame at goodwill months ago for $2.99.

Spray paint and chalk board paint and now she has a very girly message board. I’m thinking about doing something smaller to hang by our front door and write welcome on it.

Earrings

Scrapbook button brads (purchased cheep cheep on clearance) and jewelry earring posts and clamps. Add Some epoxy and now I have way too many pairs of earrings.

Projects Projects Everywhere (Part 1)

So seeing that we actually had no plans weekend before last, I was able to get some house work done and work on some of the many little projects I have going. Here are a few:

Garden Flag

Since we finished (finally) our landscaping, I have been wanting to make a garden flag for our front entrance. So I picked up this hand towel at the dollar tree for you guessed it $1.

I little iron on hem tape, left over craft felt from a girls night project a few months ago, and some time to hand stitch an “S” on and presto! Monogramed garden flag.

I already have some ideas for making another one for Halloween.

Stepping stone

For Margaux's first birthday Auntie Mo got Margaux a kit to make a stepping stone and she and I finally got around to making it. Pay no attention to how many fingers my child has. We decided to make it more impressionistic. You try making a clean handprint of a one year old.

Now over Labor Day weekend we weren't at home as much and all that house work went to crap! Bummer! More Project posts to come!

Warpaint

Tonight we will be showing our lambs for the last time this year. Margaux loves the sheep. She is absolutely crazy about the "Baaa Baaa's". She loves them and being outside so much that she has mastered the ability to throw a tremendous fit when she is made to come in from outside. She could gather all the walnuts on the ground, which she calls a "ball", all day.

Right now we have a ram and a small buck visiting our ladies in hopes of having award winning lambs again next year.

This is a picture of Margaux and the small buck, "Warpaint".
