All in a weeks work...

So this has been one busy week for me.  After working for 13 hours on Monday and getting home after 8, I come home to a busted hot water heater with part of my living room collecting the water!  So I flipped the breaker, climbed back there and turned off the water valve.  

Today I decided I would clean the lint from my dryer, so I watched a video and then, took that thing apart and vacuumed some lint out!  Then I went to put the clothes in the dryer, only to realize that my washer is not spinning or agitating.  So I took the front off that thing and still not fixed!

Okay God, I think I am ready to get married now.  I prefer someone else to do all this stuff.  I am suppose to be relaxing and crafting today!

A relaxing afternoon of crafting.

After spending time with family, I decided to do some crafting.

I started by taking apart a stool I bought that needs to be redone.  I now need to get the material for it. So I worked on something I had material for.

First I redid a frame to use for planning meals (maybe I will use it):

I also bought this metal board, that had a quote a long time ago.  I was going to put paper on it or something for magnet board.  However, today, I finally decided to do something with it, and I painted it.  However, when I read the quote, I found it funny that it was from Sarah Palin, who I had no idea who she was at the time (that's how old it was).  

My parents anniversary! Happy 32 years!

August 23rd was my parents anniversary!  They have been married for 32 years, what an example they are to others.  Marriage is not easy, but NEVER give up.

Naturally being a Pinterest addict and loving crafts, I wanted to make them a gift.  So here is what I made. 

The left picture has the dates of all the family's birthdays and their wedding day.  It says at the bottom "what a difference a day makes".  What a true statement, those five days where life changing! 

The right picture is a wedding picture of my parents.  I printed on paper and mod podge it to a piece of wood, and then added ribbon.

WOW....It has been long!

 

Wow, it has been a very long time since I last updated my blog!  Since I have last updated a lot has happened.  I have finished my masters and now will be teaching technology applications!  I am very excited!  My brother, Ricky, got married to Amber and I have a niece Kayleigh who is 5 and a niece due at the beginning of December that we are very excited for!

This summer I took time off and did not teach summer school!  It was a great time!!!  I went to California for 10 days with family.  We had a wonderful time as my aunt and uncle showed us the great state of Cali. 

I also spent a lot of time doing crafts!  This is very therapeutic for me and love to do it. I went to yard sales, which I had not been to in forever, in hopes of finding things to do for crafts.  I will be sharing some of my summer crafts below.  I hope you enjoy.  I believe I may make this blog more of what my crafts are, but who knows what I will do.  Hope you enjoy looking as much as I enjoyed creating!  ENJOY!

This was created with crayons this spring, but thought I would share.

Got this cross from Hobby Lobby.  It is one that you can decorate how you want!

My wreath.  I decoupage the crosses with scrapbook paper.

This was a Pinterest project!

My reward jar for work.

My letter M I painted and blinged for my classroom.

These are "attention getters" I created for two co-teachers.  It has a joke to go behind it.

My new bathroom shelf.  I have the smallest bathroom they make, I do believe.

Server or whatever you want to make it.  It is a glass plate and candle stick I got a garage sale for $0.50 each.  I spray painted and glued together.
