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.
