Bio & Headshot

Well Hello there! If you've stumbled your way to this blog WELCOME! I'm a widwestern gal who is darn crafty. I love taking all kinds of pictures,  but taking funny ones of myself are my favourite. I am a t.v. and movie addict who can remeber all kinds of movie history, actors names, dates and trivia, however, I cannot seem to remember where I put my purse, keys and sometimes my children!

A stolen heart

The other day this guy came down stairs looking like this...

This is Brad playing Clark Kent.

Funny because he's using my photo props, and I didn't have to make him!

He realy is my Superman.

My best friend

My soul mate...

the love of my life

Once upon a time ...

on July 17th 1982 he stole my heart

and has held it captive ever since.

 

 

 

 This came from a class I took from Wilna last year. i think in the original her idea was a heart inside the box with the bars on it.

The box is from Hobby Lobby, my dad cut out the top and added the bars for me.It was sitting on my shelf for a year. So, yesterday I decided to make a little Valentine out of it.

The paint is Tim Holtsz worn lipstick crackle paint. I then went over it with some of his aged photo inks that are in the dropper form. I just used it like a stain and washed it over the whole box with a rag and a brush.

I'm still working on Valentines decorations for the house, hope to post over the weekend.

Today I'm taking Jeremy on a mom son Valentines date to see Avatar, it's a surprise that we are going to see it in the fancy movie theatre.

Sunday I'm making my favorite Ina Garten recipe Parmesan chicken and red velvet cupcakes for desert.

What kinds of plans do you have?...

That sounds like a perfect Valentine's Day. I love that your doing something with your son this lovey dovey weekend and that your v-day plans include your whole family. That inspires me to make the whole day full of love for my family, too! I can't wait to see the other decorations you get up. I visited the link you sent me for the filter flowers and can't believe how easy they are to make and how impressive looking they are. I'm definitely going to be whipping some of those up.

Have a great weekend, friend!!
