Marshmallow art

Afton and I did some marshmallow art one day while it was snowing outside and she had so much fun!!

Mini Memory

I saw this cute idea and figured I'd try it out. Afton chose some cute animal pictures and I went to work. It turned out really cute and it's really little so we can take it with us to church or to dinner or anywhere else.

Bike bag

Afton loves riding her bike and she always wants to bring someone along but there hasn't been anywhere to put them.

Thanks to Grandma Sandy Afton now has the cutest little bike bag. It attaches with two pretty ribbons and has just enough space to hold some water, a treat, and a little friend!

Thanks Grandma!!!!

Painting

Fun with stamp pads

Halloween / Fall Decor

If you know me, you know I don't like Halloween. My metal jack o lanterns and the skeleton face (below) are the creepiest things you'll ever see in my house!
I mainly wanted a picture of my wreaths because soon they will become something else and I know I'll want to recreate them next year! I am also excited about my harvest sign (I made a pumpkin sign as well)!

Afton's Pink Party!

Afton's birthday party was WONDERFUL! I LOVED IT! I decided to have a pink theme to celebrate the fact that I have a little girl. My mom was so proud. I even wore pink!

I was obsessed with planning Afton's party and spent time looking on blogs, wandering craft stores, and working on treats, tags, and decor. I had so much fun and couldn't be happier.

We had her party in Lehi at Wines Park and the weather was beautiful. Her birthday isn't until the 8th of October but due to family complications we had it a couple of weeks early.

Family and friends came to celebrate, eat lunch, talk, laugh, and enjoy each others company! I'm so lucky to have such a wonderful support system!

Thanks to everyone who helped out! Everything was beautiful and delicious! Mom - your cupcakes look like they came out of a magazine and Loni - I ate all of the extra sugar cookies! Whoops! They were so good!

And...did you figure out what the pink paper from the previous post was for? Tags! They turned out so cute!

I love this next picture. Afton had just arrived and was so excited to see everything on the table! The photo after that shows her looking at all of her pink balloons floating above!

Counting Book

I made this little counting book for Afton for Easter.

Thrifty and recycled

Lately I have been excited about reusing something old to make something new. A few of my latest projects actually worked out well. One of my girlfriends gave me a cute frame with clothespins for Christmas and I ended up turning it into a bow holder for Afton's room. I wanted to make something similar for another girlfriend who is having a baby girl. I used an old frame to make this bow holder.

For the next project I wanted something cuter than what I was using to hold my markers, colored pencils, pens, etc. and so I used some old fish food containers. I love how they turned out! I need to make more!

I also wanted to share my latest Thrift Store find! I used to wander the thrift stores with one of my older brothers but I haven't been in years and thought I'd check it out! So glad I did!

I got all of this for 5$! Brand new! Can you believe it? 

Space for Afton

This is Afton's work area! It's set up right by my desk and has a little basket of toys and books underneath for when she tires of coloring!

Eventually she always ends up in my lap at the computer though!

So cute I might wear one!

Keeley was visiting this weekend so we decided to get crafty
and make some hair clips!

Here are a few of our finished clips.

Keeley was having so much fun that in the middle
of our project she turned to me and said, "This is
so exciting!" Cute!

She is adorable and was even more excited when she
was able to take everything home with her.

I better start over so I can have one to wear!

Afton on the other hand wasn't quite as excited! She did keep it in long enough for a photo though.

 

  

Fun with Michelle!

Michelle and I were perusing the aisles (can you call them that?) at the Wood Connection last week and decided we wanted to make a cute and easy Valentine's Day craft.
We were SO excited when we finished and honestly a little surprised at how cute these turned out!
Yeah for us!

 

  

Here are our kiddos spending quality time together!
