Please ignore the horrendous ugly peach walls, we rent.
I originally had covered Ava's name in scrapbook paper, I like it but for some reason one piece of paper was constantly coming up. I decided I was tired of fixing and that I would just paint them light pink and stamp dark pink flowers on it. I actually like it so much better
I picked up these letters at the wood connection in UT last spring and just got around to painting them. I love how they turned out! The only thing I would change would be the color of the "A" I used midnight blue because its what I had on hand and I wish it was a little more navy, but I still love it. And I loved watching my littlest monkey helping me to paint it.
First up I found a post somewhere don't ask me where, on someones blog where they had used the lampshades from an old ceiling fan to make ghosts and we just happened to have some laying around, so my oldest and I made some ghosts.
Two years ago my church did a craft Super Saturday and "BOO" blocks was one of the projects and I didn't sign up for it although I had wanted too. Money was tight and I had spent what I could. Well as we were cleaning up that Saturday there was an extra set of wood and vinyl lettering, they just didn't have any Halloween-y paper, so I purchased it and a set of "JOY" ones too, also minus the paper for a discounted price. It has taken me two years to finally get around to completing it, because A) I procrastinate too much and B) I couldn't find any paper I liked. So here are my completed "BOO" blocks.
Now last year my church also had a super Saturday and they had "Give Thanks" lettering made to go on the back of the "BOO" blocks. You got the vinyl and the paper. Well, I also just completed this project this week as well, the reasoning being that it had to go on the unpainted "BOO" blocks above. Anyways, I love that with one set of blocks you have a decoration for two holidays that just has to be flipped around.
I have actually been crafting quite a bit lately I just haven't been able to share because its mostly present for my sweet sister and well I don't think she reads this blog, but I won't take a chance.
My mom, my sister and myself made some super cute "Happy Birthday" blocks while I was in Utah. Its hard to see, but above the "Y" is a curly wire that holds the Birthday person's photo. I am also going to add something above the "B" to hold balloons. I can't wait to use this for Birthday celebrations at our house! I totally love the bright colorful red and the colorful fun papers that I used. My mom's was done in more of a burgundy and my sis' in blues. I'll upload photos of theirs when they send them to me.
I made these cute blocks recently when I was in Utah visiting my family. I was a little nervous when picking out my colors as everyone else chose to go a little muted with their colors and I had to go bright and bold. I am glad I did because they look so cute in my house.
Here is my Grandma's blocks, this is my aunt Alice, my mom and my Grandma Ann.
