Block party

I will be posting tomorrow about all the blocks I have been making! I am excited to show you all my blocks.

Mom's Birthday Gift!

Today is my mommas 49th birthday!!! I called her bright and early....ok more like 9:00 when I rolled out of bed to wish her a Happy Birthday!! She was happy to hear from me. I told her that we were all coming over and bringing supper and cake. After I got off the phone I thought shoot I don't have a gift for her yet :S

I got up and went to the craft room and started searching for what I could make for her. Then I remembered a pin from pinterest that I had seen on how to make a fun painting. So I got all the stuff and started.

You need a canvas (Any size will work) Paint in as many colors as you want, a paper plate, round sponge brushes, Black or brown paint pen that is used to draw branches, and spray paint in any color for your background color.

Once you got all your supplies ready then get started. I chose not to paint my background because it is going in a white room. I just drew random branches on the page. (I can not believe how great of an artist I am)

Then after you draw in your branches start adding the color dots! You can add as many or as few as you like just keep going until it looks just right. I am very happy how it turned out!!

So after supper we opened gifts and my mom was very happy to see the painting. She is planning on painting the living room in the upcoming weeks so she was excited to have some new artwork to hang on the wall.

I am so glad Mom had a great birthday. Thanks for taking the time to stop by and check out my blog!!

What I have been doing.

I have been working like a busy bee lately. I had a lot of block orders because I ran a sale on them until the day after Thanksgiving. I finished the last of them up this morning at like 2 a.m. I then went to bed and woke up to 3 more orders. I am glad to be done with all block orders now.

I can now move on to finishing up the last few Christmas gifts that I need to make. I will be posting some more pictures and stuff coming up. I swear I will post more because I have been slacking.

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!
