Summer, summer, summertime... summertime

Did you just sing the Will Smith song?  I totally did...  And have been since I started these buckets last night!  "Here it is, the groove, slightly transformed. Just a bit of a break from the norm..."  Ok, I'll stop :)

Snap back to reality (oh man, I'm feeling musical today!) - whipped up these adorable beach buckets last night.  Two different sizes, tons of cute graphics to put on them.  Can add a name if you want it personalized.

Two sizes - the large bucket is $10, the small is $6



GIVEAWAY! Anyone want $15 Funky Money?

I'm getting ready to start on some new projects - hopefully my metal & vinyl will be waiting for me when I get home!  I'm so excited to give metal a try.  I love working with wood, but found metal much easier to work with!

Pretty Purple Princess

There once was a pretty princess who loved purple.  The pretty princess had a splendid aunt who loved her so much!  Her aunt wanted her to be the whirly-ist, twirly-ist princess ever.... you know what that means... TUTU time!  This lucky princess will be getting a purple & lavendar tutu PLUS a bow/headband combo for her birthday.  Sometime I wish I was a princess... or just had an excuse to wear a fun tutu :)

Address Sign

Love this painted sign with initial & house number!

I have to say, I was in shock when I heard that someone (city, I assume) painted the wrong house number on the curb of Mrs. D's house!  HOWEVER, I was super excited that I got to make a sign for her to hang on her porch to let people know the correct number!



Use a Coaster!

Don't you hate when my husband people lay their drink down & forget it, leaving a nasty ring on your table?  Me too!  Coasters solve that problem - unless you're like me & can't have any nice ones lying around because your 1 year old will throw them on the floor breaking them into a million pieces & can't have any flimsy/floppy ones because your 1 year old will chew on them...  If that's the case, coasters also make a great gift :)

These particular coasters were a gift for an awesome teacher! 

They'd be SO cute with an inital on them too. 

These can be made to go with any decor... what a great present!

Stuck On You

You know those cute magnet boards everyone's making out of cookie sheets? 

You know what would look adorable on them? 

SUPER CUTE MAGNETS!

I'm loving these fun magnets AND all the other possiblities for prints, names, initials!

Custom letters

Loving the way this turned out.  I was given a picture of some (super cute)

baby bedding & was asked to make some letters to hang on the wall.

I think the came out so amazing & I'm hoping the mommy-to-be loves

them as much I I do!  What a great gift!
