Grill Master

I love working with crafty things!  I was lucky enough to help pull together & decorate this bucket for the auction at my son's daycare.  The kids (& their parents) donated items & money for this BBQ themed basket.  I pulled it all together & put it into this super fun "Grill Master" bucket!  Bids better be high :)



I'd love to help you personalize your life! 

These buckets also make great gifts!

Bucket prices vary based on size.

Soak Up the Sun!

Hey, did you know I love summer?  No?  Well, where have you been?!?

Super cute sun - decorated with bow $30

(Back is painted, but not decorated. Additional $5 for back to match front)

Can be personalized!

*Garden stake is also available for addition $6*

For a Good Cause

My son's daycare is having a silent auction with donated items and items made by the kids (priceless!). 

I'm donating this metal flower wall sign.  But that doesn't mean you can't have one too ;)

The flower can be in any color with any color dots (or swirls, hearts, etc). 

Can say "Welcome," your last name, your monogram - the possibilities are endless!

Can be used like pictured (hanging with ribbon) or on a garden stake (sold seperately for an additional $6).

Flower (decorated, personalized, with bow) $30

Comes with back painted, but not decorated.  Additional $5 for duplicate decoration on back.

Bathing Beauty

So, if you know me, you know I'm a beach bum!  I HEART the beach!  I would live there if I could... luckily the beach is something my son is as crazy about as I am.  Hoping my daughter will love it too! 

It's just the laidback atmosphere; it's a state of mind.... I don't know, I'm just a Beach Girl!

Maybe that's why I'm so crazy about this adorable bathing suit!

(Please forgive the darkness - that's what happens when you take pictures at 6:30am!)

Super cute hanging from garden stake or with ribbon on your front door or wall!  Perfect for summer!

Bathing suit, decorated with bow $30

(Back is painted, but not decorated.  Additional $5 for back to match front)

*Also available, garden stake $6*

Busy Weekend!

What a busy weekend!  I had a great time working with the new metal I just ordered!  I can't wait to share all the goodies I made!  I got SO much done (& had time to almost get beat at bowling by my [10 days until he's] 5 year old!)

First is an address sign... this was made to hang under a mailbox -

not a Michigan fan myself, but I LOVE this!

These signs are decorated on both sides

(because we want people to see it from any direction they're driving in!). 

Cost is $26 (plus shipping)

Stay Tuned!  More to come later.....

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

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!

Ahhh... order :)

In my house, if you have a cough, I probably have some cough syrup for you... HOWEVER, until recently I wouldn't have been able to get it for you... unless you had hours to wait while I looked for it.

But not anymore!  Welcome to my newly organized medicine shelf (this closet is still a work in progress, but at least the meds are in order!).... 

TA DA!!!



I'm totally in love with this little slice of organization!  Let me help you organize, or should I say label, your life too!

On the Fast Track....

My sweet boy needed a notebook for circle time at preschool.  

You know me, I just couldn't send him in with a plain notebook!  I had to "Luke-ize" it!

Two Tutus for Two Twos...

Twin Powers Activate!!!

These adorable hot pink & purple tutus (& hair bows) were adorable on two year old twins A & G!  Can't wait to share their pictures - Their mommy got some great shots (being a professional photographer & all!).  Be sure to check her out - H.A. Pearce Photography.  She's on Facebook & has a website (http://www.hapearchphotography.org/) &  blog (http://hapearchphotography.blogspot.com)/
