the versatility of burlap

oh what would we do without Pinterest?

a friend of a friend (really? i promise i'm stopping there, there will be no mentions of cousins, aunts, uncles, neighbors, or so-and-so's boyfriend, its really just a friend of a friend, haha) is getting married and had mentioned wanting a "Mr & Mrs" burlap pennant sign for their table at the reception.

SO.....

My friend, Abbye, and I came up with this little craft, hopefully it'll be just what she wanted :)

I think it'll be just precious for an outdoor wedding & reception!

Happy Tuesday!

cheers to pinterest projects!

iUpdate

so, for valentine's day... hubby was a sweetie pie and surprised me with a new iPhone4 (woohooo!)
i've been eligible for an upgrade since last Feb, but i'm a bit resistant to change, and my previous iPhone was still working just fine (it was the original iPhone circa 2009) until.... well, it became a bit slow. and my bible app quit working because the software was more advanced than my phone--- yikes! so, new phone, new bible app. problemo solved!!!!

she's all fancy and pretty

i'm feeling a little out of my league...

truth be told, i'd still have my pink razor

if it was more functional,

i loved that phone!

anyway, moving along:

what did i get him???

well, i got him a gun for Christmas,

so i got him his CHL and class for Valentines!

(Cconcealed Handgun License)

--for those of you who aren't "gun people"

not an overly romantic gift,

but its practical and its what he wanted :)

what else have i been up to these past few months?

this: painting wedding hangers galore!

aqua + red

classic black + white

champagne + deep red

super fun: pink + green

hot pink + black

ivory + eggplant

(love those little tiny flower girl hangers)

ivory + Tiffany's blue

lavender + white

silver + magenta (for wedding party)

black + magenta (for MOB and MOG)

white + navy

white + nectar

white + gold (for MOB and MOG)

i kinda love the white + gold.... very chic!

sigh, i'm now a "regular" at the post office

but- the hangers are so fun and cute,

and i just love lining them up for pictures at the end!!!

they do take up quite a bit of my free time,

but I adore wedding details- i'm so wishing i had these for my wedding!

anyway, thats some of where i've been

and what i've been doing these past few months!

Hope you all had a fantastic V-day and felt very loved~!

-xoxo-

Happy Thursday!

home is where the art is

yes, i said that right.

those of you that know us, know we are pretty big Red Raider fans, woohoo Go Tech!!!
and i've got a love for the arts, its in the blood-- from both sides of my family.
so, i figure-- since we dont live in lubbock anymore, i'd bring a little bit of lubbock to our home...

{drumroll please}

this is what you see when you open the garage door to park your car...

woohoo!!!

i mean, go big or go home...right?

i painted it for husband for his "father's day" present from Coach,

i thought it would be a little happy something

for everyday when he got home from work!

and i really like it too!

Wreck 'Em Tech!!!

happy monday

hanger mania

So, as of late my "secret room" (its my craft room, drew just nicknamed it the "secret room where no boys are allowed") ...anyway, my craft room has been quite the hot spot!!!

I've got big news coming up about my crafty endeavors, but until then... i'll leave you with my shameless plug of my own stuff (pathetic, or what!) but i figure as long as there are pics, its better than nothing!

I'm not even going to lie, these have been super fun... yes, even the ones for "other" colleges. Of course, the TEXAS TECH hangers are the most fun, but i can respect those who have attended different universities wanting to show their school spirit. Ta-Da.... collegiate hangers!!!

set of 5 Texas Tech hangers

love me some red & black

white masked rider hanger!

black on black sequins, woohoo!!!

Set of 5 University of Texas hangers

pretty pearl necklace with longhorn charm

burnt orange + white

Set of 3 Texas A&M hangers

close up: A&M logo, 12th Man, and "Gig 'Em" thumb

yep, i had to buy maroon paint to do these, its not a color i keep around.

i feel like i'm evolving as a person.

guess who found her camera charger

thats right, woooooooooooooohhhhhhhhoooooooooooooooo!
i found it!!!!
(the joys of closet cleaning!)

(in my belt/hat drawer in my closet dresser, weird place for a camera charger, i know?)

anyhoo! i'm back and promise to deliver some super awesome blogs, with pics!!!

a while back, i did this in Little Miss Ashley's bedroom

well, on the adjacent wall i also did these...

woohoo chandeliers!!!

Ashley's mama wanted it to be fun

 and blinged to the max,

so i had a ball... I glued 300 rhinestones to

thumb tacks and added them to all the chandeliers!

--and each chandelier had a tulle or chiffon "cord cover" to add texture!

there might have been some glitter paint involved!

the big one!

(pre-bling)

little light pink one, with tulle & rhinestones

its hard to see in the picture, but most of these "bead lines" are painted on,

but some of them are actual 3-D

beads i tacked to the wall

its super fun, in person!

and we added this pretty chandelier,

(can be found at hobby lobby in the party plates/silverware section)

to the corner, how cute is this!!!

ash's room is absolutely adorable,

and i had so much fun getting to fufu it up!

happy tuesday yall!
