New toy and Crafts!

First I want to say a big THANK YOU to my wonderful mother and father-in-law who got us an amazing gift last week...one that counts for all our birthdays for the rest of the year!
I have been dying for a digital slr camera for a long time now and I LOVE IT!! The pictures don't even compare to a point and shoot camera! The only downside is that I think Jason and Logan might get sick of having a camera in their faces all the time!


So here's a couple of pictures I've taken-and these are in our poorly-lit apartment:





Well, any picture of her is perfect!

I've got a couple of occasions coming up soon that have required me to break out the crafting box. And oh man, have I been crafting! The clerks at Hobby Lobby know me by name now. Logan's birthday is in a week and a half (WHAT?!?!) so I've been working on banners, favors, and decorating cupcakes. I'm gonna try to bake and decorate the cupcakes myself and it's been a lot of fun practicing.





Check out the craft, I mean dining room, table:



This is the hairbow holder (in progress) that I made for my cousin who is having a baby girl in October:



The name plaque for my nephew Kade who will also be making his debut in October. I'm throwing a double baby shower for them in 3 weeks!



Logan's party favors:



There's more to do...better get crafting!

  1. First, love the camera! I was just telling Jay in Chicago that we need one of those fancy good cameras....now I can show him what I mean by really good quality pictures!
    And you've inspired me to actually get in there and do all the projects that are lying around waiting for me to finish!
    Great job on all the cute stuff!
