{TV Cabinet}

When we PCSed back to WA the old table that we've used to put our tv on got a little 'man handled'. I was pretty disapointed since it was something that has been passed down through my family.....I'm pretty sure it was made by someone in my family. Very sad. I'm still able to
use it.....It's in my craft room now......but just not strong enough to hold a large tv anymore. So.....off on my mission I went to find something for us to put our tv on.....and I'll tell you I looked for a LONG time for something used to be able to use.....I was even willing to alter something....but at the same time I wasn't willing to spend $300 on something only to alter it. I had VERY specific things I wanted out of this piece of furniture........I actually ended up buying a new piece of furniture.....I know right!......that does not sound like me! Well it had glass doors on it.....and this IS what I thought would work for us.....but the PS3 that Hubby got for Christmas was a LOT hotter than I had thought it would be.....so we had to keep the doors open anytime it was on.....and because the doors had to be open so often they got loose and worn and the two on that side ended up coming off......SO after all that I had been thinking that I would take the glass off the doors and put pretty fabric in it's place! I've always got to talk Hubby into projects that I do like this. I have such a hard time describing the pictures that I see in my mind to him. lol
So this isn't the best picture....especially since Hubby needs to help me put the doors back on lol but it'll do for now. :-) And I'll see what I can do about digging up a 'before' pic.....I was just too excited to take a before pic lol I do tend to do that. Whenever I get in the mood to actually DO a project and the kids are letting me do it......I tend to just jump in there and DO it. lol

It's SOOOO pretty!!! :-D This is actually my FAVORITE fabric. :-D It's from the Shabby Chic line from Target. It was a table cloth that I had gotten years ago, but I hardly ever use it.....I hardly ever get to use table clothes......they just get dirty too quickly lol.....so I put it to good use where I get to see it every day. :-D

{Kara's Card}

This is the Birthday card I made for our sister Kara's 19th Birthday......I used the cricut to cut out the 'K' and the crown and put some blingy glitter on it.  It goes with her gifts, so I'm hoping she likes it.  :-D

{Kara's Birthday Presents}

Here is a horrible picture of one of the birthday gifts that I made for Kara's 19th Birthday.  She really likes to draw, and also write plays.  So I took a clip board and I spray painted (this is prolly my bff now that I've met her lol) it purple on the front and back.  And then I took and put her name and a crown on the back of it and blinged it out for her since she is girly like me like that.  :-D  I wanted to leave the front of the clip board smooth so that when she is writting on it she has that smooth surface.  I also put some laminating material over it to help protect it.
I don't know if I didn't get any pictures of it......or if I just can't find them on my computer.....but I also got her a spiral notebook.....and I altered the cover of it for her.  It's in the same theme of her clip board and birthday card.  Pink, Purple, K, Crown..... :-D  I also put a BUNCH of ribbons on the spiral part of it.  I really liked the way it ended up turning out.  I also ended up putting the same laminating material over the cover of that too to help protect it.
I think this is a great gift idea for someone and I really enjoyed making it for her.  :-D

{Always}

I kinda cheated with this L\O here.....mainly with calling it a L\O....lol....This was a spiral notebook cover that I altered for a journal.  I loved it so much though that I wanted to put it in my scrapbook!  lol  So I put it in with my recent layouts for a while.  lol  My friend Korie took this picture of us during a family photo shoot of us right before The Mr joined the Army.  :-D

{Sweet Life}

Here is one of my favorite pics of me while I was pregnant with Mr A....this is at the baby shower that was given to me for him......Korie was so adorable huggin my tummy!!  :-D  I have wanted to scrapbook this picture for years now lol  and I'm so glad that I have now.  :-) 

{Spring Theron}

When we were in North Carolina....we were able to go and see The Mr do a day time jump.....I think this was actually his only day time jump that he did while we were there.  We drove out to the jump site and I had quite a wait with the boys.  lol  This is a picture I took of Mr T while we were sitting on the grass.  He stayed pretty close to me since he was so young while the other two boys were off playing close by.  It was so nice and sunny, and he just looked so cute stairing up at me.  :-D

{A Love Story}

This is a L\O that I scraplifted out of a magizine.  Of course I made it my own.  I really need to get better about marking down where I get my inspirations and the products that I'm using.  The picture that I ended up using for it is of me and my love that we took of us after our family pictures in April 2009.  :-)  I absolutely L.O.V.E. this picture of us.  :-D

{Recent Layouts}

On the top row of my shelves are all my scrapbook magazines and inspirational books....anytime that I need to be inspired and I just want to thumb through something while Hubby and I are relaxing somewhere I can just grab one....so I thought it would be great to put up some frames (which I already had in the garage) so that I can put in the most recent layouts that I've done. I can enjoy them for a little bit before I put them into their albums. :-) As I continue to do more layouts they will rotate out. :-) I am so excite to be able to enjoy them a little longer. :-) And they look just so darn cute sitting up there on my selves. :-) I will post later the individule layouts. :-)

{Finally Scrapbooking....}

So,  I've finally started scrapbooking again.....it's been awesome working in my craft room.  :-D  I'll be posting the pages by themselves as I have some time.  I haven't been able to take decent pics of the pages because of my camera acting up.....I ended up taking some pics with my phone.....I think I'll end up using those until I can get some decent pics of them and just replace them.  :-)
