[snickerdoodle]

Thanks for all of your kind remarks! I sure appreciate them! Lana, I really enjoyed looking at your album. The wedding dress is gorgeous as are the bridesmaids' dresses, and what a sweet baby!!

 

[MinnieCo]

I did finish and post photos of my moss monogram letter on my blog finally. Hope you'll check it out.

 

[MinnieCo]

Snickerdoodle, your projects are awesome. I bought the vinyl, but I'm still nervous to try it. Not sure why, but I keep putting it off.

 

[Ahorsesoul]

I did finish and post photos of my moss monogram letter on my blog finally. Hope you'll check it out.

Well worth the blisters.

 

[Lana]

Michelle, I really like that! Would be neat to do!!! You are accomplishing your list!!!

 

[snickerdoodle]

Michelle, your moss monogram looks awesome! This may be a silly question, but do you have to mist it or anything to keep it moist? I know what you mean about being afraid of the vinyl. The first project I did was to put a "Welcome Home" sign on the outside of the door from our garage into the house. I was afraid to press that "cut" button but it turned out good and that's when the addiction started!

 

[MinnieCo]

Snickerdoodle, I don't know about the misting...LOL I just read the package and it says...if air turns extremely dry it will harden some, but returns to normal softness with the return of "normal" humidity. So I guess I'm good.

I just finished another project. I painted a bird cage I found at a garage sale for 5.00 and added some spring decor to it. Later in the summer, I'm going to put a plant inside.

My daughters fighting me to keep the cage in her new room...But I love it too much to give it to her right now! Just click on holiday confessions blog and I've got it up above my monogram letter.

 

[Lana]

Michelle, girl you are really moving on your projects! I love the bird cage! You can send it this way and go ahead and do a R while you are at it. LOL!!!! I will even pay the postage!

 

[luludou]

Michelle that birdcage is gorgeous! the moss letters are good too.

 

[KimD]

Lana thanks for thinking about me I just noticed that the last time I was on here was the beginning of Feb. I have been working alot of overtime I am sending my 16 yr old to Europe for 12 days this summer so can't pass up extra hours to pay for it. Along with she is on her way home from Myrtle Beach right now will be home tomorrow. So with working all these hours I go to work, come home eat, the younger two's sports, anything else kids have todo, bed and up to start over again. Thats about all the time I have in a day anymore. But fingers crossed I will be starting a new job within the next couple of weeks were I will have more time on my hands and more money to work with. DH is still out of work and has been for almost a year and a half with no job hopefull's yet. Starting next week I am cutting my work hours down to 5 days instead of 6 since I can no longer tell you what my name is by my day off. So hopefully I will be able to get something done. And will be around some

 

[Lana]

KimD, I was figuring it was stuff with your kids keeping you from here. Drop in when you can.

 

[Cindasnow]

Okay I didn't get to make the girls easter dresses. Just too much going on but I am okay with it because we recently jpicked up some really cute dresses at consignment sales. I did make the girls bracelets to go with their dresses and bracelets for my best friend's little girls. I also used my cricut and some contact paper to put names on easter baskets for an 4 year old easter hunt so I guess I got a little crafting done. Happy Easter everyone.

 

[Lana]

Lucinda, sounds like you got some crafting done. Nice of you to do the bracelets for the little girls.
