The latest and greatest from the last several months...

Birthday gift for my grandparents who share a birthday in July.

 My cousin Katie requested these to give her daughter and her friends as confirmation gifts.  She will finished them with filler and ribbons.

 Teacher Christmas Gift

 Baby gift (yes I fixed the error after I was made aware of it before it went out...that's what happens when I get in a hurry.)

 Baby frame for my roomies newest daughter.

 A gift for someone who lost her mother way too soon.

They speak for themselves....

By now you know the routine...I create, I post, You like?!  Enough said.

 Graduation gift...Bob Marley fan

 Getting creative in one my bathrooms....there's more to come soon.

 Pool room decor

 Birthday gift for a OU Sooners student.

 Baby gift for a couple of very new twins.

More of this and that....

It's been a crazy spring now that it has finally showed up....between getting the pool ready and mowing and mowing and more mowing...I do find some time to spend in my room.

Wedding gift for my cousin to give a friend...she wanted something with a cross and this is what we came up with.  I really like this idea and may have to do it again.

Graduation gifts galore...

These are cups I did for the boys' teachers this year for the end of the year.  

Tiles for a lady at church to give herself and friends.

My latest refurbishing attempt.  Ksu roomie Jill's, mother in law, bought this and wanted me revamp this so she could enter it in a United Way fundraiser auction coming up in June.  This is the before....

 Here is the after...you can't see it real well...but the seat of the chair is bubble gum pink as is the vinyl I put on it.  I found an Audrey Hepburn quote "Happy girls are the prettiest" and decided that would be the theme.  Hopefully this will end up in some little girls room to enjoy.

Another pinterest idea....a tomato plant cage, wrapped in evergreen garland and lights.  Perfect for my front porch planters at Christmas.  Now I just need another helping of evergreen garland and lights and I'll have two....something to be on the hunt for during garage sale season.

A few new things...

I loved this frame and so glad that someone needed a name frame for their daughter's family.

 This was made for someone who lost her friend a year ago.  She's giving it to her friend's husband and son.

 My sister in laws Mother's day gift for her sweet momma.

 I was inspired to do this from Pinterest.  I see lots and lots of things and pin lots and lots of ideas...someday I'll get them all made.

New canvas, wine holder, tile with new style, and wine party decor

This one is hot off the presses...just finished today for my brother's birthday which is next Saturday.  This was kind of a guinea pig gift as I've been wanting to do something like this for quite awhile...now I'm gonna have to do one for myself, making a few changes to make it more personal for me.

 This was a gift for Marty from my parents.  My mom made the glass holder, I added the wording and found to glasses with powercats etched them.

 Another tile in a different style.  A request from a friend to give as a gift.  Really like this design.

 Back in February I helped my mom host a post wedding shower for my brother and his wife.  It was a wine party and I was in charge decor.  Instead of attaching wine charms to the glasses I decored each glass with either a MU or KSU icon in honor of the bride and groom.

I haven't forgot about this one..

Even though it seems like it I haven't forgot about this blog...here's a few items that I've finished recently.

I've had this little chair for quite awhile (bought it at an antique store) and really didn't know what I was going to do with it until now.  My KSU roomie, Jill, has 2 girls Rachael and Rebecca and she lets me indulge on buying and making girly things since I have boys.  For Rachael's first Christmas I redid a small wooden desk all KSU like.  So I decided Rebecca was going to get her very own KSU chair.  Plus her momma would've killed me had a given her another desk to find space for.

The seat says "#1 Cat Fan sits here!"

The back says "I back the Cats!"  I thought it turned out really cute and Rebecca seemed to like as did big sister so I'm sure it'll get a lot of use.  Now the trick will be to find something for the new little sister or brother that's coming in August....YEAH!!!

I made these two frames for my Pastor and his wife to hang in their daughters room.  They have Vivine (8yrs I think) who they adopted from Haiti when she was 3 or so.  And they left this weekend to adopt her sister Rosalineda who is 6 years old.  This has been a long process for them and we are so excited for them to bring her home, however not nearly as excited as Vivine is.

This was a test project...I've been wanting to do something like this for quite awhile and found just the reason to get it done.  My dear friend Cari who has lived in Singapore the last 4 years birthday was in January and because of the time difference and my lack of being with it....I always forget to get her gift/card or even email sent in a timely manner. So I just decided it's better late than never and what a surprise it will be to receive about a month late.  Hopefully she doesn't read this blog very often or it may just ruin the surprise. :)!

I know it's not much but on a side note I did get some much needed scrapbooking done last weekend with KSU roomies.  Hopefully the need to do some more will kick in.  Don't forget to check my other new blog if you want to know what we have been upto lately on the family side:  thelifeofksufans.blogspot.com
