A Quick Post

Just a quick post before I head to bed. It has been a dreadfully long weekend. It was fun, no doubt but long and I am looking forward to sleeping in my Temper-Pedic bed. Yay!

My family reunion was wonderful. We kayaked on the lake, rode go-karts & carnival rides, ate smores, and spent time with family. It was wonderful!

My necklace holder was auctioned off for $40.00 and I got a few family members requesting me to make them one!! I couldn't be more happy about it. I had added some cute necklaces to the holder as well as a really cool way to hang it. If I can find a picture of it at the auction, I'll post it here.

I'll post more after I catch up on some sleep.

Stay Awesome!

Family Reunion/Lake Time

I am about to leave for the weekend for my family reunion. It's an annual fun-filled weekend with family, food, love, and laughter! What can be better?! I have scheduled two posts to happen tomorrow and Sunday for your enjoyment. Just to make a point that I didn't forget ya!!

When I get back, I'll probably have some pretty cool stuff to post. Details about our trip and hopefully some pretty crafty ideas from some of my family members. Every year we have a auction and most of the items are handmade. I hope there is a good turnout of goodness to share with all of you!

Have a great weekend! See you all on Monday!

Necklace Holder

My family reunion is the upcoming weekend. Yay! A whole weekend of family bonding, kayaking at the lake, smores at the cabin, and yummy food. During our family reunion, we hold an annual auction. This auction is usually made up of homemade goodies or family heirlooms. The purpose of the auction is to fund the reunion f or the next year. Normally, I make turn in a canvas art piece as my auction item.

This year I made something cute and functional.

Many of my family members are stylish females. I figured since I've seen them wearing necklaces often, I'd make something for them to hang them on.

First, I took a basic wooden plaque from Hobby Lobby and painted it black.

Then I used my trusty Mod Podge and some scrapbook paper to make it look awesome. I added silver lettering and Mod Podged gloss over the top.

Then I stole my husband's electric screwdriver and screwed on the two coat hangers.

I love the way it turned out! It looks so cool! I was so excited that I decided to make one for my own bathroom vanity. Tee-Hee!!

Hope you like it! Stay awesome and craft on!!
