HELLO 2013!!! GOODBY 2012!!!

 Hello all my lovely Blogers & Followers,

this isnt so much a crafty post but i want to share it with all you lovely faces!!!

well as this year begins in my house it seems to be moving kinda slow but steady for me and my family....

a lot has happened for me since my last post and well gee golly the joy is almost unbearable to not shout it to the world... in October of 2012 we were told by this amazing non profit organization who's sole reason for existing  is to help and give thanks to wounded combat veterans... a lot of my friends and followers know my husband was critically wounded in Iraq in 2009 it has been a very hard and long journey for us so with that being said it has made the announcement even more exciting this organization military warrior support foundation told me and my husband they want to give yes GIVE us a house a beautiful 5 bedroom house with adaptive devices to help my husband get the most out of life!!! I guess you cant imagine the feelings and emotions we went threw in the matter of minutes of that phone call :-) my husband cried the happiest tears and smiled so proudly and he has hope for the future again.... i couldn't breath i felt this weight of the world being lifted off my shoulders... I now know that things are only going to get better for my family things can only keep getting better..... the day i watched my husband walk off the medivac shuttle i knew i was blessed after thinking the beautiful man i married was dead for several hours to finding out he was alive but seriously injured but coming home very much alive!!!!!!!!!!! that day was the beginning of our new life together now a home of our own finally getting out of this perpetual renter cycle a bright future for our little boy and a place that my husband can be as mobile as he wants to be and a home to call our own............ the best gift we could have ever been given!!!

our beautiful new home!!

a couple more weeks and we get to move in!!!

month of Aug Design team projects

wow time has really flown by this year for me 

seems just like yesterday we were bringing in the new year 

at my house ......

well august brings alot of excitement for me because this month 

for Shabby Scraps we focused on using the gorgeous

fabric tape and i have had a addiction for that 

stuff since the very first picture was 

put up in the Shabby Scraps Shop. 

so with out further babbling lol 

here are some pictures 

 here is a victorian boot i found at a local

thrift/antique store it was in not so great condition but 

i seen the possibility's in it 

here is a befor picture 

  please excuse my messy desk lol 

its my creative process lol  ....

so as u can see i painted it white 

and then covered the whole thing in 

white lace then i use some 4 mm flat back pearl trim to

trimmed the whole thing 

then uses some pink eyelets and ribbon to lace it up 

then i made some cute rolled roses out of the 

beautiful Shabby Scraps fabric tape 

i know its pretty simple but i love the soft lady like  feel of it

pt.2 of the month of Aug DT project 

yep you read right this month we had to make 

two  yes two projects using yes my fav 

the fabric tap 

part two of this month was a theme we had to make 

a tag show casing the fabric tape 

well just one tag wasnt enough for me lol 

so i used my sizzix pro die cutting machine and 

the pro die titled album tags and made my 

self a sweet shabby chic mini for 

mine and hubby's 9 yr anni
so heres the pic

i used a ton of shabby scraps in this mini
and love the soft shabby chic look of it

Hi there every one 

so i had a brilliant idea and im soooo very happy that my idea worked out 

so it all started by cruising the web trying to feed my shopping 

addiction with a lil window shopping lol it never really works 

i always end up wanting to go shopping more 

well i was on a web site

(scrapbooking.com) 

and 

a light bulb went off when i seen this here

now i have been looking at these embellies for 

a long while but i cant bring my self 

to pay so much for sooooo little lol

shopping addict with common since

but any who this is what i came up with 

n here is how i did it

and pt.2 here

• Air dry plaster ( i used the colorbok brand)
• a disposable bowl
• measuring tools (i recommend a 1 tbsp and a 1/2 tbsp)
• stir stick 
• molds ( in my vid i showed u how to use sculpty as a mold if u dont have any silicone molds)

i hope this helps and if there are any questions

this is a scrappy divas face book group swap 

i had to sit long and hard thinking of how i was going to pull this one 

off cause it was way out of my crafting comfort zone lol

so i asked her what her craft likes were and she told me 

goth, grunge and steam punk and 

out of those choices this is what i chose to make :-)
