Monogram Plate

One of my very best friends got engaged last night and I was asked to be a part of the proposal by taking pictures (see the photo blog in a few days to see pictures!).  There was no way I could be a part of such an awesome proposal and not bring a gift! I etched a plate with their names and future monogram initial! Shortly after she opened it, other friends were telling me they expect one when they get hitched :-)

This is still with the vinyl on it...its sometimes hard to see the full detail on etched glass through a picture, so I will start showing both versions!

50th Anniversary

I was asked to design a 50th Wedding Anniversary for a friend to give as a gift.  I am pretty pleased with the result, as well as the packaging.

Belated Christmas!

Yesterday, I caught an awesome deal at Big Lots! Found these cute Christmas plates for a quarter and they were screaming for vinyl!  I hadn't planned on making anything out of them until the end of this year, but one of my best friends came to visit this morning and had the perfect opportunity! Her friend is having a wedding shower today and it's Christmas themed.  That way-the couple will have things to decorate their house for their first Christmas together-SO CUTE!!  So this is how the first plate turned out-and I LOVE IT! Is it time for Christmas yet? I want to hang one up with our name on it!!

Happy New Year!

I made a few of these plates today...found the plates for $0.60 at Big Lots! Gotta love a sale!

The Beginning of the End!

Welcome to what my husband has started calling the beginning of the end! Sitting in the back room of the house-I can get lost in craft world!  So, this is my attempt to document the craftiness I attempt to have.  Some may say artsy, but that I am not...if you put a pencil in my hand, all you would get is scribbles.  But when it comes to embroidery, photography, and the newly found vinyl passion...that I can handle.   For those of you who don't know, I was blessed enough to receive a Cricut Expression from my hubby this Christmas.  I have quickly become addicted to it, and by the end of the month, will probably have a vinyl letter on every inch of my house!  Enjoy a few pictures of the first few things I have done :-)

If you see something you like or want me to make something for you-feel free to ask!

These are coasters I made for some friends...even though I don't like UGA!
