Here & There


I've done a few house projects in the past couple of weeks...  
The first was this pallet sign Justin made for me to paint.  I stained it to match our bedroom set and I'm really happy with how it turned out!

The second was this coffee table Justin built for me.  I searched Pinterest for ideas and then we decided on one that we both liked.  He spent several evening's in Joshua's shop making it just right.


Sanding it nice and smooth...

The finished product!

I stained it and now I just need to put a coat of polyurethane on it.  
Now to search Pinterest for decorating ideas!!

This is from a few weeks ago... Signs of spring on our little tree.

Now look at it! :)

Joylin, Joanna, Juliana, Hannah (Joylin's friend from Canada), and I enjoyed a little trip to the ocean a few days ago.

 A sanddollar Joanna found.


 Pretty little blooms on the dunes...

I had the girls over for a craft day while Hannah was here.  
Joylin made this one...

...I did this one...

Joanna found this idea off Pinterest (where all, a lot, of our ideas came from :P)  She added some buttons later, they really added the perfect finishing touch!

Joylin made this one.

Joanna made these... sorry the bottom one is cut off! :(

Hannah found an idea on Pinterest and then cut out her own little dress template to create this adorable card.

We made about 20 cards all together!

I'm so glad I checked your blog today. You and Justin make an awesome team. Love the sign and coffee table. You'll use that all the time! Looks like the girl time was fun too. Can't beat the beach and crafts. Great card ideas! Grandmommy

Amazing job on your sign, Kaitlyn. How'd you do the letters? Stencils? And that coffee table is beautiful. You two did a great job!

And look at those cards you girls made. They look professional! Seriously, if you could see some of the ones I've made, you'd just shake your head.

I printed the words off the computer and then used carbon paper to trace them onto the sign. :)
