Baby Announcement Board

Need a gift idea for that new mom and dad?  I have it!!!!

11.25 x 11.25

This was so much fun to make!  I love how it turned out.  I did not distress it like I have been doing to my other boards, but it could be done if you like that look better.

Contact me if you would like me to make you one.  Give me a background color and up to three accent colors.  Also if you want it distressed or not.  Could also add the day of the week.

Bathroom Reveal

I mentioned that I have been doing some updates to our small bath that is downstairs.  I am ready to show you what I (Lynn helped too!!) did.  Here is a before photo.

Basically this "room" is large enough for a toilet on one side and a stand up shower across from it.  It is a walk-through so there is a regular door to the right and a pocket door to the left which opens into the laundry room.  All we had was this cheap wood cabinet around the toilet to store toilet paper and cleaners.

Say good-bye to the cheap cabinet... 

  
...and hello to three rustic shelves!!!  I got this idea and the plans from HERE.  Love the final look and had fun shopping for some new storage ideas.  It was hard to take pictures because of how small the room is but I think you can get the general idea.  LOVE it!!!  I would like to repaint some time but not right now.

And here are some more boards I just finished today.  This first one is for our bedroom.  I really like this verse.

This little guy I made specifically for our "new" small bath - didn't have it done for the pictures of the bath.

11 1/4 x 6

A smaller "Fruit of the Spirit" sign.  Donating this to the Fairlawn Auction that is in March.  Be sure to look for it there!!

11 1/4 x 11 1/4

That's all for now.

A New Series I Found

"The Teacup Novellas" by Diane Moody
These are cute quick reads.  They build on each other so you will want to read them in order.  I have not finished book 5 yet but wanted to let you all know about them.  Fun reads!  Enjoy!!!










I am excited to share some pictures soon of my bathroom makeover that my husband helped me with this past weekend.  Want to get some other items to finish the look before I post pictures!  :)

Also working on some more painted boards....stay tuned!

Book Recommendations

Here a few books that I have read recently and would recommend.

Visible Threat by Janice Cantore

This book is #2 in this series (Critical Pursuit was the first).  A good mystery with some fun characters.  This is a pretty easy read and the storyline is good.  Fighting human trafficking is the theme this time.




Just 18 Summers by Michelle Cox & Rene Gutteridge

This book is a reminder that time goes fast and we only have 18 years to influence and spend quality time with our children before they are off on their own.  You will laugh, and you will cry through this book.  Each chapter switches between several different parents' viewpoints.  I had a hard time putting this one down.



The Prayer box by Lisa Wingate

Really liked the storyline here.  Set in Hatteras Island, I could really imagine myself there.  Had a hard time feeling for the main character at first - comes off selfish - but she learns a lot and helps several people in the end.  




Have you read a good book lately?  I would love to hear what it was and why you liked it.

Painted signs

I was busy making some custom signs for some special people.  Had a lot of fun!!!  The sizes are under each one.

 This one has a chalkboard Mickey head so you can count down the days!

I love how this one turned out...looks like burned page edges.

I already have an idea for something I want to make for my bedroom.  If you would like something made, please contact me.  I am open to just about anything!!  :)
