A Bit of Painting

This past weekend I got into a painting mood! I had some old paintings I did while in college that I didn't like. So thanks to the wonderful idea from my mom, I decided to paint over them. I've only been working on one right now. What do you think?

I think I'm going to add a shadow to the cross and add some words... not quite sure what though. My inspiration came from a beautiful cross that is hanging up in our house that we got at a wedding shower.

Oh! One other thing! The church I attend is having a Super Couponing event this Saturday. So if you are in the Ruston area around 10 am this Saturday, stop by Calvary Baptist Church and check it out! If not, then check back here early next week, and I'll share all the wonderful coupon secrets we learn! : )

Enjoy your weekend!

Church Craft Night

Last night our church had a craft night for the women. We made magnet boards and a scrapbook page. I was in charge of showing them how to create the scrapbook page. Here's what we did!

Magnet Board

For the magnet board, we used small cookie sheets. Some women painted theirs, but I just left mine how it was. We used mod podge to adhere the scrapbook paper to the cookie sheet. Then we drilled holes in the top to put ribbon through to hang it. There wasn't any ribbon that really worked with my colors so I will have to find some. We also had magnets to put on our board. 

Scrapbook Page

For the scrapbook page, I used the Cheerful paper. I cut out a bunch of different owls from the Hoot-n-Holler Cricut cartridge for everyone to choose from. They got to pick out their owl, two photo mats, a journaling spot, and stickers. 

Enjoy!

We're back from Memphis!

My husband and I took a small vacation these past few days with some of my family. My younger sister is moving to Memphis, Tennessee, to go back to school. She and my parents were moving all her furniture into her new apartment so Ragan and I decided to tag along! Here are a few pictures from the past few days. I'll try to post more later.
