The Finished Product

How cute is a button moose!?!? I think he turned out pretty adorable. Next time I will paint the outline to give it a bit more definition, and wait till daylight to take a picture :) Overall it will be a nice addition to my craft room!

Until next time <3

Pinterest Challenge #11

Hello lovelies! It has been quite awhile since my last post. What have I been doing you ask? Well I opened up an Etsy shop! You can find it ---> Here

I also was in my first craft fair with my friend Brittinay {you can find her shop ---> Here}. It was small and nothing to spectacular, but it was a good experience.

On a not so good note I spilled honey ALL over my computer! Yikes! So what normally takes me 5 minutes to type takes me 15. Well looks like I will be buying a new computer soon ;)

But don't worry on my blogging time out I still completed at least one Pinterest challenge! So here it is...

The Finished Product

Ummm can you say YUM! So this isn't the first time I have made this and this one is a bit different. I made a mexican style version and put salsa verde and some greek yogurt on the side. So good and healthy (minus the melted cheese). I am now making this at least once a week! Truly a must try.

Until next time <3

Pinterest Challenge #10

Hello again Lovelies!

Welcome to another Pinterest Challenge! I has been a busy week and it feels good to end it with some crafting. (as you may be able to tell my work week is strange...)

This I was draw to the project because of my love for bows. Nothing is more feminine and cute than bows!

Take a look for yourself...

Turned out just as I hope it would!

So I say if boy's get bow ties, girls get bow tie necklaces!

Until next time <3

Pinterest Challenge #9

Well welcome to another Pinterest Challenge week! I must admit I had no idea what I was going to make this week until a couple of hours ago. Even though it was a spur of the moment craft it turned out wonderful.

The finished product

Dare I say that mine is more cute?!?!
The inspiration was a necklace, but I couldn't find a chain that matched the wire, so I made a ring. I didn't dare take a photo of my hand since we all saw my hideous wrist photo a couple of weeks ago. I think this will be a gift for a few :)

Until next time <3

Pinterest Challenge #8

You didn't think that I forgot to post a Pinterest Challenge this week did you?

Yes, I am a few days later than I normally post but I took this week off from work (my real job that pays me money) and have been getting some much needed rest. :)

Do you know what last Tuesday was? If you said Valentine's Day you are correct, but if you are from around my parts you may also know that it was also Oregon's Birthday! So this weeks Pinterest Challenge is inspired by this great state.

The finished product

Sorry not my best picture taking skills, but it did turn out pretty cute!

So happy birthday Oregon, I am glad to have lived with you my whole life.

Until next time <3

The finished product

This one is not a ten.... maybe a 7. It's cute, but I did run into some issues making this "easy" project. Oh well, I will get a few decent wears out of it. 

On a side note, have you ever tried to take a picture of your wrist?!?! Can someone please tell me how to make it not look like a ham hock? :)

Until next time <3
