~Many Thanks!~

Good morning my friends,

What a weekend full of baseball and HEAT! I tell you what.
I crafted all weekend but most of it was sewing, I will share photos
of my latest projects in a week or so.
In the mean time I wanted to share this card that was featured
on the Momenta Blog yesterday.

I punched clouds from the card stock and painted it with a paint pen. 

I used SRM stickers on the clouds.

I love those sentiment stickers! :) 

It was a fun little project, I can't wait to give it to my gf! :) 

Happy Monday my friends.

~Altered Scrapbook Album + **WINNER**~

Good morning my crafty friends,

I have a fun little project to share today, an altered scrapbook album.

 I used the fun Buttons Galore & More buttons and you can 

find step by step instructions on their blog right here!

and set it aside and just forgot. It's my first mixed media canvas, I have

never done one before I I LOVE IT! *if I do say so myself*:) 

 I used Buttons Galore & More buttons, Clearsnap Smooch Spritz,
Clearsnap ColorBox Inks

Kaiser Craft doilies, Pink Paislee Press-ons, Plaid Crafts paint.

running through  my brain! :)

I am off to enjoy the day in the pool I hope....ok maybe not but

a girl can wish right? Then off to watch some baseball. We have

no games but I am going to watch friends (much more fun).

~Buttons Galore Blog Hop + Chicken UPDATES!!~

Good morning my friends, I am pushing my other Avocado Arts

project to tomorrow because today I have a special BLOG HOP going on.

Below are the chicken updates + photos.

The Buttons Galore & More Blog Hop.

When they sent me this piece of fabric I had no idea what

in the world I was going to do with it, but then it came to me.

Why not make a sweet little "My Hero" Card for hubby.

Clearly no one in my house has a problem with PINK LOL so I

just went for the whole she-bang.

The buttons were specially dyed to match the fabric, and

it was a fun card to make.

And the next blog on the blog hop is Keri

http://pinklemonade.typepad.com/

Hope you have fun on the blog hop, be sure to comment to win~

Happy Monday my friends, thank YOU for stopping by!

Ok on to the chicken update, you know we recently lost chickens

due to a coyote or fox, anyways we got 18 more and on Easter we

put 15 of them into the chicken yard, they were so cute!

I suspect we will lose about 5 more because they appear to be roosters.

But for now we will see what happens.
And we had to kick poor Roo out of his yard, so he would not pick

on and peck the babies...he is really not happy LOL
It's funny because he is not mean but he was so mad I was chasing

him with the camera, he kept running away but I managed to

grab a few good shots~

And my favorite part of the year by far...the part where

the chicken trail return! :) I love it~

Now if that don't make you smile I don't know what will!

I am sending out random fan packages this week, if you receive

one please let me know it arrived safely. :)

~Sneak Peeks W/ Buttons~

Good morning my friends,

I crafted yesterday quite a bit but it was all hush hush, top secret LOL

So I decided to slide a couple sneak peeks in today.

I have 3 projects coming up soon....today on the Buttons Galore & More

Blog I have this project....(go check it out here)

http://www.buttonsgaloreandmore.com/blog/

And in a couple weeks I have this project coming up on the

Buttons Galore & More Blog

Plus coming in April to a special blog near you....a

few projects as a guest DT! :) Be sure to check out Avocado Arts.

I am very excited so stay tuned...sorry I had nothing new to share today.

We got caught up in baseball training and certification and

I had a friend come by and I begged her to leave her kids with me.

I love my friends and their kids, it's a fun spring activity to watch

them play with the new chicks. :)

~Busy Weekend Fun+Photos From My Craft Room!~

Good morning my friends, what a fantastic and busy

weekend in the Hobbs home! :)

Hubs had to work on Sunday, so we knew it would be crazy.

Started out on Friday getting the house clean and taking care of sick kids,

then Saturday a couple of my close girly friends came over.

Melissa & Jennifer. Melissa came to scrap with me, and Jennifer came

to organize and clean my scrap room!

She organized and I scrapped her pages...SUPER trade right?! LOL

This layout is her son throwing out the first pitch for the Sounds,

and I was so excited to scrap baseball photos. I love me some baseball.

I found the perfect stamp from Pink By Design to combine with

The perfect flat back buttons from Buttons Galore & More.

The paper is Bo Bunny and when I saw it I died a little bit...I need to find

some even if it is no longer produced....SO if anyone knows where I

can get it PLEASE let me know! :)

It felt so good to scrap pages for fun. I actually finished 7 in one day.

Not elaborate but pretty anyways.

Now I have to share photos of just how my room is coming together.

I knew Jennifer would organize but I never expected it to be color coordinated

and just BEAUTIFUL too!

She found em these jars for .69 and I sent hubby to buy like 15 more! LOL

And she found me these baskets in different shapes and sizes

at the Dollar Store for 1.00! I had hubby buy 25 more! haha

Then hubby went to a friend's house and made shelves....

I am going to paint the shelves or cover then in Hello Kitty fabric,

then label all the baskets. The jars will all have a Hello Kitty bow on them.

I am dying to get it all done! Can't you see it now?

I have a huge craft room, I am excited! :)

I have the most amazing friends who just jump in and help

whenever it is needed. I am just sooooooo excited!

Happy Monday my friends!! ♡♡

~Bridal Shower Invites~

Good morning my friends,

I had such an exciting day yesterday, I cannot wait to share!

My friend Jennifer came over and is completely re-doing my craft room

from the top to the bottom in PINK baskets and pretty jars! :)

I will totally take photos when it is done. in the mean time....

I have these Bridal Shower invites to share.

You know I made those teacup invites, well after that I had an order! :)

This is my second design. What do you think?

I used the Buttons Galore & More blank craft frames, hearts,

and rosettes. Plus the Beacon Glitter It glue from the same Buttons Galore store.

I had never used that glue but it worked perfectly! :)

I need to try it in a Christmas bulb because it had the perfect consistency.

I also threw on from vintage lace, and the base is Momenta Cardstock

I like the end product, very wedding chic~ Oh la la LOL

Ok I am off to fend for the boys, hubs is working 6-7 days a week

and it's just me and the boys, time to cook...AGAIN! LOL

Happy Sunday my friends. Love ya~
