Adrienne at 3 months

I became a mother when my first baby was born!

Adrienne is 12 years old today, July 12.

Happy Birthday!

Recycled juice pouches bag

I wanted to try making this type of bag. It was pretty easy to make, not sure how strong it will be..Celeste has claimed this one as her own already!

Another way to re-use what we have!!

Placemat Swap!

I participated in a placemat swap through flickr along with 85 other quilters!

Here is the quilt I sent to Valerie, who lives in Ontario too:

I received from her an adorable house placemat, along with 2 little coasters and some fabric from Ikea!!! I ♥ everything she sent me!

Wreck this journal ~ Week 6

Another great week of wrecking!

I ended up painting over my white flowers page with white paint mixed with a little silver sparkles, and I started outlining some of the flowers with a pencil:


I used my daughters Barbie fashion kit to do some rubbings!



Here are a few more pages from this week:
my sign says "WELCOME", writing and drawing with my left hand, tracing my hand. I started adding a few things to the office supplies page, and my fruit stickers page is almost full. The last one in this group is the colour the entire page one, I felt like doing a collage instead of colouring, a bit of a rainbow!



I spilled my iced coffee on this page, using a straw. I was surprised it wasn't a bit darker on the page, since I drink my coffee dark.



I just couldn't leave this page completely blank...



I enjoyed doing this one:



Last picture! I sent away my favourite page to a fellow wrecker and can see that she already received it (see it here)!

You can visit the Next Chapter book club to see all the other wreckers here.
