Pinterest Project #1

Happy Sunday...I hope you all are having a fabulous weekend!  Today I have a different type of project that I am so excited to share with you all!!!

How many of you are addicted to Pinterest?  My sister and I are very addicted and LOVE Pinterest....we have MANY projects in the waiting to complete and every day the list keeps getting longer and longer of things we want to make!

Yesterday we competed our very first Pinterest project!  In April my sister had the opportunity to head over seas and visit Germany, Italy and France.  Her boyfriend is in the U.S. Army and is stationed in Germany at the moment.  On her trip she took some AMAZING photos and found a project on Pinterest to take your photos and adhere them to canvas to hang on the wall as a collage.  She went and bought the canvases in three different sizes and then picked out which photos she wanted to blow up to those sizes.  I had some black metallic acrylic paint so she painted the edges of each canvas; and yesterday we used spray adhesive to attach the photos.

Here is the finished collage!  What do you think?  Of course these aren't on the wall yet; as my sister's boyfriend is coming back to the states in August so she will be moving, but we wanted to get the canvases complete now since she had the photos  :)  Aren't her photos gorgeous?   I can't wait to see this on the wall of her new home!!!

And one side view so that you can see the beautiful canvas edges!  We absolutely LOVE how this turned out!  Now we can say we actually completed a Pinterest Project! :)  I can't wait until my house is build so that I can make a photo collage with some photos of mine!  I hope we have inspired you to make a project that you have found on Pinterest! :)

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to all my online blogger friends!  May your day be filled with family, friends, love, happiness, and health.  For those who are missing someone during this day may you find the peace and comfort from those around you!  To all our soldiers who are away from your loved ones....may you stay safe and we pray for your safety and return home.

Today I'd like to share a picture of the Holiday sign that I helped my hubby put together in November.  This is displayed in our hometown in the Holiday of Lights in our local park!  I absolutely love to drive past at night and see all the beautiful lights!

Again, I would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year.

Please Help....

Hi Friends~

Edited to add: Thanks for everyone's help.....Donny and his truck have been found!

I know this is totally off topic....however I feel this is the least I can do to help!  My brother is an over the road trucker driver and hauls food products to the west coast and back to Wisconsin for a company called Heim Trucking.  I recently became aware that Heim Trucking is missing one of their truck's and its driver....they haven't been able to contact the driver since Monday, and he was supposed to unload his truck yesterday, but never showed up.  This is totally out of character for this gentleman, and no one can get ahold of him.  We are worried that he may have had an illness, been in an accident, or something much worse may have happened.  If you could please take a few minutes to read the below info, and if you are in the Spokane, WA or Montana area if you could please keep a look out for this semi truck and driver that is GREATLY appreciated!!!!

Vegas Trip

 Hello Everyone~

Since I had a little bit of time I thought I would upload some of my pics from my Vegas trip a couple weeks ago and share them with you!  Hubby and I had a blast...it was so much fun getting away just the two of us! 

Here we are eating at Margaritaville....over looking Caesar's Palace!

 We stayed at the Monte Carlo...I thought it was a nice hotel, we got a room on the 28th floor so it was a nice view of the strip.

Our pool area at our hotel.  We had a pool, hot tub, and a lazy river!  The lazy river was heated so we spent a day lounging poolside which was nice.

For St. Patrick's Day we went out to dinner at the Stratosphere....this is a hotel with a revolving restaurant on top; I believe it's the tallest building in Vegas.  The Top of the World Restaurant is on the 106th floor!  YIKES...was a tad scary for this girl who is afraid of heights!  After about 15 mins I think I settled down a bit so that I could enjoy our meal!  This picture is overlooking "Old Vegas" otherwise known as Fremont Street!  I loved our trip that night to Fremont St!

This is a view of the main strip from our restaurant again.  I so love all of the lights!!!!

Here are me and my lucky lepruchans that I had to get my picture with....what a FUN way to celebrate St. Patty's Day, don't you think?!



I will have a new card to share with you tomorrow! :)

Happy Belated Valentine's!

Happy Belated Valentine's!  I hope you had a marvelous day with the sweeties in your life!  I was hoping to have a nice and relaxing day.....watch the NASCAR race with my hubby and do some crafting...however, instead I got a lovely migraine so I got to spent most of the day sleeping.  Darn headaches!  Thank goodness today I am feeling mucho better! 

Since I didn't get craft time in I thought I would share my valentine goodies that I got.  My hubby surprised me with a boquet of gorgeous flowers...and the vase was even pink!  How AWESOME is that?!

 

  

  

I love staring at them!  Then if you click -->HERE<-- you can see the goodies and stunning handmade creation that I got from my mom and dad!  Gotta love crafting goodies and chocolate!

Enjoy your week; and don't forgot to come back Wednesday for the WOJ Challenge! :)
