DIY BANNER

 

The love travels every now and then for work and comes home to a simple little surprise.  This time I decided to craft up a banner.  Its like a min-welcome home present.

Gather these items.  Most you have lying around the home somewhere.  You can use a ruler and scissors if you don’t have a paper trimmer.

Cut the paper 3×4 inches or to whatever size you desire.  Instead of leaving them square I cut a triangle on the bottom of each square.

I used the triangle scraps for part of my message. Write your message on each squares/triangles.

Thread your message together and use thumb tacks to pin it to the wall and Viola…a message to your sweetie.

Whats crafting on this Thursday for ya?  Please share.

My heart breaks.

A typhoon with plenty of power came through and took away many lives and left many stranded. My prayers goes out to all that was involved and the families that are now left to start new. Take the time today to pray for these families and if you are able and your heart calls for it give to help another get back on their feet. Life is given to us as a gift and the gift should be extend to those in need in times as such. Prayers are powerful, so let the prayers begin if you are not able to give money. Time is everything.

Have a lovely Wednesday.

MERCI BEAUCOP

About two and some weeks ago my manager said, “I have something for you!” I thought oh ok no big thing…thought it was a project. When you least expect it things happen. A thank very much gift. Appreciation goes a long way and this reminds me keep going.

Thank you ST for the beautiful mini roses and especially the card… Ohhhh i love the french language. Just the right card to melt my heart.

Keep going because the greater things has yet to come! Hope you have a great Monday to start off your week.

Bonjour Novembre

November is here. You know what that means… The holidays are right around the corner and it is going to go wayyyy fast with lots of fun chaos with family chirping with conversations, laughters, and giggles. Ohhhh I can not wait!

Hope your first day of Novembre is lovely as can be!

BOLD DREAMS

Hello Monday!!! DREAM… Do not be afraid to be bold with your dreams.  If your dream is not bold enough, its not BIG enough.  Many dream stay as dream.  Don’t let yours.  Make the dream alive.

Serious Pie

Last weekend–made a stop at Serious Pie in Seattle,WA for late lunch. Deliciousness!

My second time stopping in and its still delicious.
Not only do they serve pizza they also have biscuits.

Ohhhh my! Brussels sprout?! Ummmm YES I couldn’t pass this up. I wasn’t ever a big fan of Brussels sprout until the love cooked it for me! Ever since then, you better believe it, anything brussels sprout I am ordering! Future post on Brussel sprout to come.

We ordered a pie topped with sweet fennel sausage, roasted peppers, provolone and the love added prosciutto. Such a nice touch to our pie–it was complete and tasty.

A touch of lemon in the water is always needed! What restaurant(s) have you tried as of late? Please share because I might just have to stop by when I am in the area.

A HINT of gold: CHEVRON and lines.

Oh how the mouse has been needing company. At home and the office space. FINALLY I got around to making them. Simple and too easy. Had everything but the cork piece. Found it at a garage sale for 0.50 cents! Score.

Oh this 1 can of gold spray paint has lasted me.

I eyeballed the lines as I taped it up. It is about an inch apart.

Next you are going to use your X-acto knife and cute out certain pieces that you would want your pattern.

Be sure to be outside or in an open space before using your spray paint. I was in my patio with the nice touch of pine scraps on the balcony. Let the spray paint dry for about 10-15 mins. Spray a second coat if your heart desires for it. Then let it dry another 10-15 mins before peeling off the painters tape.

AND Viola! Finito. A hint of chevron and lines. My mouse finally has a companion.

See what happens when the gloomy weather rolls around? My craft creativity oozes out of me. Hope you enjoyed this and happy Wednesday.
