SPRING TIME - 4.7.14

Hey guys, it's me, that girl katie, Spring has arrived in most of the states but here in Jackson, WY we still have snow on the ground although it's quickly melting.

Anyhow, I put this quick video together showing the steps I took to showcase some spring flowers.

I hope you enjoy it and HAPPY SPRING.

CUSTOM INK TRUCKER HAT

Hey guys, it's me, that girl katie, A few months ago my husband had a monumental birthday and like most guys he could of cared less and was very clear he didn't want a big celebration.

While I was thrilled I got a hall pass for planning a surprise party, I knew I wanted to create something special for him.

So, I decided I would design a hat and send a bunch with him on his annual guys ski trip.

Steps: 1. Discovered CustomInk 2. Created an account and uploaded a picture 3. The Art Department turned my image into a B & W character image 4. Added the glass and bottle 5. Approved design 6. Purchased

It took a few phone calls but it was an easy process. The staff at CustomInk were very friendly and easy to work with.

Blog links and why I choose these projects:

1. Union Jack Coffee Table from, Magic City Thistle - I have a stool that I have wanted to do something like this to for many years.

2. Farmhouse Light from, The Wood Grain Cottage - I spent 3 months in Bali and always thought the rooster baskets would make the coolest Lamp Pendent and this reminded me of that.

3. Picture Collage from, TwoZeroOne - I would love to do this someday with pictures from camping trips but right now we don't have an empty wall.

4. Concerte Floor from, Wills Casa - I love graphic floors, rugs & walls. Here is my chevron rug video I produced. Maybe I should paint our garage floor next?

5. Rustic Headboard from, Chic On A Shoestring Decorating - Making a headboard has been on my "to do" list for my sons bedroom.

6. Play Kitchen from, Southern Revivals - I want to cook in this kitchen. Creating something like this for my kids and their friends would be so fulfilling to make and even more fun watching them play with it.

SHARE THE LOVE - VALENTINE GAME

Hey, it's me, that girl katie, One of the many perks of going to a blogging conference is that you end up receiving a lot of swag even when you return home. Yesterday, I had a package of Valentine treats at my door from Cricut, a big thank you.

Hello perfect timing because yesterday I was asked to help out in my sons PK class during their Valentine’s celebration. I knew I would use the goodies from Cricut to come up with a fun idea to take into the classroom.

So, last night I decided to make a board game.

When I finished, I realized that Cricut is having a contest using the treats they sent. It would be so fun to win but either way I know I shared the loved.

Supply List: Cricut: heart stickers, mini hearts, gold hearts, pink hearts on a string Other items: heart straws, pom-pom's, white board, markers

Happy Valentines Week!
