TGIF

I've been so busy all week, no time to relax! I finally took the kids to grandma's house so I could finish this latest project as I am giving to a sweet little girl at her birthday tomarrow.

So, this is it-last craft of the week! It is a darling little trinket box that I made for my friend's daughter, Olivia. I hope she will love it...what little girl wouldn't?

Now, I am taking a break all weekend from crafting. Time to spend some quality time with the family!

I hope all of you have a fantastic weekend!

Collage Board

I did this collage board for a girlfriend that I used to work for. She wanted something unique to give to her mother-in-law for her birthday. I was given photos of the two sons and worked my way up in chronological order, ending in their wedding pictures. The gift recipient is an avid quilter, so I used a pieced background and used the quote : "Life is a Patchwork of Memories". Turned out very nicely.

The Best Afternoon Pick Me Up

When you need a pick me up in the afternoon...just to get you through until dinner-I just have to pull out my microwave popcorn and diet coke and ahhhhh, refreshing!

The face behind Jennspiration

So, I thought it was time to put a picture of myself on my blog so you can put a face with a name. I took a decent picture shortly after I had my hair cut and colored...I'm posting some pictures of my kiddos too...God has blessed us with a girl and a boy and we couldn't ask for anything more! My daughter, Peyton, is three and a half and she is in preschool and really wants to be "Spidergirl" for Halloween, although mommy wants her to be Dorothy from Wizard of Oz. :) And then there's Ashton, my cutie pie son, he will be two in just under a month and I cannot believe it! I love them so much and they bring so much joy to my life. I am trying harder than ever not to make them grow up too fast-because I know it happens. So enjoy our pictures! I'll throw one in of my darling husband, too! We love him very, very, much! He takes care of us so that I am able to stay home with the kids and raise them they way I want them to be raised.
