Getting Crafty!

Today was my first day (well, not ALL day) away from Cannon. The only time I have left him before was to go to the grocery store once. Jarom stayed home so I could go to Super Saturday. I was sort of in charge since I'm in the pres. so I had to go. I signed up for a bunch of fun crafts and I had a blast getting my craft on and chatting it up with the RS ladies.

I had to come home twice to feed Cannon. (One of the pitfalls of a baby who refuses a bottle.) But other than that, the boys were bonding. :) They watched football and Jarom did some work on the basement until our little guy had a meltdown and Jarom had to come back upstairs for some more football and bonding. Maybe now he knows why I never get anything done. Jarom even gave Cannon a bath and got him dressed! Wow! I like this!

Well, it was a great day, but I sure did miss my little man. He's been my little sidekick for so long. I don't know what I'd do without him. :)

Here are some of my projects:


Tile pictures and signs


Candy Cane for my front door. (Oh, and that's the color I painted my living room. I've got to take pics of the finished product.)

To everyone that has posted asking for instructions on the tile pictures - I'm sorry! I haven't checked this post for around 2 years. We bought the boards pre-cut at Robert's Craft and painted them the desired color (black in my case). Then I attached the pictures to the board with a glue stick. We used a hardener (like mod podge but completely clear). I can't think of the name, but I will find it and post it when I do. It dries like glass and we had to blow out the bubbles by blowing through a straw. Let it dry for a few hours and it's done. Again, I'm sorry, I had no idea it would be so popular!

If you have any other questions, email me at ashleybecarphotography.com

I'm sure that you are so tired of getting e mails saying that they want instructions for the tile pictures but alas I am one of those. I was put in as 2nd counselor in R.S. and need some more cute ideas for super Saturday. I also think the scripture totes are darling. If you get a sec let me know about both of those.

Thanks,
