Being Creative...sort of...

Like I said in my last post, I've been wanting to do some decorating and crafty things, not like me....well I went to this craft store the other day and they have a ton of cute things. Also, one of my friends made this really cute Easter craft, so I kinda combined the two ideas and made my own Easter craft. I almost bought wood at the actual craft store, which I'm glad I didn't, I found out you can get enough for about 5 projects at Home Depot for $2 and they cut the wood for you for free!!! All you have to do is sand it yourself, which didn't take long. So....here's what I've come up with, it's probably pretty lame, but it's creative for me, and for not having any girls here to help me, I need to cut one more piece of wood to completely finish it.....


We don't have a normal entertainment center, so I'm just stacking them on the tv for now. Davie's going to help me finish a shelf for the wall when the weather gets a little better, so maybe I'll put them up there later. Here are a couple of craft things I saw at the store that I want to attempt to make......if anyone is in a crafty mood call me and we can figure them out together, I tried to get Davie to work on these with me last night but he got bored pretty quick.....
I got these shadow box shelves that I thought these eggs would look way cute on.....

I love them. They are very crafty and really cute. I am glad they had to wood at Home Depot. I heard they cut it for free, but I wasn't sure how much it cost. My dad just had some in the garage so he cut it up. You did a great job! I am always up for crafts. I would love to figure some out with you.

Way cute! You did a great job
I want to make the "family" letters
Won't have the funds to do so until towards the end of April though

If the letters to make "family" are only 50 cents each then yes pick some up for me and I'll pay you back
I'll email you my phone number so we can find out a time that will work for the both of us to get together and create cute crafty things.
