Happy Fathers Day

A little Tribute to the two most important men in my life.  My dad who has always been there for me no questions asked.  He is crazy and willing to try anything.  Loves his kids and his grandkids and cherishes every moment that is spent with his family.  His favorite saying is "It's five o'clock somewhere right"

At his 60th Birthday Celebration that was a 50's theme.  My mom made him this outfit.

Loves his grandchildren and loves to play and make them happy

 Also my husband the man who works so hard to provide for his family so I have the opportunity to stay home and raise our children.  He is always there to make everyone laugh or be a shoulder to cry on.  He is our children's and my hero.

I truly can say that I have been blessed with some pretty good men in my life.  So Happy Fathers Day to all the Dads out there. 

Planter Boxes

The one thing that is good about a rainy day is that I can spend a day in the garage building.  Around here it seems like I will be doing a lot of that.  

You know when you have a vision and you just can't find what you want, I say just build it.  I originally gave this project to my husband and as he works away most of the time this got pushed to the wayside.  In this house if you want something done on a timely manner you just do it yourself, lol.  So for a total cost of $10.00 per planter I got exactly what I wanted.  I still have a few coats of paint to put on them and hopefully the rain will subside and I can finish the rest of my porch projects.  

Summer Love Wreath

I figured that I had better change out my easter wreath to a summer once since it is June and all.  

Our local store only carries these wreaths in a glittery gold color which just didn't work for my project so first it got a little makeover with a can of blue spray paint. 

Spray Painted Blue

I had some round wood pieces left over from another project so I used those to create the Summer Love sign that goes across and finished it off with bright pink ribbon. 

Hopefully this will inspire the terrible weather to turn itself around and show us a little Summer Love and bring on the sunshine.  

Project Playhouse #6

The Makings of a Grocery Store

My idea for the back of the playhouse is to make a grocery store for the kids to play with.  After doing a little bit of searching for inspiration I found this rendition from funkytime.

So I headed of to my local Rona and figured no problems I can build this.  So far I have got the general frame build and just need to add on a bottom shelf and a few other things.  Guess I better start shopping for some fun fabrics.

Project Playhouse #5

After a crazy weekend of parades and kids activities I managed to throw in a couple of hours to finish up the trim in the playhouse.  

I am so excited at how good the floors turned out.  The look on my boys faces when they seen it was sheer enjoyment.  

Project Playhouse #4 ~ The Floors

It's time to do the flooring, so after alot of thought on what to do I decided to go with painted Diamonds.  First I made a cardboard template and then found the center of the room and started tracing out my pattern.

Notice my husbands message on the cardboard

Next Step was taping out the lines, because this is on brushed concrete I am expecting to do some touch-ups once the tape is taken off. 

Time to start painting, will post pictures soon.

For The Love Of Camping

Well this weekend there was no painting, decorating or crafting but there was a whole lot of fun to be had.  This weekend was the first one of the season to break out the trailer and hit the road for a little Fun, Family & Friends.

The kids had such a good time, we had a total of 13 kids there this weekend and they were all as dirty as they could get and had a ton of fun.
