Crafty, crafty, crafty!

Goodness, it has been another good while since I've posted anything!  Life and responsibilities always seems to get in the way.  Anywho, I've worked on a few projects since the last time I posted so here they are!  I'm going to end up having to post a second entry to talk about one of my projects in more detail, but please check it all out and enjoy!


Painted silver tray for a friends birthday!

My co-supervisor retired this past week!  We threw her a camping themed retirement party complete with airstream camper invitations, picnic blankets, cast iron skillets as serving pieces and mason jars!  I made a few of the decorations such as the invites, food labels, the banner and Texas wood piece!
The lovely selection of food and the banner I made for her!  All of our co-workers chipped in to give her a wonderful cash going away present!

This was a first, I wanted to try out my ModgePodge photo transfer medium to see if it worked out!  Good news and bad news-- It worked great in the sense that it transferred the photo beautifully! It did not, however, dry clear like I expected it to and I had to make a boarder around it so that you couldn't see it quite as well.  Some of the white was removed using nail polish remover, but rather than risk screwing up the picture, I just stuck with the outline idea.  It was a learning experience; now I know! 

We all signed the back so that she could take us all with her to Mississippi!
