Happy Shopping!!!

I have been away too long!!!!

So I know I've been away for awhile...busy, busy, busy!! I am one step away from finishing Kristina's clock, so excited! I am completing a wedding invitation order for this Friday, super cute!! I have been working on the next workshop (a 2 page layout)...and I started a new project making signs :D As my existing projects start to wind down I plan to re-organize my craftiness and start setting some goals. So stay tuned!! Here's a pic of my first sign....

My Newest Creation

Here is my newest creation! I'm kind of in love with it :)
They are imperfect due to the surfaces of the stone, but I think that adds even more to the overall look.
I'm going to keep playing around with the design, but as of right now these will be available as coasters, wall decor, and desk decorations. The absolutely beautiful model is my youngest son Caleb...

They are available in light or dark stone. What do you think??

My Projects This Past Week

I have been a busy, busy bee!! This past week I have been working on a 24x24 personalized wall clock for a beautiful family (no sneak peeks yet!), finished an invitation party for the amazing Hercamp family, and designed a desert recipe book cover for my churches wonderful women's ministry. Whew! All that on top of taking care of the kiddo's, hubby, dogs, house, and my gorgeous husband celebrated his 32nd birthday!! Life is good & I am so blessed :)

Sorry for the blurry pic, took it with my camera phone :)

Here is the recipe cover...if you are interested in purchasing a Just Dessert Recipes book please visit the SSD Women's Ministry FB page  or email Becky bbaker130@aol.com

Ever wondered what 300 pieces of cardstock looked like?

This adorable invitation was designed with the bride's theme being a Tiffany's Box. More pic's of this coming soon!!

The Imperfect Stone

This was a project that kept me awake creating in my head for a few nights. It would've looked much better if I would've had the right wood working tools, but unfortunately I had to use what was available. The recipient of the gift was however very gracious :) Hopefully someday soon I will be available to extend my tool box!

I wrote the accompanying poem as well...

The Imperfect Stone

When God created the mountains

He did not use the perfect stone

Instead He gathered the flawed ones
From wherever they were strewn

Together they were built up
And set upon the solid ground
A foundation that grew stronger
The tighter they were bound

From these flawed imperfect stones
The mighty mountains rose
Trusting in God’s loving hand
Afraid of no storm that blows

We are those flawed imperfect stones
Gently gathered by God’s hand
Strengthened by the love He gives
Together we will stand

Though the hands of time will change
And storms surround us too
Our family will grow closer
Knowing God will bring us through
