More Vinyl Projects

So here are some of my latest masterpieces... haha

This one I didn't quite finish.  

It's a glass brick that I thought I had lots of time to finish before Thanksgiving.  I was going to make the bow all cute, add some flowers, and maybe drill holes for light.  Since Thanksgiving is tomorrow it's unlikely I'll get it all cutesy in time. 


Next is a tile.  Mom wanted this saying and I was just playing around to see what I could come up with.  
If you can't  read it, it says: "When you stop believing you get socks and underwear."

I've told Maren for a few years now if she isn't going to tell Santa what she wants, that is what Santa will bring - socks and panties.  She's never thought it was funny.  

Double paned glass is fun.  
The clarity here is very poor, but I took the picture with my cell phone, so it is what it is.  Don't point out that it's crooked either.  I'm gonna have to re-do this. Where was my laser level when I needed it?
Anyway, this one I layered in chocolate brown and blue (to match my living room).  The blue is kind of hard to read in this picture.
 It says, "together we make a family".

Finally, this little guy (actually he's not so little, he's about 21 inches tall).  Isn't he cute?!  
He is going up in the kids bathroom.  

At least I think he's adorable.




I'm hoping to get off my keester and get my website done soon.  I'll add a link once it's done.

Things that truly matter

Yes, I guess I have spent a lot of time feeling sorry for me lately.  Sometimes it's helpful to be reminded of what really matters in life.  
I was looking at some ward members blogs tonight and found this photo of Coop linked to a newspaper article.  He's warming up to play Taps for a young service member - a ward member.  


Coop got orders this week.  He'll be leaving some time in January and will be gone a year.  

It really starts putting things into perspective....

Rise

Some of you know I've had an interesting week. I needed a lift-me-up and I love this song. I think I especially like it because I got to "hang" with Jamie Jones in Japan (you might remember him as the lead vocal from All4One).  Just a really, really nice family man.  

Anyway, hope you like this!
