Brought to you by the letter "L"

My husband is gone for two weeks to annual training with the National Guard and I've had a long weekend and had all these plans to scrap as much as possible, HA.......... I've made a total of two cards and 1 page layout using the Project Life idea, you know slip your pictures in, write a little journaling, cute it up a little and you're done.  I did get one project done though, a monogram plaque representing my new last name.  I used a wooden plaque from Hobby Lobby, some light blue acrylic paint, a scrap of light blue from Basic Grey, a damask rub-on, and the L chipboard, also from HL and then just tied a ribbon to hang it from.  I really liked how it turned out and it was super easy!!!  You should totally make one for yourself....really you should! ;)

He's Aliiive!!

Yeah, I know....wrong monster...lol, but it works for this cute little guy!! This is Horace, I painted him about 10 years ago, ya know, when tole painting was the hot hobby of the day. Well poor Horace has been shoved under my bed for those 10 years. Arms and legs in one bag, head and body in the other bag, just waiting patiently to be assembled. I did pull him out last year..........looked at him, thought..."oh, he's so cute, I really need to finish him," then shoved him back under the bed with the dust bunnies to keep him company. I vowed to get him done for this Halloween, and YAY...he's done!!! He's ready for trick or treating with his flashlight and candy pail. The shorts...I got at the thrift store, size 2T lol. I love his big toe stickin out of his shoe and his little friend pokin out of his pocket....too cute!!! Well, I can sigh with relief, knowing that I fullfilled my duty and got him done!!
