Ok so I said I would start blogging about some of my passions well let me tell you Pinterest has become just that! I'm obessed in a crazy kind of way. If you do not know what Pinterest is, check it out. I wish I knew how to do that "if you wanna read about this click here" but thats little more computer savvy than I am right now but soon...maybe :) So anyway I love all the craft projects, recipes, pictures, everything on there. What I don't like is how once I see a project I feel I can do it. I am not very crafty but I like to pretend to be and now thanks to Pinterest my lack of skill but zeal for want is constantly being fed. The following pictures is not my first attempt at a project I've seen on Pinterest. Months ago I covered our file cabinets in wrapping paper. I'm realizing now that w/o a picture this sounds very bizzare. The front the cabinets are wrapped in the paper. The picture I saw on pinterest used scrapbooking paper, I did not have any on hand (and I try to think I'm a crafty person w/o scrapbook paper, tish tosh) anyway all I had was black & white wrapping paper. It turned out amazingly nice. I told my family just not to use the filing cabinets for the next 6 months :) Now onto the next project. I saw a picture of child's feet painted onto canvas and made to look like reindeer, it also had the year painted on the canvas. I thought "this is really cute but..." I wanted to add something more. So I bought a big piece of canvas. This is so every year we can add footprints to the same piece and watch our lil feet grow. I also bought it the size that I did with the thought if we have more children (hint hint husband) their footprints can be added as well. Thank goodness I have a talented artistic husband. Husband was & is willing to venture into many of my projects. Here is the end result. Not to bad for the first artisic project, if I do say so myself.
Kai wanted to paint as well, so he "painted" a Santa Claus
I got the canvas at Hobby Lobby AND it was 30 % off (another place that makes me think I craftier than I am)
