recent creations

I'm so excited about my clock I just made! I've had plans to make it for a year, but I finally got a spare minute, and completed it. Here's a couple pictures, and up close too to see the crackle marble effect.





I made some bows for Sabrina last week with my sisters, they're kinda fun too. I used to make headbands when she was younger, but she finally has enough hair to clip now!




Here's some pictures of my oil paintings I did (with the help of my mom of course) My mom is super talented, and she helped me with these paintings that now hang in my dining room. I'll cherish these forever.





This Jackson family wood craft was kinda fun. You just hinge together pieces of wood, decorate, and modge podge on top. The basic format was from a super saturday activity, and I ran with it. I've made another fun one as a wedding gift as well.



I've really enjoyed this calender I made. I saw it in a magazine, and just altered it to my liking. (However, I will never make another one. I helped make this calender with 3 of my sisters, then when my friends saw it, they wanted one too, and I helped make 2 more.) I use it sort of as a journal, and record cute things about Sabrina on it, or accomplishments and news of our family.



I'll have to post some pics of scrapbook pages I've done lately, but I haven't done any in the last 6 months. Enjoy!

Thanks for the bow lesson--I'll probably need to come over again and see how to do the ones that Sabrina had in her hair yesterday. I love these bows!
