Elephant Baby Shower Banner

I am hosting a baby shower for a good friend of mine here in Mattawa in May and I didn't want to feel rushed with any of the details at the last minute so I've decided to start early!

The colors of her daughters Nursery are teal, grey and yellow with chevron.

I had seen a few banner on Pinterest and decided to take little ideas from each to make the perfect banner that can be put in Raylee's room later!

I used my Silhouette and printer for the entire thing.  I honestly don't know what I would do without it.

I would have no crafting skills.

This banner is so easy to make.  Copy it, change colors, do whatever you like, I just hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Letter D String Art

My sister watched Evelyn one day while I was at a Dr.  appt and I asked her if there was anything I could make her to "pay" her for babysitting.  She said she wanted a string art sign with the letter D to go above her little boys bed.  The colors of his room are Blue and Green so I got some pallet wood, string and nails and got to work!

I love this piece so much!  She hasn't hung it above his bed yet (we must be related) but even if she never does I think it looks great  on his dresser just like that!

As for me and my house

A friend I went to school with texted me a while ago and asked if I would maker her a sign with the scripture Joshua 24:14 on it and to make it out of pallet wood.  She sent me a picture of one she liked and I altered it a little bit to fit what we were looking for.

I wanted the sign to have a different length board for each line.  Who knew it would be so hard to find 2 pallets with the same kind of wood?  I built the base and coated it with Polyurethane so the grain would stand out.

This is the finished sign!  What do you think?

This was the base before I put the letters on.  I'm always amazed at how much of a difference a coat of Poly makes.

This was another base I made out of stained pine.  Now I just need to decide what I want to do with it.
