Silent on here, but crafting away!

I ordered this print from a etsy site for our MOPS graduations gifts. I love the print and the verse was perfect since it is from the passage our theme was based on. I have a whole bunch of oak frames my MIL gave me, but not really an oak fan-so spray paint, a little antiquing and now it is white:) I also didn't have the budget for new matting so I used the old cream matting and painted it grey.I love old mason jars especially the aqua ones-but oh my can they be pricey-recently saw some in the glass case at Goodwill for $20!! So I made my own using glass paint. I did a number of them to use as vases. they are a little brighter than I originally planned, but they give a nice pop of color.
I made a birthday countdown-the print was a free download from a blog and I painted an oak:) frame white and now using a overhead marker we can count down the days! Daddy's birthday is next so we will start with his-it should be good practice too for joey's number recognition.
I am going a little crazy making these paper flowers-not sure if it is because of the weather we are having or what! I love them-so easy and so fun. I made them last summer for a friend's baby shower-this time I am making them with skewers attached so you can put them in a vase. I think next I will attempt to make them on a wreath-we shall see.
the tall vase/jar is a craft we did in MOPS this year. I also made the cake platter using the same technique-E6000 glue and a candlestick, and platter. I found the "cheese lid" at Goodwill missing its platter, but it works perfect on top! I also made the meringues-boy do the boys LOVE them! We made a Pavlova twice last week-topped with fresh fruit and whip cream-yummers!!

I have been pretty quite on here-just seems to take so much time to upload pictures and such, but none the less I have been crafting pretty steadily:) It seems right now I am at a place with the boys that working on a few projects is ok-they are constantly wanting to craft too, but able to be more independent and allow me to do the same. I have pics of most of the stuff I have been doing, but not instructions.
