Happy Birthday Jen!

I made this vase for a great friend by cutting out words and pics that remind me of her from old magazines. A couple coats of polyurethane and some funky flowers complete the arrangement. Definitely something different! Pin It

Ahh...the simple things in life

I really like this picture for some reason. I took it while hiking in the Sipsey wilderness! Can't wait to go again when it gets warmer. Happy Friday! Pin It

Recycled vinyl record bowls

I have been wanting to do this project for a long time if you can call it that. It is so easy. Take your favorite record (or one you don't even like) and center it on top of an upside down metal bowl. Put it in the oven for 5 minutes at 225 degrees and then pull it out and shape it anyway you want! I had about 1-2 minutes of time to sculpt the vinyl before it hardened again. Makes an awesome retro gift or centerpiece. You can also pin them up on the wall as a sculpture. Pin It

SNOW in Alabama!!!

We finally got a little of the white stuff in Birmingham Saturday morning and it was awesome. Dusty loved it... rolled in it, ate it, chased it. It was definitely fun while it lasted and although more than 2 days have passed and most all of it has melted, our snowlady still stands tall. Pin It

I won! I won!

Last night I went to a Lead Out Dinner at The Club in Birmingham featuring Braves pitcher John Smoltz as the guest speaker. I was interested in going but I had no clue it was going to be as fun as it was. Smoltz was a great speaker BUT the real news here is that we got to attend a silent auction for charity in which I won AN AUTOGRAPHED AUBURN TIGERS BO JACKSON #34 FOOTBALL JERSEY!!!!!!!!!!!! That made my night. I am so excited to get it framed and wanted to post some pics to show off my prize! Pin It

War Damn Eagle!

Momma Goldberg's in Homewood opened two weeks ago and I have already gone a couple times. I have to say the food tastes just as good as it does in Auburn. Momma's Love (no mayo) and an order of nachos with peppers - Mmmmmmmmm! They are a little slow on getting beer and they need some ambiance but I'm sure that will all come in time. Pin It

Christmas Rose Topiaries

I decided to do something different and fun this year and give a couple of flower arrangements away as gifts. They were really fun to make and I think they turned out pretty good. One is made out of a mixed nuts can and is surrounded by candy cane sticks held together by a rubber band covered by a ribbon. The other arrangement is a recycled glass vase with the peppermints superglued directly to it. I used white roses from Whole Foods (which some people call Whole Paycheck but I think their flowers are beautiful) and red berries from my front yard! The long stems are held in place with floral foam and a bit of wire covered in ribbon. Pin It

Hello!

So here I am. I decided to start this blog due to a mixture of my constant internet usage and imminent boredom. It will really just be a place to keep my art, photos, and thoughts that I hope someone out there will enjoy...unless of course you are a sicko. Pin It
