Baby Food Jars EVERYWHERE!

It is common knowledge, or at least I think it is, that you should never throw away baby food jars. I really have no idea why these tiny jars are considered so precious, but I still kept most of them. After collecting quite a few, I have finally decided to make some use out of them.

I dripped some acrylic paint down the side of the jars and I rotated them until they were completely coated in paint. Rotating gave them a swirled effect. Once they were completely coated I just tipped them over and let the excess paint drip out. Easy as that.

 

I'm not sure what I am going to do with them, but for now they work great as pen holders. 

I also made a new page in Bubba's scrapbook. I'm not sure how I feel about it. It's kind of lame. LOL

I wanted to incorporate all of his hospital memorabilia, so I titled the page "the wardrobe of a newborn". The pennant banner on the left-hand side is made from his hospital blanket. The circle you see in the upper left corner is a picture of him as a newborn, wearing his hat.

I'll update again once I have added more. Adios!

Bubba's Scrapbook

I never wanted to have a traditional baby book for my children, so when I was pregnant with Bubba I decided that I would make him a scrapbook instead. Well, almost 9 months later and I am finally getting started! Go me! I'm such an over achiever, I know. (For those of you that don't know me and my sense of humor, I am extremely sarcastic).

 

I'm not sure what I'm going to put on the second page yet, but I'll figure it out. I better keep this short, though. Bubba is tearing the Christmas tree apart as I type! Bye for now!

The Family

I mentioned in the last post that I would introduce my family next, so here we go! (I am going to refrain from using actual names due to online predators and what not. I'd like to keep my child safe.)

First I will introduce myself: I am a mother, girlfriend, crafter, and now blogger.

 

Next up is "Duglokk": level 80 troll shaman and level 100 awesome dad. Yes, he told me to type that. All you WoW players hit him up.

And the best of all is our little "Bubba": a rambunctious 8 (almost 9) month old that loves to keep us on our toes.

That's all I've got for this time!

My first post!

I'm sure nobody is reading this considering I just created this blog about 20 minutes ago, but I gotta start somewhere! I'll start off by sharing what I am envisioning this blog to become.

I plan on blogging about my adventures through motherhood, good and bad. Since I live away from family for the first time in my life, I feel like this blog will be a great way to stay connected with everyone back home and give them a little peek at what is going on in our lives.

I also plan on blogging about any crafts or projects that I am working on. I have some creative genes and I really enjoy trying out all sorts of DIY projects. I may even post some tutorials on here if I ever have time.


Well, that's wraps up my first post! I'll introduce the little family in the next one.
