Busy and Blessed!

Real life has taken me away from creating minis lately...I have 4 kids going in 4 different directions!  I have one actually on a plane as I type to do missionary work in Africa, I have a girl who turns the big 13 tomorrow, I have an 8 year old I am finishing up school with (I home school) and last but now least a 22 year old that is busy getting a photography business going!  Whew! I am busy and blessed!   I have finally started a new project this week...I will post as I go if I can!  I can't wait to go the show in Chicago in a couple of weeks!  If you are going let me know I would love to meet you in person!  We need name tags or something!!!  For now here are some cute  black and white pictures I "shabbied" up!  Hope to see some of you in Chicago! 




Have a blessed week!  Kim

Hurry Up Spring!!!!!

Flip-flops, hot sun,  Lilacs in my backyard, white sand, Tulips, and jumping on the trampoline...I am ready for summer!!!!  March is closing in quickly and that means spring really is on its way!!  I even have been crafting things that remind me of spring!  Here are fresh fruits presented on a shabby angel stand.....fresh strawberries definitely should have been on my list!!!!  (dipped in chocolate of course!)

Vintage Decorative Eggs

I found some really cute vintage images and have been trying to think of something unique to do with them.  This is what I came up with.....  .....I thought they would be cute in a doll house either for Easter or just for display.  My daughters and I are going to give the real thing a try  in the next couple of weeks!.....

OOOO-LA LA.....................

Traditional Pound Cake with Strawberries.....

How about a slice of buttermilk pound cake sprinkled with powdered sugar and topped with strawberries and chocolate hearts?



Go ahead and have two pieces, it is not only gluten-free it also has no calories or fat! Wow, the perfect desert! (a girl can dream!)

More Chocolate..............................

I can always use a little more chocolate......it is definitely my favorite food group (okay, it should be a food group!)   Here are a few little Valentine's filled with one of my favorite things!

Family Album.......

    For Christmas this year my husband bought me a new printer so for one of my first projects I decided to take some of my family's pictures and make them into a mini photo album for my girl's doll house.  I sewed and glued the pages, shrunk and cut out each picture and glued them in so it would look like a real scrap book.  I shrunk some cards and other memorabilia as well. Here are a few pages for you to look at!

I pray your New Year is starting out beautifully!  Mini Blessings!, Kim
