Ok, about forever ago I promised you a post on our little excursion back from Il. And I am finally holding to that promise...better late than never, right?Well, it was this guy that encouraged us to go to Mt. Rushmore....He is our history buff and since it was only adding another day and a half to our trip....we thought "let's do it."The day we were there was GORGEOUS...not too hot or too cold and the sky was clear and blue. We went early in the morning (which I would recommend...by 11 am it ... View the Post
A Clown Treat
Did you ever have these clown cones at Baskin Robbins when you were little? They were definately a special treat in our family...but I loved when we got them. So, for the August birthday celebration, I decided that is was time to add some icecream cone clowns to our family celebration. If you want to make some, here's how I did mine. Using your icecream scoop, drop rounded icecream scoops into cupcake liners and stick a cone on top. Refreeze. Then frost with star tip. I used this ... View the Post

Fabric Filled Frames
I made these little fabric filled frames awhile back from a fat quarter of Amy Butler fabric I had been hoarding. I really love this print and wanted to use it in a way that I could enjoy it for a long time. So I spray painted some dollar store frames and filled them with pieces of the fabric, a little bit of doilie and some wooden birds. And soon they will be hanging down here in the basement family room where they will match all the crazy colored furniture and help to liven up the boring ... View the Post
