My First Glass Etching Project: Bridal Shower

Hello everyone.  One of my closest friends is getting married in May and my girls are the flower girls :)  They are so excited to wear their wedding dresses (as they call them).

Her bridal shower was this past weekend and I have been wanting to try glass etching.  So I did a very simple glass etching on a glass baking dish as part of the gift.  I used Alpahlicious to cut the letters out of vinyl.  I was really impressed with how simple it is and can't wait to do more!

 I also made a very simply card using Artiste for the bow and Art Philosophy for the background.

Here are some pictures.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you have a crafty day!

Mady's First Day of Preschool

So my youngest finally had her first day of preschool today.  She loved it although there were a few tears shed (mostly by me) but I think for her she really just whined for a second as I left.  When we left and I was crying a little my husband asked me if I wanted to go get a puppy.  I said why so I can have one more thing in the house who doesn't listen to what I say, LOL.  Maybe one day.  She was so happy when I picked her up and was telling me all about her day.

Last year when he sister went to preschool I decorated her bag by using my Imagine so I decided to break it out (it has not been used since last September...yikes) and decorate Mady's too.  It actually came out much better because I learned a lesson or two when I did Ally's last year.  I used Alphalicious for the letters and Best Friends for the little girl.  I think I may make my nieces some pillows this year for Christmas using this cartridge and the iron on.  It is so cute and really so easy.  It would be a good excuse to open my sewing machine that I have never used too!

Here is the bag:

I chose the little girl with the lipstick and girl power shirt because my Mady loves lip gloss but is a strong willed little mama who says she will play football, not be a cheerleader when she gets older.

Mady has not seen it yet but I know she will love it when I show her!

Here is picture of my littlest girl on her first day before the bag was decorated.

Thanks for stopping by, have a crafty day!
