Fall Centerpiece...

Another one of my mom many talents... flower arranging! She surprised me with this for my kitchen table... I love it!

Come In For A Spell...

 My moms cute front porch...

 Fall flowers...

 Autumn wood letters...

I thought I would post some of my moms newest and cutest fall decor. The top picture is of my mom and dads front porch and their awesome welcome post the designed and made. Last Saturday afternoon my mom came down and we designed  the "Come In For A Spell" sign and on the back is the Thanksgiving side (I love two-fers). I will post pictures when she turns it around.... I love how she used the cute scarecrows and hay bales to complete her porch. Thanks mom for sharing your talents!

Dad's Orange Creations...

 Here are a few more pictures of my dad's

The last one is a cute rabbit it made using toothpicks

Orange Slice Designs...

I had to show you that my talents don't just come from my mom.  These are a few of my dad's orange creations.  When my mom and I went to Boise a few weeks ago on the way home she called my dad to tell him when to expect us and asked if he would mind peeling her an orange.  I started teasing her about having dad do that... her comment was... you should see some of the designs he makes for me.  So I asked her to take some pictures so I could share them too! Here is a few of them!  On a different note about the men in my life... I have to laugh at Josh... he's been head vaccumer in our house lately and when I come home from work I'm excited to see  what design he has created in the carpet.  He does the same thing with our grass.. he mows it in different directions each and every time.  Thank you both for adding a smile to my day!

*** added 4/10/11 ~ my mom just informed me that my dad peals here an orange each and every day... and told me how much she enjoys his beautiful creations! ***

Spring Chicken...

I wanted to post a few of my moms recent projects.  I love the chick... she's so cute with the feather coming out of the top of her head... The body is scrapbook paper that she Modge Podged onto the wood... she had my dad drill a small hole in the top  of the egg to glue the feather into and the sparkly glitter on the beak and feet are too  cute! The egg frame turned adorable!  She had painted the background and the grass different colors and after it was done... changed it to these.  I think it looks so much better! I love the cute little dragonfly and the butterfly along with the pink netting for the finishing touch!  Thanks mom for sharing especially since your daughter hasn't crafted in a month!

Also look how cute the Spring letters look. The "S" has patteren

Altered Metal Patriotic Star

 

 I chose to do a solid color with the pattern paper on each point.

Mom made hers using the "mirror image" of pattern papers.

Modge Podge the paper to the star, one final Modge Podge coat

(2 light coats) then 2 coats of sealer and
