The bear is from some clip art that I converted to an SVG file and added layers...and mounting tape to give him dimension. I was pleased how he turned out.<br />

She was deployed out of the country when her first was born and I never made her a baby plaque. So when she showed interest in a plaque for the second, I offered to make one for each, then we worked with "The Parents Express" to deliver them. Looking forward to hearing of the arrival of baby Sydney!<br />

I had made a similar <a href="http://sparethymeink.blogspot.com/2012/03/subway-art-baby-plaque.html">plaque</a> a couple of years ago for her first son and she requested a matching one for baby Cru. I bought the frames to paint a few years ago and am out of them....hopefully baby three is a girl so we can work with something different :)<br />

I've been taking photos of my own children for 16 years. This summer I finally upgraded my camera, and started taking photos of friends' babies. I discovered that all my years of paper crafting has really prepared me for this! Color, composition, Photoshop, backdrop engineering...it all works together to help make beautiful portraits. Now I just have to learn the business side of things...feel free to check out <a href="http://thymeofyourlifephotography.blogspot.com/">Thyme of Your Life Photography</a>'s blog to see some of the adorable babies and children.<br />
<br />
On another note...I'm still making baby plaques. Personalization has always been important to me. I just shipped a plaque to a friend whom the military has moved across the country. She was the first one I made a plaque for. This is the fourth plaque I've given to her. Baby Isaac is due quite soon! She didn't know I was sending it, so am hoping it gets there in one piece and is a happy surprise.<br />

During the evening, a friend shared about comparing ourselves with each other and how we're all gifted differently...and that is OKAY. Be grateful for who God made you to be. <br />

We tried to set the evening up so that those who are Pinterest fanatics and those who have a life outside of Pinterest could both enjoy the evening. We had a potluck where we encouraged bringing a recipe that was pinned, found on the internet or even just a recipe clipped from a magazine. We also had a show and tell and made a couple of crafts.<br />
<br />
I decorated the tables with Mason Jar projects from Pinterest and quotes I've enjoyed. All the projects are pinned on my <a href="http://pinterest.com/sparethymeink/pinterest-party/">Pinterest Party Board</a>.<br />
<br />
I had a table with jars for candles... <br />

We are so proud of his hard work, but most of all, his heart! We wanted to mark the occasion with a party and ceremony.<br />
<br />
For the ceremony, We just invited close family...I shared something, gave Nate-the-Graduate his diploma, he shared something, then his dad shared and challenged him. After that we prayed for him. It wasn't very long, but we wanted it to feel official and personalized.<br />
<br />
I talked to someone about helping me develop a party theme, but they suggested how easy it is just to do a basic "grad" theme with school colors etc. I was thinking..."We haven't done school the 'normal' way yet, why start now?"<br />

I talked to Nate-the-Graduate about it, mentioning a Star Wars theme. He kinda liked that. (Did I ever mention he named his car the Millennium Falcon?) Then I had the idea of a One Smart Cookie party...(His grandma told him he was a smart cookie when he was two and he replied that he was a Snickerdoodle.) We compromised with a "One Smart Wookiee" party.<br />

Another facet to Nate-the-Graduate is he has Celiac Disease. He is very strict with keeping gluten out of the food he eats. Parties and potlucks are usually pretty hard for him. Since it was his day, we chose all gluten free foods. That way we didn't even have to worry about cross contamination. Most of the foods we purchased...like fresh vegis, cheese and meat.<br />

My mom made meatballs using gluten free oats instead of bread crumbs and I baked a ton of gf cookies. I love to substitute regular flour with the recipe for <a href="http://www.silvanaskitchen.com/silvanas-kitchen-all-purpose-gluten-free-flour/">Silvanna's Mix GF Flour.</a> I can use it basically cup for cup with my own cookie recipes.<br />

Notice the Death Star Watermelon. Snagged that idea off of <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/174092341818077553/">Pinterest</a> :) I used masking tape to guide my edges as I carved the rind using the Pampered Chef zester. My daughter went back and filled in the vertical lines as I was going cross eyed! It was a huge hit at the party.<br />

I actually finished the last touch up of paint this morning. I had a blast seeing the vision become reality.<br />
<br />
My daughter and I were sitting in the nursery one Sunday morning, playing with the babies discussing what we would do to update the room. It had an awesome Noah's Ark mural theme, that had been painted about 9 years ago. It was getting pretty beat up and change sounded fun. We started taking notes...<br />
<br />
A couple of weeks later, the children's ministry director mentioned to us that she was thinking of updating the nursery and wondered if we could come up with some ideas. I handed her the list. :)<br />
<br />
After the week long project turning into three...here are the results. I think my favorite change is the odd little room as it became a cottage, especially the window box!<br />

I cut these out during the Summer Olympics, placed the pieces in muffin tins, which I covered with Glad PressNSeal wrap and then while watching during the evenings, I assembled them. They came out so cute, but boy did they have itty bitty pieces! <br />
<br />
It is a huge challenge for me to break from the colors I see in the main photos. Not too adventurous, I guess. I lived a bit on the wild side in a few of these...even changing the blue suggestion for purple. I know, crazy, huh?<br />

Then I spray painted the metal pieces. I chose not to paint the "works" of the machine because 1. I didn't refer back to the original pin to see that they had and 2.I wanted it to function and I was afraid the paint would jam the mechanism.<br />
<br />
While waiting for the paint to dry, I worked...and worked...and worked on getting the Jelly Belly logo off the glass. <i>THAT</i> did <i>NOT</i> go well! I tried acetone, steel wool, turpentine, soaking it, scrubbing it, sanding it. I finally got most of the evidence off that the logo was ever there, but it left the glass scratched and foggy. <br />

I cut some coordinating vinyl to cover the scratched parts and labeled it treats. Had to take a couple of darts in the oval to get it to lay somewhat flat.</div>

Gave this as a gift to my Sister in Law for her birthday.

Some friends threw a "Puppy Shower" for them. Because I make a baby plaque for each shower I go to, this was no exception.<br />

I also went and found the biggest dog dish I could and decorated it with vinyl. It wasn't a shower gift...actually it was a birthday present for my bro, but thought I could share it here.<br />
