Diaper Cake

My first diaper cake to make. I hosted a Diaper Brunch for one of my church friends this weekend. This is their second child so I thought a Diaper Brunch would be fun since they might have a lot of "changing" to do. I thought the diaper cake turned out good though it was a little smaller than what I had planned. But the brunch was a hit and Mommy racked up a lot of goods!

A Few Things I've Learned When Buying A New Vehicle

Recently we have been in the market for a new vehicle. It makes me remember a few things I've learned personally and through others when it comes to buying a new car.

• A vehicle is NEVER new if it has 500 miles and scratches all over it no matter what the salesman tells you.
• Never stick with just one dealership. Always go between at least two, squeeze them for everything they have, and let the best man when your business.
• Always check for the price of tires when deciding on a vehicle.
• Always make sure that the vehicle has a spare tire... surprisingly, some don't!
• Know your math when they give you a quote. They will take you for being an idiot and make you think you are getting a great deal when you are not. Be on top of their game.

My Dream Craft Room

I was searching around on the internet and came across this craft room. I just love it! How awesome would it be to have something like this with bright colors and everything has its own place! Such a great spot to get inspired for a new project! Maybe one day I will have something like this.

Old DIY Projects

Here are a few DIY projects that I did in the past that I wanted to share. I will try to do better at posting my DIY projects when I finish them instead of waiting half a year :).

This is a DIY wreath project that I did last June. Here is a tutorial on how to make your own!

DIY welcome sign that I painted after seeing one and getting inspiration from it.

A Swimmin' Hole for Our Little Tadpole!

Tristan's nursery that I designed with the help of my family.

Ryan painted the walls and helped me paint the the furniture.

My dad made the boat shelf, the hamper frame, and the wooden fish. My mom sewed the bedding and hamper canvas.

Bedroom Renovation

So my husband and I have been in the process of renovating our bedroom. Ryan found this bed online and decided to build it along with the matching bedside tables.

I found this bedding online that I loved. 

So our bedroom went from this,

 To this!!

More pictures to come when we do more work!

Here are some banner ads I did a few months back for FindSounds.com. FindSounds.com is the leading web search engine for sound effects.  Some people call it the "Google for sounds". The client provided me with the images and text and asked that I come up with the designs.

March for Missions

Longview Heights Baptist Church also asked me to come up with another promo set for March for Missions. This set includes a flyer and t-shirt design but only the flyer is shown.

DNOW 2011 Flyer

Coming in March my church, Longview Heights Baptist Church, will be having DNOW. They asked me to make them a promotional set, including a logo, flyer, cards and t-shirt design. This is what I came up with. Hopefully the design was a big hit with the youth!
