My Crafty Corkboard

My supplies and what it looked like before I started. I had been surfing craft blogs for the last couple days and I have been wanting to do something, but either don't have everything you need or lack the creativity. So today I was in a crafty mood. I sat literally for a couple hours trying to think of what to make to curb this crafting mood.. lol Then I remembered I had this frame and matboard that had taylor's picture in but the glass had broke and I had cork pieces Mark had bought a year ago that I just used tacky tape to stick to my kitchen wall. Hmmmm WHY NOT PUT them together!!! So thus my creativity flowed and I was able to fulfill my craving of crafts! (Don't mind my counter clutter, my craving to do a craft winned cleaning that up) ha ha ha ha


The matboard before I decoupaged(sp)

Pretty scrapbooking paper I had...

Finished project!!! I glued color matching buttons to push-pins...SUPER easy and SUPER cute!!!

Another view of it!!! My camera flashed so there is a glare cause my mod podge is glossy when it dries..LOL

Now just have to find a home for it!!!

Spring beauty VS Allergies

I love Spring and all the beautiful weather and flowers. I wish I could really enjoy it to the fullest but I can't. There is one problem ALLERGIES!!! I suffer as well as everyone else in my family including my children w/Allergies. We usually have to stay inside during Spring months cause we can't handle the sneezing, coughing, not being able to breathe cause asthma is acting up (only me), and the endless use of Kleneex. I think we could be RICH and buy stock in Kleneex and T.P(when we run out of Kleneex) cause we use it SOOO MUCH!!!
I think this invention would be AWESOME!!!! Just reach up and pull some down...no need to search for it or ask everyone where the tissue box is at...It would be so convenient..
This of course is how I feel!! I would be better off at another planet!! (during spring) lol

Oh the endless sneezing!! Have you ever sneezed and caused yourself to have hiccups?? Well that is my life story...My allergies are so bad that my asthma acts up, and I sneeze soo much that I usually have hiccups all the time..Soo annoying....

My relief!!! I can take Benadryl but that makes me sleepy and I usually take that if I forget to take singulair but at night since my allergies for some reason is even worse at night. I have woke myself up from itching my throat...Singulair when I remember to take it helps me w/my asthma since it gets triggered by my allergies...So I do feel like the lady in the pic running w/arms wide open w/no care in the world...(okay maybe that is strecthing it but I feel good and feel normal and can function..)

So as much as I love spring and all it's beauty...I just wish allergies wouldn't be a problem or a issue but since I have had to live w/this since I can remember. It will just be an ongoing complaint. ha ha ha Unfortuately (sp) since Mark and I both have allergies we have passed them down to our kids. The doctor had said if one parent has it your child has a small chance of getting them..but if both parents have it then your childs chances increases to a positive! So our kids got the short in of the stick and have to suffer...

Hope this spring is better for all of you guys and if you don't suffer from allergies I am jealous of you!!! ha ha ha I'll try to really enjoy the beauty around me and all the great weather!!!

Kids in their sunday clothes

So not much to update...nothing new around here, other than just dealing with everyday stuff. Mark took pics of the kids this past Sunday before we left to church and they look so cute..So I played around w/some fun boarders to make them fun. Sorry this isn't real exciting or in depth but hey sometimes less is more..ha ha ha

P.S Don't pay attention to my un-made bed and my backside....we were literally getting ready for church and Mark was snapping away after each kid was done getting ready...Still cute I think...lol

ENJOY!!
