Changes Again!

Okay, so my life is getting busier, so I have changed the "Pin of the Day" to "Pin of the Week", and I've added another new tab of Misc. things that I've made, for those of you who are interested and like my stuff.  Also I'd like to note that I will be getting a new camera probably around June, so my pictures will hopefully come out better.  (My daughter broke my good one so we're back to the old one.)  And I won't be doing much crafting this week until probably this weekend, due to m daughter just had her birthday and she has trashed my house wit all her new toys, and I've been kind of slacking because I've been crafting! :) And tons of numerous things and changes going on (I have toddler!) So and we're preparing for the summer and daycare, like said tons of stuff going on! One more thing it's in my top priorities to make tutorials on here, so that's still going to be coming this week! Yay!

Additions

Just added 2 new sites for you guys to check out and also I added a "For Kids" tab at the top, I decided to add this for parents who want to make stuff for their kids and their rooms or have your kids do a little craft project of their own!  Now, granted I probably won't be adding anything until the end of this weekend.  I have a project I've been working, well 3 at once (lol), and I've been bent on get those finished so I can share them with you and give some "How To's".  So just hang in there. :)

Hey!!!

Just wanted to let everyone know I should be adding some "How To's", a "Don't buy it when you can make it" and hopefully a "Trash to Treasure" by the end of this weekend! :)

The "Inspiration Aquarium"

Originally, I was trying to do this (from Pinterest):

And I didn't like the way my wax melted and I just left it out and looked at it and my boyfriend walked in the kitchen to check it out and he says "Babe, it looks like an under the sea thing" so there I went with that theme. (A plus to it was because my 2 yr. old is obsessed with fish. lol)

 And let me tell you, this was the biggest pain in the butt, EVER!!!  I went and got a 16x20 shadow box, for a 16x20 canvas, well inside the shadow box, it ISN"T 16x20.  So I chip away some of the wood in the shadow box (can't take it back now), still doesn't fit, then busted it, but still doesn't fit.  So I had to cut off the canvas fabric, cut down that wood, sand it, staple it back together, FITS!!!, and then nail the box back together, and finally hot glue the things that popped off back on and add some from chipping off some wax...
Like I had the biggest pain EVER! If you're interested in a "How To" leave me a comment, if you're brave enough to take this on! lol

Introductions

Hi there, a quick bio, and some info about my blog:  I'm Shana, I've recently gotten back into crafting, I done 4-H for the whole 10 years, won trophies, gotten first place at the state fair, so FYI my stuff's legit. :)  I'm now 25, been a stay at home mom for a few months due to thyroid problems, and because of those problems is how I got my mojo back!  My "main" talent that I really have an "eye" for is collage art.  On anything and everything.  That's my main thing, along with recycling, turn trash into treasure.  Being a stay at home mom, having a kid, and one income is expensive.  So a lot of my ideas / projects affordable, I won't say easy because I don't know you, or if my projects are gonna be your "thing".  Like for example, I can sew, sewing looks easy when my mom does it, but for me it is difficult and frustrating.  I will also note too, if you have ideas for constructing things differently always try it.  For example, if I try to recreate something, I can't usually go by it's directions, I'm already crafty so if I have any clue, I usually do it "my way", otherwise I screw it up.  Just wanna throw that out there in case you are like me.  But I will post directions ALWAYS as detailed as possible and will always answer questions.  I will also be posting stuff that I found on Pinterest that is awesome as suggestions and my recreations of some of those as well, and of course from other places I'm sure.  So I hope you enjoy!

Coming Soon!

Sorry my Blog is under construction, but I hope to have it up and running by the 1st of April and no it's not a pre-April fool's day joke! :)
