Domesticity

I know I've been absent from the blogosphere for awhile...but I'm making a comeback. Now that I've reclaimed my life and have only ONE job in addition to grad school, I've had time to rediscover life and hobbies (novel idea!). I've been busy crafting and cooking and have become completely addicted to crafty blogs.

I have a long list of projects to try, courtesy of all those creative domestic divas out there. Most of my projects so far are intended as Christmas gifts, so I can't share quite yet. But here's a gift I made for my Nana, inspired by Heritage Unwrapped's post HERE.



A 2x4, cut into blocks at Jerry's, some spray paint, a little Mod Podge and scrapbook paper, and voila! Fun little tip I discovered: to make the letters in "family" metallic and sparkly, I sprinkled silver embossing powder on the wet paint and then used my heat gun to set it.



More to come soon as I continue exploring my crafty side. =)
