Home Sweet Home

Do you remember the Photo Letter giveaway I had a couple of weeks ago? Well Jamie was our winner and she chose the word "HOME". Now I did not know at the time but when Jamie was chosen as the winner, she had been through a horrible day. Her home was flooded downstairs. She had come home to find about 2-3 inches of standing water downstairs. Okay here is the kicker.....Jamie was pregnant, has a 20 mo.old child and her husband was out to sea at the time. I felt so sorry for her. I am sure most women can recall how emotional you are that last month anyway, and then the stress of taking care of everything by herself. I am sure it was all just a bit overwhelming. I was glad that she had won and made me feel as if maybe I was able to give her a little bit of sunshine that week. 

After choosing her colors of earthtones, this is what I created for her........

I found a qoute about home or families to embellish each letter with.

 From the colors she described to me that are in her living room, I believe it should play off well together .

I really love this patterned paper on the M that she chose. It blends everything just perfectly.

Anxiously I am waiting to see a pic of them hanging with Jamie's favorite photos clipped on them.

Jamie gave birth to a boy shortly after the giveaway so I decided to make her a little something for the baby too. She had no idea I was doing this but I just could not believe everything she had been through those last few weeks of her pregnancy. I wish I could have done more. Plus I love making baby stuff! Here is a peek at it but I will tell you more about it tomorrow.

 Have a great evening and do not forget to enter the Halloween Bucket Giveaway if you have not already. We choose a winner Sunday evening.

Photo Letters Giveaway!

My friend  Robin is expecting her grandchild Zoey to arrive soon. Fortunately I was able to finish up the letters for Ms. Zoey.  I loved the colors her parents picked out for the nursery - lime green and lavender with a hint of yellow. They also put Tinkerbell in the room so one of the quotes I put on the letters is about fairies and little girls. It seemed appropriate. Other embellishments are buttons, ribbons, photo clips, flowers, a butterfly and simple words like Cherish and Joy. I am sure they will look delightful once they are hanging on the wall with some of Zoey's pictures attached to them, don't you? 

Now I did promise a giveaway and I am just tickled to offer it to you. It is the.....

Love, Hope, Joy or Home. These are 6 in wooden letters with  pre-drilled holes for hanging. Every letter comes with a clip waiting to display your treasured photos.

A Decor Statement

Boys are all that I know at my house. They are noisy, full of energy, collect rocks, sticks and compete over everything. I made these letters to celebrate what our boys are.

I recently fell in love with making letters to spell out names or words but then decided we could take them a step further by attaching clips to hold pictures and embellishments.

It works really well because you can change the pictures out as your subject grows or as a new season blows in.

I am not sure if the words enhance the pictures or vice versa

but I know together it can tell a great story.

This is what decor should be.....a statement....a story about the people and things you love.

I am linking these letters to these great parties:
