Room decoration idea via Pinterest

So I saw these paper butterfly decorations on Pinterest and had to make my own. Ok, you can call me babyish you like but I adore anything with butterflies on it. I have collected butterfly necklaces since I was a kid as well as anything else with butterflies. So I had to make my own. Since my room is blue themed I made blue ones. You can see my inspiration below.

My version below.

I used our sizzix machine to do the butterfly/dragonfly cut outs. If you do not know what a sizzix machine is then you are in for a treat. its pretty amazing! We love ours and use it for all kinds of things. You can cut out different shapes with paper or even fabric.

I quite like the way it looks and it adds some fun to my room. I will have to add a picture later with my new wall picture above my keyboard. I am so excited about this etsy store purchase!

I sewed with my sewing machine all the paper pieces together in case you were wondering. It was that easy.

God bless and hope it gave someone an idea about how to add some fun to their room.
It took me a while to cut them all out, but it was worth it. Is there any crafts or fun ways you like to spice up your boring room or college dorm?

God bless,

Decopage Project

Hi readers! I was very improv and decided to go ahead and decopage my dresser top Sunday. I had been thinking about doing it for a few weeks. But I was not sure how to decopage and what I would decopage onto my dresser. At first I thought I would do old book pages or hymnal pages, but then I realized I had this old flower book and I used these colored pictures instead.

I bought the flower book at thrift store during the summer when I went with my sister for less an a dollar I think. It was a book about flowers and how they grow and such for kids from the 60s or 70s I think. I love how the dresser top turned out!

I just used elmers blue and water to make a thick paste and I watched some videos on youtube on how to do it. I could not find the video I watched on how to make the paste out of glue and water. Sorry!

So yes my dream of a decopaged dresser is complete! :) Now I want to decopage my book shelves too. Its addicting! :)

Blessings,
Rebecca

Operation Write Home

Hello everyone!

My sister, mother, and I found out about this great thing called Operation Write Home a few months back from Stephanie Ann over at WorldTurnedUpsideDown. We wanted to contribute to this great cause so we made some cards Tuesday. This organization has people send in homemade cards which are shipped to our heros overseas in the war. Then they can send cards to their families, as there are no Hallmark stores over there unfortunately. You can also send them letters of encouragement too.
Here are some photos of us making some Valentines for them to send to their friends and family. You can get in on the fun by going to their  website Operation Write Home.

I hope you are having a lovely day and please do make some cards if you have some supplies and send them their way! I know the soldiers would appreciate your support!

In Christ
Rebecca
