I Heart My Daddy

We made this cute little T-shirts using Avery Light Fabric Transfer paper. It worked great...only I probably did not use enough pressure especially around the edges:(  Evidently heat and pressure are your friends:) But all in all very easy and a great project to let you kids help with. They really enjoyed picking out and putting the bling on them. (Unfortunaly my picture taking is lacking).

Hello Again

 I apologize for falling off the edge of the earth LOL! You know how life just kinda gets in the way well it has been getting in my way a lot lately. But it is time to get back into the groove...to be perfectly honest I was beginning to feel really frustrated that I could not seem to get my blogging on. But I have come to realize that it is what it is...I am doing this for enjoyment not to see how many followers/comments/kudos/etc...that I can get. This is a place where I can post my thoughts, creativity or whatever else I choose to do...my little corner of the world. So there you have it my thought for the day:)
