Announcement...

There were so many fun creative ways to announce our little one so we did them all :).

So easy and cheap to make. Went to Home Depot got a board for around $5 had them cut it down to the size I wanted. Painted it black with regular black paint $.69 and then used paint pens to write what I wanted it to say. Again so easy and cheap!!

Firefighter signs


My husband is a firefighter and was given an award for helping at West, Texas. I wanted to hang up his accomplishments so I decided I would make some firefighter wood boards.

Materials:
All I used were these paint pens
and a 2x2ft thin board from lowes, (had them cut a 24x12in and two 12x12in boards) And used the paint below to stain the boards. 

I painted the boards and then scraped off 
The extra paint to make the boards look like this 
 
I let them dry over night and then googled this firefighter saying to paint on the 24in by 12 in with my paint pens

And I made this on the 12 in by 12 in

The last 12 by 12 inch board is for his award. With a clip on top. 
(I blurred it out but you get the idea :))

Here is the final product. I hung these up by using poster command hooks. 


This project cost me $5 for the wood boards, $2 for the white paint pen and the red one I borrowed from a friend.
I already had the paint and command hooks but it cost about $7.00. If you do not have any of the materials the whole project will cost you under $15.

Must have wedding pictures

 This cake was made by my mother for my bridal shower! She is very talented.
 I am a huge fan of the wire name wedding hangers. They are so easy to make!
  Love this picture, of the in-laws and parents and the new couple kissing.
 My sister bought me this lovely sweat suit with the future mrs. Sullivan written on it, great pictures and very comfortable!
Since my husband played college football and I am a die hard Texas Tech fan, we put a Texas Tech garter on a football. The boys were way more willing to catch it.
 Loved my wedding shoes but the picture is to show you how cheap you can add the I DO stickers. Total 1.99 at hobby lobby!

One of my favorite pictures of the night.
