Wow! It has been so long since I've updated my blog, the format is completely changed! We moved to Georgia about 3.5 months ago and we are loving it! I am a little home sick though....I'm not gonna lie! Since we are in a new home I have definitely been working on lots and lots of new projects! I just thought I'd make a quick post and share a few of my new house signs! Again....I've been making LOTS of new thing...so his doesn't even begin to cut into it! Enjoy!

Bathroom Signs

Since we are about to be moving, I have been busy making lots of fun new things for our next home! I know I should be doing the opposite, and should be getting rid of things....but I want everything ready for when I get there...plus the ideas were fresh in my head!

I made this cute little sign to go right by their sink. I used vinyl as a stencil, so this whole sign is hand painted...cute huh?!

I also made this subway art, again it's all hand painted! I just love it!

Here they are together! What a perfect pair!

If you are interested in any of these items, a kit or completed, email me, etsy convo me, or find me on fb!

Craft Room Signs

A few weeks ago my friend came over and we made some signs for our craft rooms! I did them a little different than normal! I peeled the vinyl opposite and used it as a stencil...which made it super easy to make these signs bright and colorful!

This is the one that I made for my craft room!

This is hers, she sells super cute hair bows!

I also made this sign for my craft room by mod podging paper to wood, then putting a coat of mod podge on top and adding some vinyl!

She did this one for her craft room....quote from Minnie Mouse!

New Dining Room & Kitchen Signs

I say this every time I update, but WOW! It's been FOREVER since I've last updated! September thru the end of January are usually the busiest for me, and once again, they were! I've been doing lots of craft nights and fulfilling custom orders...I've even started having people host their own mini craft nights! They are super fun and on a lot smaller scale than what I normally do! It's been a nice way to meet lots of new people! We've also been busy traveling for the holidays! We also found out that we will be moving to Augusta Georgia around the end of May! Paul graduates medical school and we are moving there for a transitional year. We are super excited for the move! I' m planning on maybe....possibly updating this with pics from trips and everything else, but one step at a time! FOr now, here are some pics of a few new signs I made for our dining room and our kitchen!

Super fun huh?! If you are interested, head on over to laniercreations.etsy.com and message me and I can set you up a listing! These are available in kits so you can make them yourself, or completed!

He Asked & She Said Yes

I wanted to share a new item that I have in my Etsy shop! I saw a few examples of these signs and thought they were so fun, and I decided I wanted to make some! Thanks to Brooke & Bart for being my models! Aren't they a cute couple?!

These signs are available in my etsy shop for $22! They don't have to be used just for engagement pics either! These would be cute to display at your wedding reception or even in your home by some wedding pics!

Under Construction!

My blog is a little under construction right now! If you look at it and it may seem all funky....that why! Krystal over at Images By Krys has been working super hard to get this blog to looking how I'd like it to! If you are interested in giving your blog an update, especially if you have a business, you should check out her site! Soon you will be able to purchase orders directly off of my blog! Yay I can't wait and thank you Krystal!

Boy Sign

A few weeks ago I was contacted to make a sign for a baby boy nursery. Here is what I came up with!

The letters can be hung individually...

Or connected with a ribbon!

Super cute huh?!

Swimming Lessons

In the middle of August Landon started taking swimming lessons...I'm bad and didn't really take many pics during the 2 weeks of lessons, so I brought my camera on the last day and got a few pics!

Here he is before the swim lesson.

He would not take his finger out of his mouth!

Here he is in the beginning of the lesson working on kicking.

And here he is striking a pose!

Hannity was in the middle of saying cheese when I took this one. Haha!

This pic is so blurry and he was moving and splashing all over, and just having a good time!

He did great, but isn't swimming on his own. I'm planning on sticking him in another class in a few weeks and do the mommy and me class with miss Hannity! I think she'd really like it! She was a great cheerleader for her brother though! She was clapping for him on the sidelines.

Painting On Burlap

Since being home from Paris, I have often thought about changing my downstairs half bathroom in to a Paris theme. There were just lots of things I loved about Paris, and I got some great pictures I could use, and there are some cute Paris things on etsy and at the stores...plus I got a cute little clock in Paris that doesn't have a home yet! So I've decided I'm going for it! My first step was to make something to fill the wall behind the toilet. I had lots of 16x20 sized boards that the hubby cut me, burlap, paint and vinyl! I had seen something really cute at hobby lobby that was a little similar to what I ended up doing but it was far too small to fill the space I needed. So I got to work!

First I went to the craft room and cut out an Eiffel Tower and the word Paris on my vinyl machine. I peeled the opposite part of the vinyl that I normally would so I would have a stencil. What I did next didn't work out so great. I painted the board and used spray adhesive to put the burlap down then painted....

Well....as I pulled the vinyl off the burlap came off and bubbled. Then I had to redo it all! It was kind of a hot sticky, furry mess!

What I recommend doing is taping your burlap to the board (it doesn't matter if paint gets on it, you'll be painting it again anyways!) Place the vinyl on your burlap and paint! Once it's dry, pull the vinyl off! Then paint your board. Using spray adhesive, spray a small amount to the wood to attach the burlap. Then place a nail in each corner! (I used kind of rustic looking nails.) And...you are done!

Don't get a little to paint happy =)

Here is the finished project! I love it & can't wait to finish the rest!

In case you were wondering who won the free crafts last night, it was

Megan Kanowitz!

Thanks to all of you ladies who came out last night! Hope you had fun! The next craft night will be sometime in September!

Puppy Party!

A few weeks ago my friend threw he daughter a Puppy party and asked if I'd help make a few items! Just thought I'd share what I helped out with! I still have yet to see the pics from the actual party...I bet it was SUPER CUTE!

I made this sign using, paper, a dollar store frame, some vinyl, and ribbon.

These dog bowls were found at one of the dollar stores in the colors of the party....what a score! Just added some vinyl to make em even cuter!

I also made this banner! Have I mentioned yet....I LOVE making banners! They are so time consuming, but I'm always happy with the end result!

This bowl had some chex muddy mix! Cute huh?!

I love the fun bright colors for this puppy party! Thanks Jenny for letting me make these and for the cute hair bows I got in return! Check out her shop for some super cute headbands!
