i'm feeling crafty

i got these in the mail yesterday. i ordered them from here. i first saw these on tara whitney's blog and thought they were super cute. kinda nervous about painting my family but kinda excited too. ham should be the easiest- black t-shirt, jeans + hair covering most of his face. he would find that be really funny. not.

i hope they turn out as cute as these:

this picture was taken with permission of course from the thompson family blog. she has a side thingy that you can click on and has a few more pictures of them. really cute. of course this could be another one of those projects that just doesn't get done.

i found a few more swaps to participate in from swap-dex. you can look that up, i'm too lazy to get the link for it. the latest one was a sticker swap. something easy + not expensive. been debating on joining one that makes aprons. i love this apron from grand revival. nice and girly. only problem, never made an apron before. i've made curtains, pillow cases and when ham was little, a few outfits. guess the way to do it would be to go and buy a pattern. ah- patterns are overrated!

i 'm going to go and find a statue of st. joseph. not that i'm catholic but the rumor is that he will sell your house. and i whole heartily believe in this rumor. and if someone told me shaving someone's hair off would do the trick i would so volunteer mike and shave his head for him. yep, i'm generous like that.
