Happy Valentines Day

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!

I have been wanting to try lots of new ideas the past several weeks and we have had a lot of fun making things around here. A couple of weeks ago I decided that I wanted to make the kids Valentines shirts to wear. I do not sew so I had to figure out another way to make them. After talking with someone, who is much wiser than myself, a little bit about what I wanted to do, she introduced me to "Steam a Seam"!! I am in love with this stuff. This will not be the last time I will be using it that's for sure. Once I found the shirts, it was an easy process and the shirts turned out so much better than I expected. I made the tie for Blake and he loved it. He could not wait to wear it. Mckenna's heart is so precious. She looked so cute in her jean mini skirt and leggins today too. Who could resist these two?!?!

I just had to post some of these shots I got this morning of the two of them while trying to get their Valentines picture. Mckenna cracks me up in some of these pictures..
I love this one...you can totally tell she is saying
"Cheese" with them big lips of hers!
Guess someone is tired of getting their picture taken

Thanks Courtney, yeah I got it at joann fabrics..along with the material. I did get a new lens, I got the 50 mm one. I am loving it...however, it is different then what I have been using so it has taken some time to get used too. I am still in the middle of my photography class and that has helped tremdously. So much that I had no clue about and it also has taken some time to all sink in and really get how to use the camera and lens. It has been a blast though. So worth the money I spent on it.
