Easter Banner

Sarah and the Valentines Banner

I create things all the time. I love it. Most of the things I create I see and copy - PINTEREST!! Or twist an idea to something that works. I really love to create with friends and family. They seem to keep me focused on the project more and chat at the same time.

I made a valentines banner with my friend Terina a couple of weeks ago. Then I thought how fun to have an Easter one. So I made one all by my lonesome. Any of you that know me I have a buttload of fabric - and scraps come easy. I am always looking for a way to use my 3 inch strips of fabric. lol.

The eggs and hearts are 2 3/4 inches tall by 2 inches wide. The banner backgrounds I cut 6 inches long and then folded over an inch over the ribbon and sewed them right onto the ribbon. I just used wonder under stuff to adhere to the fabric and the backing. I sewed a bright color thread around the edges so it wouldn't fray too bad. A little is good - But I didn't want the whole thing to unravel. Pretty simple pimple project to do. Love it.

Vero Hero came last week and now is off to Utah to visit a friend there. Can't wait for her to come home. Mikes been out of town but that's ok - it gives me more freedom to CRAFT!!!

Just finished a weekend in Las Vegas. Hollys birthday is this week. Sarah next month. David is doing great in Italy and is on the countdown. Mike and I just hit 22 years. Alrighty then.

July again. More Foreign Exchange students. This time from France. Two lovely girls named Marine and Marion. This is our summer fun. Veronika even came back for a 2 month visit. We are lucky to have her visit again.

David is doing wonderful in Italy. Hes in a little town called Trento, Italy up in the mountains. Its a little cooler up there and he is enjoying the weather and the people. the girls are enjoying their summer vacation. Holly starts this year in school as a High schooler. Sarah will be in 7th grade. We also have the fortune of having Manuela coming to visit from Italy this year and staying a semester. This will Help Holly in her Italian homework. lol.
