Hope your day is getting off to a great start! Ours is starting off a little lazy...we went to our first Atlanta Braves game last night. It was fun, and for one night we embraced all things Braves. ;) But there is no doubt that our love for the Texas Rangers will forever run true...we might have spent as much time watching the scoreboard for their scores against the Angels as we did watching the game we were at. ;) In all seriousness though, we had a really great time, and it was fun to get out together and watch our favorite sport. But you didn't hop over here to read about that, did you? lol.....</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Today is the big reveal day for this month's Front Porch Kit by The Little <span style="color: blue;">Blue</span> House! This month's kit has a fun, beachy, summery theme....perfect for your vacation photos!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">This project was tough to photograph because it's so long, but I turned the Play minibook into a wall hanging, using pics of my boys playing at the beach. :)</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Here's one a little closer. One of my favorite things from the kit is the word sticker sheet....just about any summer splashin' word you can imagine is on there, which goes very well with my scrappy style.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">And last, a layout of the hubs and me...these papers were PERFECT for this photo. That trip, even though it was so fun for our entire family, was especially romantic and special for the two of us,and I'm so thankful for these photos to remember it by. Already counting the days until we go again next summer....that number is way too large right now. ;(</span></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">And now, in related news....it's with mixed emotions that I share with you that I have resigned my position on the Front Porch Kit design team. As a lot of you know, Tracy and I go way back...working together at Recollections, then with Create Joy Workshops, then the brief stint at Anthologies, and even though I moved before The Little Blue House opened, I was able to stay involved long-distance for awhile. The thought of not working with her directly saddens me greatly, which made this decision difficult. I credit Tracy with getting me where I am today...she has taught me, encouraged me, believed in me, and fought for me when others didn't think I could do it. And I know without a doubt that if we still lived in Texas I would still be working right alongside her. She is a dear friend and the big sister I never had but always wanted. :) </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">But due to life changes it's time for me to make a change. Brian's ministry schedule is demanding and I want to be more available to work alongside him (we are starting a new Sunday School class this weekend), I'm now serving on our school's PTA board, taking on a new mentor role with our Moms group at church, and now with all 3 of my boys in school all day I am taking my little side painting/decorating business to a new level. More on that later....I'm really excited to be at a stage in life where I can devote more time to this dream and make it a reality. Be on the lookout for new information to come. I will be painting and decorating homes in the metro Atlanta area, but will also be starting an Etsy shop to sell all kinds of home decor and gift items. In the planning/thinking/marketing stage now....more info later.</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">And then I still need time to just be mom and wife and friend and sister and daughter....so it was time to let FPKs go. :( Thankful for the time spent working with these lovely ladies, and I know the kits will continue to be the huge success they are. Much love to you all, and please keep checking in....I'm going to continue to need your encouragement and input as I begin this new adventure. Love to all of you!</span></span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4336324605515509999.post-83267837329416231822012-07-30T07:26:00.001-07:002012-07-30T07:26:07.301-07:00Oops....last sneak.

So I've been jonesin' for a chalkboard wall for awhile now, and even though this summer has been crazy-busy, I decided now was the time to make it happen. Apparently I'm not happy unless I have some kind of project going...lol. Poor Brian. ;) He's so patient....not sure what I did to deserve him, but I'm so thankful.</div>

My hubs loves to say that Pinterest is the bane of his existence...lol ;) He spends a lot of his free time cutting wood or hanging something up or painting something....God bless him. This time though, I lovingly let him know that Pinterest isn't to blame for this project.....</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The boys and I LOVE this show. In case you haven't heard of it, it's called Good Luck Charlie, and is about a family of 6 (oops...7 now). The oldest sister, Teddy, is doing a video diary for her little sister, Charlie, because she knows she won't be there for her teenage years. It's hilarious, well written, and I get just as excited as the boys do when a new episode comes on. :) If you haven't, check it out...lots of family-friendly fun. On the Disney Channel.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Crazy about how this house is decorated....pretty sure Amy Duncan and I would be fast friends if she was real. ;) And I'm thankful that she is so crazy that she makes me look a little less crazy...lol</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">But anyway...back to business. ;) We purchased a quart of chalkboard paint at The Home Depot (our favorite DIY store) for $10.99, and used a small foam paint roller. After we painted the chalkboard with two coats, (which looked like solid black paint would) my dear husband offered to frame it out for me. Really think we need our own husband and wife DIY show....add the boys and the 2 puppies and it would be all kinds of entertaining....lol. ;)</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Then we had to condition it by rubbing it all over with chalk. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> It took me four full pieces to cover it all.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Then we took a wet towel a wiped it all off, and it looked like a real chalkboard!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">My dear friend and former boss, Tracy, sent me a few chalkboard ink pens to try out (and they are awesome!) and they look like chalk without all the dust and mess that goes along with real chalk. Real chalk, however, is easier to clean off. I covered it with a Bible verse, our weekly menu, chore lists, and special events/dates to remember, and then the bottom is for the boys to express their artistic abilities. ;)</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">And me....lol</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">We had some extra paint so I decided to paint under our kitchen island as well. The boys love having their own space to draw and write on, because really, the big one is more for organization/planning type things, which has been super helpful. I strive for our home to be kid-friendly...trying to find the balance between my clean-freakiness and not wanting to spend my life cleaning. This board is freeing me up in all kinds of ways...lol.</span><br />
<br />
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
So there you go....really an easy project I encourage you to try.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Next project for me? Painting our kitchen cabinets black...not going to be nearly as fun, but can't wait to see the results!!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">The boys and I got back a few days ago from our summer trip to Texas. We had a such a GrEaT time....lots of swimming, shopping, </span>farm work, target shooting, a Rangers game....but mostly just loved being together. Our time there always goes by way too fast, but knowing that B was back here alone, working hard so that we can do things like spend two weeks in TX made it much easier to come home. :)</div>

the boys have 2 new cousins (making the total they have now 5, which they think is greatness).</div>

I can hardly wait to get these framed in my house....the boys are crazy about Finn and Bailey, and vice versa. Can't express enough how incredibly good it does my heart to see these 5 together, and that even though they don't live close to each other they've been able to pick right back up where they left off at each visit. Their bond is tight, and I have a feeling it always will be. My sis and I are finally getting our dream of being moms together, and while it rots that we're not even in the same state to live out this dream, we're making the best of it....making darn sure that these kiddos are going to know each other well and love each other BIG. So far, so good. :)</div>

One: I know a lot of you who read this live in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, and a lot of you are scrapbookers. So you need good photos. It's WAY more fun to scrap great pics....making me a very thankful girl that my best friend (a.k.a my person) also happens to be a fab photographer. If you live in the metroplex, take advantage of the fact that you live near her and schedule a session. You won't be sorry....in fact, you just might be so thankful you'll want to send me a present. Lol....seriously, go visit her website: <a href="http://www.gypsyheartphotography.com/">www.gypsyheartphotography.com</a>. She's so much fun, has a great eye, and is brilliant with color and catching your littles' personalities. </div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">.....who has already developed a love for baseball and needed to reflect that love in his bedroom. :)</span> So I painted a baseball-looking stripe in his room, and added the "Rawlings" logo that you'll find on baseballs to give it a little something unique.</div>

My sister was working on painting his bathroom when I came over to take these photos, and when I left there were still a few things left to hang on the walls (one being a large sepia-toned photo of Finn wearing Hunter's too-big-for-him Josh Hamilton shirt....yummy), so I will post more when I get the final photos. There are several little touches that make his room so much fun....great for him now at 2, but a room he will be able to grow in for several years.</div>

I also got to decorate Bailey's room and oh my....it has opened up a whole new world of fun! I know I was made to be a boy mom (and I LOVE that....it suits me),but I've learned quickly that being an aunt to a girl is pretty fantastic. Especially when she's fun and girly like Miss B, and even at the young age of 2 understands the importance of making things pretty. ;)<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">And of course, she had to have a tree. And we decided that it needed to be pink...because what girl doesn't need a pink tree in her room? ;) The paper leaves were chosen to coordinate with the other wall decor, and the birdhouse "hangs" on the tree like a frame would...I'll never forget her reaction to seeing it for the first time. Made every minute spent working on it completely worth it. </span><br />

And now we're in serious project-mode around here. B and I painted a chalkboard wall in the kitchen tonight, and I'm starting Hud's room re-do tomorrow. Got a couple of canvases to work on, and helping Harrison reorganize and change up his room a little. And not to be left out, we're going to rearrange Hunter's room so his bed is away from the window because it "makes him nervous" when it rains outside. Little punkin. ;) Pics to come.</div>

Hope you're having a great week! My family and I are wrapping up our vacation...we've spent the week in Florida, and it has been wonderful...much needed. I've definitely got beach brain...I just now remembered I was supposed to do this post this morning. Oops. Please forgive me....I'm not prepared like I wanted to be (my plan was to do a step-by-step tutorial on how I did the heart canvas from the kit) but I think I can still give you a good idea on how it's done. Ready?</span><br />

But before I start, let me just say that I've been blown away by inspiration this week. The colors here are breathtaking. I get so caught up in the sights here, all the beautiful little details, and let's just say....my boys don't appreciate it at all. ;) Lol....at least they are mostly patient with me while I take it all in.<br />
As much as I love the beach, I think my favorite part of the trip was visiting this little town (pop. 1200ish) called Seaside. It's about 15 minutes away from where we're staying at Santa Rosa Beach, and it's the most picturesque, darling little town I've ever seen.<br />

<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
I expected to walk away from this trip re-energized, rested, and ready to make the most of the rest of our summer. I didn't expect to be so inspired by everything I saw....but I have been. Ready to get home and get busy on some home decor projects, and some scrapbooking as well. Can't wait. :)</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Ok...the canvas. Here is one closer up shot of the heart itself. I have been playing with this concept for awhile, trying different techniques to get it right, and I bombed every time. When I finally decided to simplify things a bit, I finally got it right...mostly. Still have some tweaking to do, but overall I'm happy with the outcome.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
I used an 18x18 square canvas, and painted the edges and sides black. Next, I drew the heart. I free-handed it, wanting it to have more of a whimsical look, and then placed scraps of all different sizes from the kit around it using mod podge, inking them first. I opted not to put a coat of mod podge over the top of the scraps, but that is a matter of preference. </div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
Next, the scary part. ;) The heart. Here's the secret to making the heart: joint compound and polyurethane. Yep...that's it. I took a spoon (a butter knife will work too, but I felt like I had more control with the spoon) and started scooping out joint compound and spreading it all over, filling in the heart outline I had drawn. You want it nice and thick. After I was happy with the size and shape of the heart, I took a pencil and drew in my swirls. Next, you have to wait for it to dry COMPLETELY (that's important), which takes 24 hours.</div>

<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
The next day after it had dried completely, I painted it with a higher quality acrylic paint. You want it to have a thicker consistency than some of the cheaper ones do. I chose a dark red, and then brushed a little bit of black and turquoise over the top after the red had dried somewhat. It blends better if the red is not completely dry. After all of that dried, I brushed on polyurethane over the top. Two coats...it has to be the type you paint on, NOT the spray. After that dried I added the "X" and the "you are here" letter stickers, using a little liquid glue. And then....you're done! See? Not nearly as scary as we thought. ;)</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">So there you go...hopefully this little tutorial was helpful. And as a bonus....we've had a couple of rainy afternoons this week, and luckily I brought my scrappy stuff. When I was in TX in April I visited The Little Blue House, and bought the stuff to make this Fancy Pants journal. I have really missed journaling, and figured if I could combine that with scrapbooking it would be just what I needed to get back in the habit. I can tell I'm going to have so much fun with this....I'm making mine a family journal...things about us, our favorite things, places we go, people we meet, etc. </span><br />

Do you recognize the pinky-red trim along the spiral? Yes...it's from the Sew Artsy kit! It was one of my favorite trims in the kit, and I'm so glad I had some leftover to add to the journal. I've got some more ribbon to add to the spiral, and then I'll be ready to start filling it up. :)</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Have a wonderful weekend....take a little time to record something important, scrap your latest favorite photo, or take some new pics of your favorites. See you again soon!</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4336324605515509999.post-31660467681431798822012-05-24T18:03:00.001-07:002012-05-24T18:03:35.972-07:00Kid Venture Wall Art~ Done!!Back in March I was hired to do my first real official wall art job, painting the children's area for Sugar Hill United Methodist Church. I was really excited, and a nervous wreck too. Worried about my abilities and if I would really be able to get what was in my head onto this big gigantic "canvas." ;) When I started it was four walls painted blue, and after hearing the children's director's vision for what she hoped it would look like, I learned that we have a very similar, whimsical taste. :)<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">In a good way, of course....there is SO much to work with in this kit; the hardest part is deciding where to start!

I decided he should stay home today. Hmmmm. ;)</div>

There is so much excitement surrounding this month's kit. :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Several new Design Team members have been added,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and it's been so fun getting to know them through their blogs. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't wait to see what they have done with their kits....I'll be blog hopping all day. :D</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As always, my ridiculous (but really fun;) addiction to paper is what determines my love for a kit</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and my excitement for starting new projects;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and this one?</div>

The past couple weeks I've had the opportunity to paint a mural for a children's area</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of a local church.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was my first "real" job like this, and I was nervous.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've painted lots of things for our house, family, friends,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but a real, paying job?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That's a whole different story.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCs5y_XxiQAKkTmlX4R5F8LrzH9OvpP51QU_vLaAJQEUzoMbk-kx79YIteYRoho_2StAbtV576f3xbLBTYn65pLt3dfqthtnPRcQK8Cb6JqcE_Sr7gn8L3HE3W29sfFxvbqbxCf2VEdis/s1600/061.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCs5y_XxiQAKkTmlX4R5F8LrzH9OvpP51QU_vLaAJQEUzoMbk-kx79YIteYRoho_2StAbtV576f3xbLBTYn65pLt3dfqthtnPRcQK8Cb6JqcE_Sr7gn8L3HE3W29sfFxvbqbxCf2VEdis/s640/061.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It started out as just a big blue room,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and the children's director, Terri, and I shared our visions for the final result,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
coming together with this.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
This is my progress so far on just one wall.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Terri was wanting this main wall to be a journey scene, heading toward an adventure.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Their theme is Kid Venture,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so we wanted it to be fun and happy and whimsical.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Who says trees have to be green? Turquoise, purple, and orange are WaY more fun. ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next week I'll be adding in paper embellishments...that's what will make this project feel complete....it's just not right without scrapbook paper involved somewhere. :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will post the finished product as soon as it's done.</div>

My favorite thing in the kit is this burlap canvas. I love all things burlap, and had so much fun creating this canvas of my "person" Tomi and me. If you've ever watched Grey's Anatomy you understand the "person" thing. ;) We are our own version of Meredith and Cristina...but maybe not quite as dark and twisty. Maybe. Hahaha. ;)<br />

But anyway, these papers were so fun to turn into birds and branches, and I am AMAZED by how many chipboard letters are included in this kit. Absolutely NO frustration over being short of a letter at all. That made me one happy girl. :)<br />

I made this wrap-thing (great term, right?;) for a vase, and the daisies were calling my name. More burlap happiness, made a flower out of fabric, tied a bow around it all with this beautiful blue ribbon...happiness again.<br />

I'm working on a collage of different pieces of art upstairs to inspire and encourage the boys. The strips of paper made this piece fun and whimsical...excited about adding it to their wall.<br />

And...here's a layout for you. This was a recent date with my middle man that I blogged about <a href="http://hatch-partyoffive.blogspot.com/2012/02/hearts.html" target="_blank">here</a> if you'd like to read about it. I love how these papers are fun and girly yet, equally perfect for boyish layouts as well. Very important for this mom of three. :)<br />

I'll leave you with this quote from my very favorite movie of all time:<br />
<br />
Kathleen:"I love daisies..." Joe:"You told me..." </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kathleen:"They're so
friendly. Don't you think that daisies are the friendliest flowers?" </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Joe:"I do." </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I agree too. ;)</div>

This week the latest Front Porch Kit arrived on my front porch. :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've missed those these past few months....how fun to drive home and find that wonderful brown 12x12 box waiting for me on Wednesday!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
SO ready and excited to get going with this one...it's a BEAUTIFUL kit.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had no trouble coming up with projects to do...in fact, I might have to scale back a little. ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We left-brained, crafty-types sometimes set unrealistic expectations, don't we? However, this time I'm hoping that my old organized, right-brained self will shine through this time, at least in the staying-on-task department. Otherwise she needs to leave me alone. ;)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
A couple weeks ago I had the fun job of making Fancy Nancy party invitations for one of my very favorite little girls. Miss Mia-Kate is 6 now...her mama and I have been friends since middle school, and I seriously love those girls (MK has 2 sisters) like they're mine. :) Determined that at least one of them will end up falling in love with and marrying a Hatcher boy. *sigh* </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Her mama and I would make the most fun moms-in-law and grandma pair EVER.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But, I'm getting off task. Shocking. ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
New Front Porch Kit sneaks coming this weekend.</div>

January is a busy month for our family, with 3 birthdays and an anniversary to celebrate, all within an 11 day period. So you can imagine my relief when February gets here. ;) Don't get me wrong~ I love celebrating and planning parties. Birthdays are fun, and I love to make a really big deal out of them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But when it's all over I'm equally as excited to not have another party to plan until June. ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Still can't believe this guy is FIVE.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
And because FIVE is such a big birthday, we partied BIG.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's a recap:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjs3YP8opZuA49c-8XPeEVUxf5fZ2uxPGU62Fh4IBQs0ZHkI0VVX1WZFADtufmFsyEyceF5ef6nk_hlx-yoTUPxcqHac_9BHdgr5c36GJKpG_4f6jVR_WCtFujHGLv0vkd3UVjIh5gkpsw/s1600/Hunter's+5th+party+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjs3YP8opZuA49c-8XPeEVUxf5fZ2uxPGU62Fh4IBQs0ZHkI0VVX1WZFADtufmFsyEyceF5ef6nk_hlx-yoTUPxcqHac_9BHdgr5c36GJKpG_4f6jVR_WCtFujHGLv0vkd3UVjIh5gkpsw/s640/Hunter's+5th+party+copy.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hunter wanted a Lego Star Wars party at home, so we celebrated with pool noodle Light Saber fights in the family room (whoa), a Lego ship building contest, cupcakes, cake, and Yoda Soda. ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was fun! Special thanks to my incredibly talented friend <a href="http://www.paisleyandplaidokc.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Amanda</a> for making the cupcake toppers, and the Star Wars cookies...they were a huge hit!!</div>
<br />
<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last week I was determined to relax the Monday after the party was over.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That lasted about 2 hours. ;) Sometimes I wish I was better at relaxing, but maybe it's good that I'm not. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had been thinking about painting a wall in our house, but I needed some time to work up the courage.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thankfully we had plenty of paint leftover from when this hallway was painted, and I used Mod Podge to adhere the leaves to the wall, so if it was a disaster at least it wouldn't be a permanent one. ;) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was wanting to paint something that was whimsical and kid-friendly, but also something that would grow with the boys. I love trees, and wanted to incorporate some of the colors I use throughout our home. The Bible verse is from Jeremiah 33:3....one of my favorites, and one that I'm wanting the boys to grow up knowing as well. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I had so much fun with this project! I really love to paint, and it was so fun having a giant canvas to work with. Thankful for a patient husband who doesn't panic when I mention painting a mural on a wall (or he hides it really well). ;)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This guy is a bit Star Wars-obsessed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
His brothers are fans too, but not quite as much as he is.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So when I asked him what kind of party he wanted this year (he's turning 5....that's a BIG one),</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
he didn't hesitate to tell me he wanted a Lego Star Wars theme. To be honest, I cringed a little bit on the inside (thinking, "How about Toy Story? Or baseball? Or ANYTHING else?";)....I mean, I don't really "get" the Star Wars thing. I've never really understood it. But I know there are LOTS of people out there who think it's fantastic, and I've learned the importance of understanding the things that are important to my kiddos~ I really believe that if they'll talk to me about the little things that are important to them now, hopefully they'll talk to me about the big things that are important as they get older. So I'm <i>somewhat</i> of a pro when it comes to Star Wars. I know that Darth Vader used to be Anakin Skywalker (Hunter's favorite character), and that Yoda uses a green light saber. I learned today that </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Boba Fet and Jengo Fet are father and son, but I honestly don't remember which one is which. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm doing my best. ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So....a Star Wars theme. A LEGO Star Wars theme. Way more fun to plan than I ever expected....lots of ideas out there. I'm up to my eyeballs in Star Wars-related things (thankfully the scrapbook store had a pretty decent selection), and am getting lots of help from my super-talented friend <a href="http://www.paisleyandplaidokc.wordpress.com/">Amanda</a>, who also happens to run a party planning business in OKC. She's making some fantastic Star Wars cookies, and designed some amazing cupcake toppers for me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Can't wait to share the pics....soon!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then the weekend after Hunter's 5th birthday bash we celebrate Harrison's 11th birthday....11. ELEVEN. Their birthdays are actually a day apart, but we spaced their parties out a week. Thankfully, Harrison is getting to the age when a big party isn't a big deal. He wants to have a few friends go to the Airsoft shooting place, then come home for pizza and cake. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Going with a camo theme (seemed appropriate), and it's going to be great. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Eleven. Whoa.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And as if I didn't have enough to do right now ;) Brian and I hit Home Depot and Lowe's on Friday. Big plans to finish up our bedroom, which include paint with fun names like Pup Tent and Monk's Cloth, an old ladder, a big door, and some old ceiling tiles, just to name a few. In search of an old chandelier right now. CANNOT wait to finish it up and show you! Also going to start changing up some other things upstairs....creating a mural for the wall at the top of the stairs, making curtains for Harrison and Hunter's rooms, our room, and then I'm finally going to face my fear (otherwise known as our kitchen cabinets) and start painting....ready to get the kitchen done. I think there are so many little things I want to finish up that I keep getting overwhelmed and don't do anything. :/ So my new plan for the new year is to tackle one room at a time, a little at a time. We'll see. Hopefully all of the fantastic-ness that's in my head will be reality soon.</div>

Our parents, siblings, and friends all lived within 30 minutes of us. I worked for a delightful company called Create Joy, designing and teaching different home decor and scrapbooking projects. I loved it...life was good. :)<br /><br />But sometimes God takes us in a different, unexpected direction. Things change. I've changed. Now I live in Georgia with my minister husband, 3 little boys, and a black lab named Addy. Our parents, siblings, and friends now live way farther away than I would ever choose.<br />And I've had the pleasure of being a full-time stay-at-home mom for two years now.<br />I've LOVED that part. Being away has taken a lot of getting used to. But God is faithful and has not only made it possible for us to see our family and friends often, but has given us people here who love us too. Definitely blessed.<br /><br />I've taken a little sabbatical from the crafty world that I love. Not giving it up completely~ I still do some things here and there for my faithful customers, and have made a few things for some church events~ who knew art could double as ministry? ;) It's no longer my job though. Honestly, I had found that I was a little burned out, so a break was good. However, these past few months I've started to see that something is missing.<br /><br />Turns out that you can take the girl out of the studio, but you can't take the studio out of the girl. ;)<br /><br />SO....I'm moving things in a little different direction.<br />I've been asking myself what I am passionate about, what I love to do most, what would be the perfect thing to do and still take care of my family?<br /><br />You see....I'm a scrapbooker. Have been for most of of my life. I have the sad-looking drill team scrapbook from high school to prove it. ;) There's not much that thrills me more than a scrapbook store. I get lost in the papers, the embellishments, ribbons, chipboard....it's dangerous. ;) But I've been playing in the digital scrapbook world lately, and I've found that I like it too.<br />It's fast. It's fun, and when it's done well....it's strikingly beautiful.<br /><br />Good photography is REALLY important, and when my <a href="http://www.gypsyheartphotography.com/">best-friend-who-is-also-our-photographer </a>and I partner up like we did for these projects, well it just makes the process that much more fun.<br /><br />Our first project was for my sister. She and her husband have been in the process of adopting for awhile now, and needed a book for the birth moms to look through. They asked Tomi to photograph them for the book, and asked me to turn it into a digital album for them.<br /><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Here are a few of the pages from their book:<br /></div><div align="center"><a href="http://s936.photobucket.com/albums/ad210/jaclynhatcher/?action=view&current=randjcovercopy.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i936.photobucket.com/albums/ad210/jaclynhatcher/randjcovercopy.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a></div><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://s936.photobucket.com/albums/ad210/jaclynhatcher/?action=view&current=randjpage2copy.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i936.photobucket.com/albums/ad210/jaclynhatcher/randjpage2copy.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">We're pretty sure the book might be magic~ they've already become the parents to two-year-old twins! I shared their story on my family blog <a href="http://www.hatch-partyoffive.blogspot.com/">here</a> if you'd like to read it.<br /></div><br /><div align="center"><img src="http://i936.photobucket.com/albums/ad210/jaclynhatcher/randjpage8copy.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">I had so much fun with Reagan and Jon's book that I decided to make some for us. I have 4 years of family photos that needed to be in books. I've finished two so far. Here are a few from last year's photo shoot:<br /></div><div align="center"><a href="http://s936.photobucket.com/albums/ad210/jaclynhatcher/?action=view&current=boys11copy.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i936.photobucket.com/albums/ad210/jaclynhatcher/boys11copy.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">(not sure why this one is cut off...I have lots to learn about html stuff. :/<br />I promise it's not cut off in the book.<br /></div><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://s936.photobucket.com/albums/ad210/jaclynhatcher/?action=view&current=harrison3copy.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i936.photobucket.com/albums/ad210/jaclynhatcher/harrison3copy.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a></div><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://s936.photobucket.com/albums/ad210/jaclynhatcher/?action=view&current=babylove13copy.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i936.photobucket.com/albums/ad210/jaclynhatcher/babylove13copy.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">The way I see it is like this: your family is art. Your family photos? Also art. They don't need a lot of extra stuff to share their story...sometimes some words or a fitting quote is plenty. Some stories need to be told, journaling, one thing I have always stressed as important when it comes to scrapbooking.<br /></div><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://s936.photobucket.com/albums/ad210/jaclynhatcher/?action=view&current=harrison3copy.jpg" target="_blank"><br /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">These photos are from 2007...my childhood friend <a href="http://www.kellystocksenphotography.com/">Kelly</a> took these for me. She's AMAZINGLY talented...can't believe how much my babies have grown. It was fun going back through these and remembering what they were like back then.<br /></div><div align="center"><a href="http://s936.photobucket.com/albums/ad210/jaclynhatcher/?action=view&current=dividedcopy.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i936.photobucket.com/albums/ad210/jaclynhatcher/dividedcopy.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a></div><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://s936.photobucket.com/albums/ad210/jaclynhatcher/?action=view&current=hudbiocopy.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i936.photobucket.com/albums/ad210/jaclynhatcher/hudbiocopy.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a></div><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://s936.photobucket.com/albums/ad210/jaclynhatcher/?action=view&current=heartsfullcopy.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i936.photobucket.com/albums/ad210/jaclynhatcher/heartsfullcopy.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">SO....here's the plan:<br />Your photos in a full color hardcover album, available in 3 sizes (8.5x8.5, 8.5x11, and 12x12), edited, personal touches added, your stories told, and shipped right to your front door. :)<br /><br />And if that isn't enough? I'm seriously throwing the idea of starting a party planning business. After lots of prompting by family, friends, neighbors, church members, etc.....I'm finally really thinking seriously about it. Lots of details to work out. These digital albums will be part of a package deal, which will also include handmade paper invitations, cake/cupcake toppers, personalized party decorations, balloons....think like this: your party or shower planned from start to set up to finish, with a beautiful digital album so you're sure to never forget it. :)<br /><br />I'll be launching a new blog at the first of the year with more details, pricing, photo samples, etc.<br />In the meantime please contact me at jaclynhatcher77@gmail.com with any questions.<br /><br />And please know....I'm not giving up my love of paper. ;) Let me stress this~ the invitations, banners, cupcake toppers, etc. will all be handmade, with all the paper, ribbon, and embellishments. It wouldn't feel right otherwise. ;)<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4336324605515509999.post-25644330566274384712011-10-02T14:46:00.000-07:002011-10-02T15:55:14.033-07:00Fall<div style="text-align: center;">Fall is my favorite time of the year. At least until winter comes. And then spring....and summer. I'm not a super decisive girl, and I love all of the seasons for different reasons.<br />But I get extra excited about fall...the cooler temps have a lot to do with it. And it's so unbelievably gorgeous here with the trees turning all of these amazing shades of red and orange, gold and brown. It's breathtaking.<br /><br />The official first leaf of fall. Or, the first official leaf that landed on our driveway. Details. ;)<br /></div><br /><div align="center="><a href="http://s936.photobucket.com/albums/ad210/jaclynhatcher/?action=view&current=IMG_0501.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i936.photobucket.com/albums/ad210/jaclynhatcher/IMG_0501.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Oddly (or really, not so oddly) enough, this change in weather makes brings out the crafty girl in me even more. I love decorating the house, the porch, and usually start wanting to change things up in the house. I bought a 12x12 canvas last week that was on sale at Hobby Lobby, having no clue what I was going to do with it.<br /></div><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://s936.photobucket.com/albums/ad210/jaclynhatcher/?action=view&current=IMG_0525-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i936.photobucket.com/albums/ad210/jaclynhatcher/IMG_0525-1.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Today I figured something out. I love birds...these make me happy. :)<br /></div><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://s936.photobucket.com/albums/ad210/jaclynhatcher/?action=view&current=IMG_0514.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i936.photobucket.com/albums/ad210/jaclynhatcher/IMG_0514.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Last week I had a little surgery. Everything went well, thankfully...I'm starting to get frustrated that I'm not up to my normal routine yet, but I'm getting there. I'm supposed to give it a couple weeks, at least. I'm not a patient patient. Not at all. ;)<br />A sweet friend brought these flowers to the hospital, other friends have brought gifts, meals, offered to take me out of the house for awhile, my mom and dad sent a Starbucks gift card. And B and the boys? Excellent nurses. I'm feeling blessed....downright spoiled, really.<br /><br />The day before surgery I had a lot of nervous energy. So I took some leftover fabric and made a curtain for our powder bathroom. On Friday I picked up some fun trim to add to it...hoping to get to that this week.<br /></div><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://s936.photobucket.com/albums/ad210/jaclynhatcher/?action=view&current=IMG_0511.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i936.photobucket.com/albums/ad210/jaclynhatcher/IMG_0511.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">And I made this pillow too. Was afraid if I didn't do it before it would never happen.<br /><br />Very simple...burlap tree trunk, leaves made from a package of quilt quarters bought at Hobby Lobby. Using their 40% off coupon to purchase the pillow, this project was done for around $10.<br />Makes me love it even more. :)<br /></div><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://s936.photobucket.com/albums/ad210/jaclynhatcher/?action=view&current=IMG_0509.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i936.photobucket.com/albums/ad210/jaclynhatcher/IMG_0509.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a></div><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://s936.photobucket.com/albums/ad210/jaclynhatcher/?action=view&current=IMG_0519.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i936.photobucket.com/albums/ad210/jaclynhatcher/IMG_0519.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Added some fallish picks to the wreath that normally hangs on the front door already, and it is now fall ready.<br /></div><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://s936.photobucket.com/albums/ad210/jaclynhatcher/?action=view&current=IMG_0518.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i936.photobucket.com/albums/ad210/jaclynhatcher/IMG_0518.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Saw the idea for adding a monogram letter to a pumpkin on Pinterest, and I loved it. Simple and fun and different. Planted mums and pansies in the front porch pots, and the porch is now ready.<br /><br />happy fall!<br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4336324605515509999.post-59419188983329947922011-08-22T08:33:00.000-07:002011-08-22T08:52:27.407-07:00It's Time To....<div style="text-align: center;">...order your Front Porch Kit!!
<br />
<br />Today is the big reveal day, and I'm so excited to get
<br />to share the fun things I made with this month's kit. :)
<br /></div>
<br /><div style="text-align: center;">Loved getting to scrap 3 of my favorite girls...and I'm (not-so) secretly hoping
<br />that someday at least one of them will be my daughter-in-law. ;)
<br /></div><div align="center"><a href="http://s936.photobucket.com/albums/ad210/jaclynhatcher/?action=view&current=006-22.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i936.photobucket.com/albums/ad210/jaclynhatcher/006-22.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">This kit is beautiful~ love the Basic Grey papers...they are one of my favorite companies.
<br /></div>
<br />
<br /><div align="center"><a href="http://s936.photobucket.com/albums/ad210/jaclynhatcher/?action=view&current=008-19.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i936.photobucket.com/albums/ad210/jaclynhatcher/008-19.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a></div>
<br />
<br /><div style="text-align: center;">I made this for my kitchen, inspired by <a href="http://creativegeniusart.blogspot.com/2010/09/i-shall-not-be-moved.html">this </a>that I saw on Pinterest.
<br /></div><div align="center"><a href="http://s936.photobucket.com/albums/ad210/jaclynhatcher/?action=view&current=002-16.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i936.photobucket.com/albums/ad210/jaclynhatcher/002-16.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">There's this little skinny wall next to the pantry that needed some love.
<br />I think it's feeling the love now. :)
<br /></div>
<br /><div align="center"><a href="http://s936.photobucket.com/albums/ad210/jaclynhatcher/?action=view&current=004-20.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i936.photobucket.com/albums/ad210/jaclynhatcher/004-20.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a></div>
<br />
<br /><div style="text-align: center;">I re-purposed an old frame, and made this "You are loved always" piece to put in it.
<br /></div><div align="center"><a href="http://s936.photobucket.com/albums/ad210/jaclynhatcher/?action=view&current=024-4.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i936.photobucket.com/albums/ad210/jaclynhatcher/024-4.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a></div>
<br />
<br /><div style="text-align: center;">And last, had to make a layout of the boys. :) These pics were taken with my phone on Instagram the day before I left them in Texas for a week this summer.
<br /></div><div align="center"><a href="http://s936.photobucket.com/albums/ad210/jaclynhatcher/?action=view&current=011-11.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i936.photobucket.com/albums/ad210/jaclynhatcher/011-11.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Love them, and love that this more girly-themed kit
<br />also contains plenty of boy-love scrappy stuff. ;)
<br />
<br />It's lots of fun...trust me~ you want it.

<br />It's one I resisted for awhile...prompting friends to ask me what I was waiting for,
<br />that they were shocked that I hadn't gotten hooked yet.
<br />Truth is, I didn't understand it....and I didn't think I had the time to figure it out.
<br />
<br />It's a little thing called <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/">Pinterest</a>
<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">and it's sucked up way more of my "free" time than I really care to admit.
<br />But I can honestly say that I've reined myself in a lot these past couple weeks....
<br /></div><div align="center"><a href="http://s936.photobucket.com/albums/ad210/jaclynhatcher/?action=view&current=005-17.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i936.photobucket.com/albums/ad210/jaclynhatcher/005-17.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">...mostly because I've been too busy planning all of these DIY projects for the house.
<br />That I happened to see on Pinterest. ;)
<br />This one on the hearth is my first Pinterest-inspired project.
<br />Changed up some to make it mine and fit my style, but<a href="http://scrapstudio.tumblr.com/post/1266939353/this-is-totally-and-completely-lovely"> inspired</a> nonetheless.
<br /></div>
<br />
<br /><div align="center"><a href="http://s936.photobucket.com/albums/ad210/jaclynhatcher/?action=view&current=006-21.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i936.photobucket.com/albums/ad210/jaclynhatcher/006-21.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">4 wooden boards, put together by my dear husband, stained, paper-crafted,
<br />stamped, and polyurethaned by me. ;)
<br /></div>
<br /><div align="center"><a href="http://s936.photobucket.com/albums/ad210/jaclynhatcher/?action=view&current=003-20.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i936.photobucket.com/albums/ad210/jaclynhatcher/003-20.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">There are lots of ________-full things, aren't there?
<br />Beauty Full
<br />Hope Full
<br />Peace Full
<br />The list goes on and on...but for our fam and the stage of life the boys are in,
<br />life is in indeed full of wonder here. :)
