Chalkboard vinyl Door Decorations

 I made door decorations using my Silhouette Cameo and chalkboard vinyl. Try and look past my horrible handwriting  It's very hard to write when it's already up on the door and I just have no talent when it comes to writing:) I need to redo it. I used a chalk pen and it held up very well in a storm we had the other night. one of the gingys ran just a tiny bit. just barely.  I made the scary wreath (from the movie Nightmare Before Christmas) back in 2002 I think.  I love the banner because I can erase it and write something new like Happy Easter! Or GO AWAY! I made the gingy by tracing the pattern (to make the ornament) in the Silhouette Software.

I love Instagram pictures. I truly believe they can make anything pretty. These were taken the night before I flew to Japan, in our hotel.

Framed

**total coincidence: the girls are watching Nightmare Before Christmas in this picture.

These two frames used to house Nightmare Before Christmas pictures that I got while at Disneyland. They have been in these frames since I got them on our honeymoon in 2001. Did I ever mention that we had the perfect honeymoon for us (I say "us" because I realize that that's not a dream honeymoon for most!) We went to Disneyland to see the Haunted Mansion turned into the Nightmare Before Christmas (the 1st year it was done) and the next night we went to see Jane's Addiction.
So anyway, I finally took the posters out and replaced them with pictures of my angels! If you had told me back in 2001 that one day I'd replace my treasured NBC posters with pictures of my kids, I'd have said SHUT UP! But didn't they turn out awesome! Thanks to Mary A for cutting mats for them. I can't stop staring at them. Is that bad? Oh and I've stored my other posters for the future. When I have a playroom for the girls or a rec room or a den or just more space!

This is one of the prints framed above. It's slightly different than the one I posted previously.

More of that handsome boy Nicolas.

Crazy Ava.

Too bad that sun was so bright.

I will be posting more from this day. I know, you're done with them but I'm not:)

I have baked these twice in the last week.
They are called Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups and the recipe is on my recipe page. The consist of: puff pastry, peanut butter, chocolate and marshmallows with a little powdered sugar on top.

I'm done reading About a Boy (it was as good as the movie) and have finished listening to Middlesex. I'm now reading Wizards First Rule (oh yeah, I'm reading a geeky fantasy book!) and listening to The Thorn Birds. My friend Jocelyn and I used to watch that movie on VHS while eating popcorn covered in MSG. Literally and liberally sprinkled with MSG. That stuff is good!

If you ever wonder why I mention what I'm listening to or reading it's because I like to hear about good books myself. If someone mentions a book and I've not heard of it, I'll go look to see if I want to read it. That's all. Thank you. Bye Bye.
