COUNTDOWN CRAZY!!!!!

For some reason I got on a "Countdown Block Kick" over the Summer!

I have not made them for years, but suddenly got the urge to start counting down EVERYTHING!!!

I just thought I would share a few of the Countdown Blocks I have done over the past few months.  This way, if you are NEW to these blocks, you can make some since it is so fun for the Holidays.  OR if you have been MISSING THEM like I must have been, you can enjoy my new photo's!  :)

MISSION COUNTDOWN

 

 

I absolutely LOVE this idea!

My friend Jen

(yeah, the same Jen from above...

super talented, amazing woman!)

had me cut the vinyl for this project.

SHE came up with the idea, cut her own wood, just needed the vinyl to complete her project.

I was happy to help!  :)

She had seen blocks online that were a "COUNTDOWN" till the missionary comes home, but instead she wanted to track the days her missionary has served!

GREAT IDEA JEN!

HAPPY FALL Y'ALL!

MUSTACHE BASH!

Last Month My Sister Stacey and I threw a

Baby Shower for our Cousin

who was expecting a Baby Boy.

We also had help from many of our Family and Friends including the Mommy-to-Be's Twin Sister, Mother, our Aunts and My other Sister, Lacey.

I'm blogging this so I can show you all the fun ways we incorporated

VINYL LETTERING

into our Party!  :-)

 

This was our Entry Table where the Gifts were kept

and guests picked up their "Game Sheets" 

 

We did not play the usual Baby Shower Games.

Instead we had a list of different "Stations" they could do and if they completed the station they got raffle tickets to put in to a drawing at the end of the night for some fun prizes!

One of the Stations was our Photo Booth!

My Aunt took the photo's for us and we had all sorts of fun props.

The wind was blowing so hard, our back drop kept flying away along with everything else at our party!

 

PHOTO BOOTH FUN!

ME AND MY SISTERS! 

 

 

Another one of the Stations that we got in big trouble for was our

"STICK THE STACHE" GAME!

Similar to "Pin the Tail on the Donkey"

But we used a Photo of our Cousin (The "Baby's Daddy")

and used MUSTACHES to pin on him as we blind folded our guests!

We are in trouble because ONE of us 3 Sisters came up with the idea,

ONE of us went and got the picture photo shopped and blown up, and ONE of us suggested sticking it on FACEBOOK and tagging him!!!  :)

NONE of us will fess up to any of it, but I'm sure he will get all THREE of us back....

one day! lol.

Another Station was to write advice down on a diaper

for the Mommy!

"Diaper Duty!"

One of our cute Banners.

We used Iron On Vinyl for the onsies!

Table Décor

We had a Cupcake Buffet and Root Beer Float Bar.

It was so windy and such horrible flies every where we ended up taking everything inside and did not get a lot of pictures of our food and dessert tables.

But of course we used the stripey straws and mason jars with vinyl mustaches on them for the Root Beer Floats!

We also bought solid colored plates and cups and added Vinyl Mustaches to them.

(Sorry no photo)

 

The Center pieces

we had on all the tables 

Another banner we made with paper and vinyl.

This table held the Party favors which were mustache cut out sugar cookies

my Aunt made for us!

My Mom and sweet Nephew!  ;)

 

These were a couple of the prizes our guests won at our Raffle for completing the Stations.

Names were drawn from a hat and depending on how many stations you completed depended on how many chances you got to win a prize!  :)

 

Despite the horrible wind and the massive amount of flies,

our party was still a success and everyone had a good time!

FIRECRACKER TUTORIAL

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!

6/14/17:  You can order the Vinyl for a set of
3 Fire Crackers
HERE: https://form.jotform.us/71293567984169
You will receive 12 red stripes and 6 white stars for $10

(plus $6.00 flat rate shipping for all vinyl ordered at one time)

 

Ok, so I have had a bunch of people ask me HOW I made these adorable

Firecrackers for my front step!

I had not planned on doing a tutorial since they were just for ME, so I did not take pics of my work. :(

 but I will post what I can to make it as easy for you as possible!!

First of all I was browsing good ol' Pinterest and stumbled across this Firecracker Tutorial HERE. 

I fell in LOVE with them and knew right away it would be my next craft project!

 I did however want mine a little bit more rustic/country so I switched mine up a bit to fit my decor.  I did not follow her steps, I am more of a "wing it" kind of girl.. The fastest and easiest way is best for me and her tutorial was over my head! lol... too perfectly detailed and precise for me...

I just grabbed some spray paint and went for it! ;)

You will need:

-4x4 post

-White Paint

-Blue Paint

-Red Vinyl stripes

-White Vinyl Stars

-Rope for fuse

-Raffia

-Sander for edges

-Ink Pad for edges (optional)

-Painters tape

-1" wood boring bit

-Glue gun
TO ORDER THE RED STRIPES

AND WHITE STARS

FOR THIS PROJECT

EMAIL:  mytalkingwalls@yahoo.com
$10 for 12 red stripes and 6 white stars
(plus shipping)

1.  Cut 3 pieces from your 4x4 post.

30" for tallest firecracker

22" for middle firecracker

16" for smallest firecracker

2.  Spray paint all 3 sticks white. 

Spray the whole piece, all 4 sides and ends.

3.  Once your white is dry, you will paint the blue on.

You will need to measure down from the top of each firecracker and tape off with painters tape.

I only used a strip or two of tape where I measured, enough to keep the blue away from the white.

I used a paint brush on this part to paint on the blue.

So you will need to measure down from the top:

9" on the tallest firecracker

7"  on the middle firecracker

5.5"  on the smallest firecracker

Make sure to paint the tops blue as well and don't worry if it is not a PERFECT blue line when you remove the tape, the raffia will cover up any messy parts! ;)

4.  Apply White Vinyl Stars 

5.  Apply Red Stripes on each side of Firecracker

6.  Sand and distress your edges

This gives it the Antiqued look.

7.  Drill out a hole in the top of each firecracker for the "fuse" to stick out of

 I used a 1" wood boring bit and drilled out a hole about 1 1/4″ deep.

8.  Place the rope into your drilled out hole.

I just cut  a piece of rope off, no exact measurements.

I also put some hot glue down in the hole to help keep the rope in there secure.

9.  Tie raffia around your fireworks where the blue line meets the white paint.

I used a little bit of hot glue on the back sides to secure the raffia to the wood.

All finished and cute, cute, cute!!!!

 You can order the Vinyl for a set of 3 Fire Crackers at mytalkingwalls@yahoo.com

You will receive 12 red stripes and 6 white stars for $10

plus shipping.
