There are approximately 11 weeks left of summer and I plan on crafting with my girls

 as many of those days as I can..... but being the matron of honor for my best friend will take up

 some of that time...... so we are going to include some of the 

wedding and bridal shower decorations in our craft endeavors this summer.

Right now, I am in the process of making a "He says, she says" bridal shower game.

 I found a cowboy and cowgirl both in bathtubs. How perfect?!?!?! 

The shower theme is Old time western bath. I thought it would be fun to stray from the umbrella theme. Therefore, we are going with galvanized bucket decor and doilies provided by the bride's mother.

This bridal shower invitation was printed on a card stock that had a worn look to it. 

The doily is the regular run-of-the-mill paper doily wrapped around the invite. Tie a thin ribbon VERY carefully through the holes in the doily and TA-DA!! And I hate hate hate blurring out things on my creations but, can't let out personal information. You know how it is. 

As for my girls' adventures right now, Maddi is out of town with her grandparents having a blast playing with new friends and seeing new sights. I miss her terribly, but I know that her mind is being filled with new ideas for her next crafts. I am thinking about making some modge podge'd  canvas collages of her artwork. That way I can keep the majority of it displayed instead of packed away in a million boxes. And yes, there literally would be a million boxes. She does that much artwork. Riley is more in the scribble mode, but she too always has a crayon or pencil in her hand with the other hand reaching out for a piece of paper. 

Until next time, keep your pencils sharpened and scratch paper handy 

because you never know when an idea will hit you. Happy crafting!
