It turned out so cute but was specifically made as a gift for a man and did not want to "girly" it up with a bow so I just added some blue and silver wire twisted together to give it something more so than just a wire to hang from! Take a look,....<br />

These turned out super cute. One of my friends came over to get Craftin' Scrapping Happy with me and wanted an all Arkansas Razorback one for herself and so we made her one too! I drew out all the artwork, made the bows and letters and she painted hers. I did everything on the other one being the Tiger/Hog one! I am so ready for Football Season this Friday it is not even funny!!! So with the Hog, I just think it turned out super cute! The one with the Tiger, we you know I had to make the Tiger a female to represent me and the Hog to be a male to represent my husband! Ha! Yes it is true,.... until further notice this marriage has been put on hold for football season! Bahahahahaha! Check them out below:<br />

These were so cute and fun to make,... gonna make others and of course try some different shapes too! Hope you enjoyed and as for the other stuff I have completed before doing these footballs today I will get those posted as well! Well look for these on Pinterest as I am about to add my own! Until next time,... ;-)Amanda M.

They turned out so cute and after seeing all the "Toms" and "Bobs" being painted I found some all white shoes similar to them and decided to give it a try and how adorable they did turn out! My husband said they looked store bought which is a huge compliment that he would buy them decorated the way I did them! I have plans to make me some as I found some black shoes similar to the "Toms" and will be painting them this weekend or I hope so and will post pics of them?! HA! I have done other stuff since being on here last and have plans to update those pics too but for now,.... check out how cute the shoes turned out as I freehanded all of it on my own by looking at a t-shirt that had the "fighting beaver" head on it,....<br />

I am thinking Kayleigh will have a lot of friends wanting some?! :-) Too cute but really more so cute and Adorable in person! Simply love how they turned out and was getting excited before I had ever finished them,.... I had to stop myself from TOTALLY blinging them out as I thought it would take away from the beaver head! Either way,... gonna be cute on her! More pics to come,....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

YUM!Wow,... it has been over a month,... yes I know,.... I am so trying to stay up on all of this but with having surgery and being out of commission for a while I am ready to get back at it! So today is Memorial Day and I have decided to try my hand with making a cake with Red, White and Blue cake layers! It was not the prettiest cake I have ever made but man it sure was delicious and so easy! (Using a box mix!) Ha! Yes I know I cheated! LOL Either way,... look,....<br />

I put the frosting in the microwave just a few seconds in order to drizzle over the cake (because I hate to spread icing). Ha! I do this all the time with chocolate ones I do and so fast and easy!</div>

I like how the layers are not perfectly straight across and a little off! Maybe with a square or rectangle pan it would be different! Have fun in making yours because you know you want to try it too! ;-P</div>

So I have been sick in which naturally I got it from my kiddo's so I have not been doing much but I have managed in the past 2 weekends to move my scrapbook craft area into our main room of our house from our bedroom with yes,... Lance's approval! (As if I asked before doing so! LOL) No he is really good with understanding my "addiction", "obsession" and "therapy" I NEED at times! ;-P This just allows me to be in the same room and area as my kid's and family are and still be able to scrap a little without feeling isolated from them! I really do like it and look forward to being able to do more since it is staring at me everyday calling my name to come over and get Scrappin' Happy! LOL ;-) Anyways,... check it out,...<br />

We did this at our last GS meeting! Of course I had to make one with the girls'! hehehe It turned out so cute. So basically start out with two pieces of coordinating 12x12 scrapbook paper or really any size you want to make. I used 12x12 paper. So get your supplies ready,..... cardboard (I used a display board so we could make more than one or you can use the rectangle cardboard in the cake decorating section as I have done before), exacto knife, glue, bamboo sticks, straws (colors to match your paper or clear), pens, and/or ribbon & flowers or any embellishments if you choose to decorate it with. You will need your glue gun also! :-)<br />
<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So cut a piece of cardboard for the 12x12 paper you will want your "to do items" on and then another piece a bit bigger for the piece of the board to show behind the sticks and straws. Glue the paper on the front of the pieces you have chosen. (Be sure to glue your paper correctly on the cardboard so you have the holes on the side of the cardboard). See below,...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Cut the 12x12 one off center such as at a 1/3 mark. The bigger side will be on the left for writing the tasks on and the smaller on the right side. Take your bamboo sticks and place in the side of your cardboard with the corragated view showing on the sides, not on the top and bottom, spaced out for as many "chores" you will have listed. I chose to do a "Every Day" and Every Weekend" chore list. You can do "Every Day" and "Every Week" if you would like and just add ever how many straws you will need on the "Every Week" section as to how many times a week that chore is to be done! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Once you have the straws where you want them and figured it out, use the glue gun to place a small amount on the end and push into the holes in order to keep them from moving around on you when inserting the others. This is very important or you will want to throw it all down by the end of it because they move and come out of the holes once in without the glue! :-) Check it out below.</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">After you do that pull it out and then place a little glue on each end as you did before and insert them in the correct holes to hold the sticks still. Once you have done that you can glue ribbon on to the back to make it to hand or use velcro or how ever you want to hang it. I chose ribbon and to cover the back of it with white cardstock to cover the ends of the ribbon as below,....</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

So cute and practical for her! Unlimited possibilites on decorating these such as putting their names down the right side, buttons, etc.!

And we did on February 26, 2012! :-) And you all know me,.. "Little Miss Crafty, Cricut User and Abuser" and let me tell you I definitely put a hurt on my Cricut for this shower! It was so much fun and I enjoyed making all the decorations, or nearly all of them with the exception of the banner in which I altered to match the theme we were doing and the table cloths! LOL The theme was "monkey's" and was inspired by some napkins (or so I think, it was chosen without my input but loved it!) that had the cutest little monkey on it! So Jennifer, Brandy and myself got together at my house and looked over Cricut Carts to see what kind of monkey's I had and we used 2 different monkey's off of the "New Arrival" and "Create a Critter". Check it out and I will tell along the way what I used and how it was done! :-)<br />
Here's the napkin that got the theme started and inspired the cake and everything else,....<br />

</div>Okay so obviously we used Cricut cartridges and there was one not pictured that I used to cut out the cake topper and Monogram letter for Spencer's frame (both pictured below) and that cartridge is called "Storybook", a really cute cart!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So the 1st "Monkey" bank was an idea I had for two reasons, one for Spencer's 1st "monkey" bank to start saving up for him and then two,... to be used in playing a game! The ladies had SO MUCH FUN playing this game! I called it Spencer's First and I asked 20 questions of "How many of you,..." and if you answered yes with to yourself or out loud (out loud is so much FUN) you had to put in how ever much money you want to! In order to play this you can surprise people of how to play this and hope they brought change or bills in order to play or tell them on the invite to bring pocket change! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">SO MUCH FUN!! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Even if everyone runs out of money, which they did during this one because we had some crazy questions, still continue the game as this is an excellent ice breaker! I was over the games for this shower and came up with 2 other ones very cute too! Had a blast doing this one!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I had some note paper Kayleigh had gotten me last year for Mother's Day in a basket of items she gave me and they were perfect! I had seen another popcorn holder on Pinterest that said "Ready to Pop" with a pregnant woman silhouette. The bags were brown paper lunch bags cut in half and fringed by Jennifer and Brandy and I made the labels! Too cute!

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">These were cut of course on the Cricut and were the cake decorations! So easy and cute! Basically I cutout the "S" and monkey's and then glued the "S" to a piece of cardboard and cut it out gluing a monkey to the "S" and the other monkey's for the rest of the cake! Turned out really cute!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Okay so these guys were so much fun to make and were inspired by Brandy's daughter, Gracie, when she brought home a monkey she had made in her preschool class last year that Brandy still had! I used my Cricut Cartridge "New Arrival" to make the face and parts of the face for the ears and "stomach with belly button". It was not on the cartridge and was extra pieces cut and so I seen a perfect opp. for a belly! Really cute! You can pretty much see how they were made?! If not message me and I can tell you! Super easy!</div><br />

GO BEAVERS!!!So naturally you support the athletics at the school your kid's attend or in the community in which you live right?! Well we are the Beavers and our colors are Red and White! Of course Black comes with it too! :-) So in my Girl Scout Troop I have serving as their leader (Leader 4 years now! YAY!) I had them make a craft to go along with one of their Try-It's they were to earn. The craft I decided they would do was bracelet's made out of buttons and ribbon! They turned out so cute and here is one I made,... of course the girls' were a "little different" as I am working with 2nd & 3rd graders and have not yet learned my habit of being a perfectionist (sometimes a bad thing due to time restraints)! hehehe Either way,... they are so easy to make and all you need is buttons of your size and color choice, stretchy bead cord (preferably clear) and ribbon of your choice! See below,... and no my cutting board is clean I just use it for EVERYTHING I do on my scrapbooking desk! :-)<br />

I took a pain pill and then got started! :-) Kayleigh and I worked on laundry (mostly her ;-P) and I managed to get some things done today that I have had on my list of things to do as for as crafts and "needs to be done"! I made a headband holder and finished some of Kayleigh's flower hair clips! Looky, looky what I did today,......</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">First I started with a "Finish" dishwasher tablet container (you could use an oatmeal canister too as on Pinterest), a can of black spray paint (or any color you want), a candle holder (preferably taller than shorter), some ribbon, flower and glue gun!,....</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

At this point it is pretty much done unless you want to decorate it and anyone that knows me, knows that I LOVE flowers and ribbon! hehehe So this is for Kayleigh and since her room is decorated in Zebra and Hot Pink I chose to go with that! :-) Decorate how you wish! See my below pictures!,...<br />

So I think this is so cute and think I may just have to make some of her friends one of these as they are all about some headbands! ;-)<br />
<br />
The other project I did today was fixing some flowers I had bought for Kayleigh's hair a little over a year ago! YIKES! I know! I have never fixed them to where she could wear them,... I mean I guess she could have worn them but they were WAY too tall off of her head because they were originally for plants! These flowers were for decorations for plants by clipping on the massive clip (definitely not for hair!) to add some flair to your plants. They were only $1.00/ each so when I seen them I decided I could totally make these HAIR flowers by simply just changing out the clip! See them below,... some are bigger than others but I had to get every color they had! hehehe<br />
<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">See the clip,... huge! I had already taken it off of this one and wanted you to see the comparison,...</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLzyMOKz5rL0p5Wz1yu11iT7O6DuCAGtFRfGg5fHZgPKJJZY3yifv5qsNTCvJqFf7bHURXb7LfQEEjEM2epWPvBqXOBbjj6kHltEEauBh2w6ddZnTrjV7bnV5JEsLlxT7vzGvYEv240Bo/s1600/IMG_7058.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLzyMOKz5rL0p5Wz1yu11iT7O6DuCAGtFRfGg5fHZgPKJJZY3yifv5qsNTCvJqFf7bHURXb7LfQEEjEM2epWPvBqXOBbjj6kHltEEauBh2w6ddZnTrjV7bnV5JEsLlxT7vzGvYEv240Bo/s320/IMG_7058.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Of course this was after I changed them out. Yes I know I did not wrap the clip but it is for Kayleigh and if this were going to be a gift for someone else's child I would have covered the clip but Kayleigh does not mind and with her hair it is better to leave them uncovered so they stay in better! :-)</div><br />

I have stayed out of the limelight or so it appears by this blog! ;-P I have absolutely done a lot as for as in crafts, parties, photos, etc. But have not had the time to post the pictures. I really need to get on the ball with all of this as this was to be a blog to document my interest and things I have done but it seems as though my Facebook has become my blog! LOL. I will do better! I have been down health wise and actually off now from work due to some issues but this weekend I feel as though I will try to get caught up on some things and this blog! Hope you enjoy some of the things I have done as I certainly have! Later!Amanda M.

I worked my butt off but for some reason I couldn't tell it?! It all started with the seal on our front bathroom toilet going bad and needing to replace it ofcourse that day ecspecially since that is the kids and guests' bathroom. So I had to clean the water up and that led to me deciding to clean the entire bathroom which led to the other bathroom and then into the laundry room and then the kitchen,.... I wanted to do the entire the house and had plans to, but phew,... man I was tired by 5 pm! Yes it took me that long to get all that completed! :-) I will get the rest of it this coming weekend and maybe even shampoo carpet!? NO SHOES PLEASE! LOL At least that way I may keep it clean for atleast ONE day! Around 5:00 pm, a dear friend of mine, Karla and her daughter Hannah, came over and I helped Hannah with some math homework and then we ate a spaghetti feast with a delicious salad and french bread. Yum! After dinner we watched the movie "Faster" with The Rock and Billy Bob Thornton in it,... it was pretty good! It had a twist though. Good friends, good times!<br />
<br />
Sunday morning came early it seemed,.. maybe we were just tired from the late movie?! Either way,... church was good as always! I received homework to complete before next Sunday,... shouldn't be too hard I hope. After church we went to eat at a Mexican restuarant with some friends from church, Kim and her daughters, Drew, Jesse, and others! We had a huge table of 12 people! It was fun,.... afterwards of course it was off to Wal-Mart to get things for this week and then home. We watched another movie called "Skyline",... it is a sci-fi movie that was okay but about aliens,... not really my kind of movies but it was time I got to spend with my hubby on the couch to relax with him while the kids were watching their own movie!<br />
<br />
Overall, we had a good weekend,... I got "some" of the things done that I wanted to accomplish,... I still have my room and the living room office area to clean,... yuck! Oh well,... it has to be done! :-)<br />
<br />

Friday night Kayleigh spent the night with her best friends, Madison and Kylee! Saturday morning we had our Girl Scout Cookie Booth and completely sold out of cookies! Woo Hoo! After the sale we went and ate at the Chinese buffet in Malvern and then back to my house where they played all day long. <br />
<br />
Saturday night, we had some friends, Jennifer, Jaret, Madison, Kim, and Troy, come over for a Mexican Dinner with all the fixins'! So delicious ecspecially the oreo ice cream cake we had afterwards! We played board games until about 1:00 am! <br />
<br />
Sunday morning we got up, went to church and joining us was Jennifer, Jaret, Madison, Brandy, Stephen, Bri, Gracie, and their cousin! So awesome! After church we all went back to my house and had a huge fish fry with all the fixins' including pinto beans, hushpuppies, fries, coleslaw, bread n' butter pickles, dipping sauces, etc! YUMMY! It was so delicious that I ate and ate and just could not eat dessert! I would guess I gained about 10 pounds! ;-P <br />
<br />
We really are so fortunate to have friends like we have! I thoroughly enjoyed this past weekend with friends, family, and beautiful weather,...Amanda M.

I'm ready! I want to share with you what we Chaney's have been up to and what we like to do! <br />
<br />
I have been doing a lot of scrapbooking here lately and love to share my works with my friends and figured what better way to show what we do than with a blog! I finished Kayleigh's girl scout book and am working on her's and Kaiden's baby books now! I know, I know,... why now!? Well the thing is,... I have time now I guess?! Who knows but I wanted to start on them so they would have them before they turn 50 years old! LOL No seriously,... I had other projects going but now ready to get on their books so I will be posting tid bits here and there of their books among other things we are doing. Such as,... <br />
<br />
Lance right now is working on his fishing boat,... I should have taken a before picture because he is working on it now and what little bit he has completed on it I can already tell it will be nice once he is finished with it! I cannot wait to go camping and fishing! WooHoo! Can you say FUN TIMES COMING! Kaiden I know will enjoy that as well as Kayleigh! She loves to fish,... I still have that to scrap too! Oh my,... a lot of work I have to get done,... one day at a time! :-) <br />
<br />
If you have any pictures of the kiddos, please e-mail or send me a copy of them! I have lost a lot of pictures, ecspecially of Kayleigh, when my hard drive crashed on my computer so baby pictures and so on would be awesome?! Kaiden I have covered! LOL Not unless you might have taken some and I did not get a copy?! Hmmmmm,.... Christy!? LOL Just kidding! Either way,... I will be posting and keeping you all updated through this blog and Facebook,... hopefully I can keep up! <br />

It turned out so cute! Lance said that it looked store bought and would have thought that had he not seen me make it! LOL I guess it was good huh?! We bought Shawn, birthday boy, a Spiderman Fishing Pole and of course I wanted a matching card,... I was not able to find one that I liked so I decided I would make it! Lance found a Spiderman tag card at Wal-Mart and we bought it to use on the card for the Spiderman image. I used red, blue, and black cardstock. With the black I embossed a spider web for texture and design and then yellow eyelets to bring in the yellow from the title and attach the image and poem I wrote on the inside. I thnk it is soooooo cute,.... check it out!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjli66qzaSMvccsAttBuKZ6eB9D0CcV0iFKh66Mp3Q0-OOuWTVMrNXajHMc4ZqfvvEVh0UpK7aHVTLlSBTsOws3zD_VTh1S73AdmpUTABNiqUB6oFr8_S6PuUMc_-kiVOEjF7Y4xfi1po/s1600-h/Shawn's+3rd+B-Day+Card+-+Spiderman+(5).JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360635696144560562" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjli66qzaSMvccsAttBuKZ6eB9D0CcV0iFKh66Mp3Q0-OOuWTVMrNXajHMc4ZqfvvEVh0UpK7aHVTLlSBTsOws3zD_VTh1S73AdmpUTABNiqUB6oFr8_S6PuUMc_-kiVOEjF7Y4xfi1po/s320/Shawn's+3rd+B-Day+Card+-+Spiderman+(5).JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicCf-5t6op0oeX97eRBjxdYg3DQ1QHrHAbfRfCCr2iUVcsz5UNfxCTd95ifii-iR-avxJszZBlOX08NVnNECZyKVRxDoJKLsms4CIH5DJVhBOcOs53xP6LJz0bSo2m_gNeNYpFDkc-brk/s1600-h/Shawn's+3rd+B-Day+Card+-+Spiderman+(1).JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 240px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360635687136970706" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicCf-5t6op0oeX97eRBjxdYg3DQ1QHrHAbfRfCCr2iUVcsz5UNfxCTd95ifii-iR-avxJszZBlOX08NVnNECZyKVRxDoJKLsms4CIH5DJVhBOcOs53xP6LJz0bSo2m_gNeNYpFDkc-brk/s320/Shawn's+3rd+B-Day+Card+-+Spiderman+(1).JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT221d__OmoUkY7DkVebxsEPGXw35rGixqACcBv7ySGnCjlZwLdlKzWP9IfrS4v5Qat8tq5uU5NIJlam8032gS_sNXfUX6AAKcu_pVxl_I9NzmcAeadv7iX1taSbebWGlNXbWLCSBQhxg/s1600-h/Shawn's+3rd+B-Day+Card+-+Spiderman+(8).JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 240px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360635708140184658" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT221d__OmoUkY7DkVebxsEPGXw35rGixqACcBv7ySGnCjlZwLdlKzWP9IfrS4v5Qat8tq5uU5NIJlam8032gS_sNXfUX6AAKcu_pVxl_I9NzmcAeadv7iX1taSbebWGlNXbWLCSBQhxg/s320/Shawn's+3rd+B-Day+Card+-+Spiderman+(8).JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDMxEBra64TYNuIfcti9sYQgrsoTYeFFlzGLiD747SOICvmICOJ78rSAOouE4hyFcAeOGaxyIP6pcyVJkzsrUXawM1IL-GFH6Lj2THhb3pZL-93BWZ5dBFiRtzMhYD_FFN1x0dri7Uvak/s1600-h/Shawn's+3rd+B-Day+Card+-+Spiderman+(3).JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 240px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360635703964187490" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDMxEBra64TYNuIfcti9sYQgrsoTYeFFlzGLiD747SOICvmICOJ78rSAOouE4hyFcAeOGaxyIP6pcyVJkzsrUXawM1IL-GFH6Lj2THhb3pZL-93BWZ5dBFiRtzMhYD_FFN1x0dri7Uvak/s320/Shawn's+3rd+B-Day+Card+-+Spiderman+(3).JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5GB8pGrOjkxWGYMEy5pRAUs2m6oa0rgGeizzNv4GHmam-uIVRSIZqOny7CknTyeHifZyDu9Ocbc5DWzHoNEebvinlTBFFsrB8iOww1y66SiQPasR3ekyLVsVKI4oF8R036Rz92LdwjVQ/s1600-h/Shawn's+3rd+B-Day+Card+-+Spiderman+(9).JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360635715815326706" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5GB8pGrOjkxWGYMEy5pRAUs2m6oa0rgGeizzNv4GHmam-uIVRSIZqOny7CknTyeHifZyDu9Ocbc5DWzHoNEebvinlTBFFsrB8iOww1y66SiQPasR3ekyLVsVKI4oF8R036Rz92LdwjVQ/s320/Shawn's+3rd+B-Day+Card+-+Spiderman+(9).JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div></div></div></div>Amanda M.

I am a happily married woman with two wonderful children and a wonderful husband! I am into scrapbooking and crafty things and believe that is almost become an addiction! ; ) I am very fortunate to be married to someone that understands my hobbies, interests, and all that wonderful sane (sometimes insane) stuff and I as well understand his! LOL We still have not figured out whose is more expensive though,... ; ) Either way,... I made this blog so that I can share my interest with friends and family and keep in touch with all the wonderful things that we face and do each week. I will also be posting crafty things that I have done and come up with, hence the hobby focus I have emphasized already! LOL So excited to get started,... ready?!Amanda M.
