Look at what I did!

I'm sure no one reads my blog, but I've been hearing people say that Pinterest is useless because no one actually does what they pin. Well I do. Especially since Jerad and I just moved back to Nashville and we're closer to craft stores. Most of the recipes I cook were found on Pinterest, but I'll start showing them on here.

 

But first, a recap of the last year. 

 

1. I got married.
2. Jerad and I moved to South Carolina.
3. We adopted a precious baby that I love more than life! Draco Tacos Frazier.(Weird story)

4. Jerad got out of the military.
5. We moved back to Nashville and got our first apartment.
6. I've been spending a lot of time with Parker now that we've moved back, he joined the Army, and has been stationed at Fort Campbell only and hour and some change away.
7. Parker and I got tattoos last weekend. He got a cross and the initials SML on his right shoulder, and I got this!

It says I Love You in my birth mothers handwriting. I had been wanting a tattoo for a while, but I understand that they are permanent and I didn't want something I like today but may not 20 years from now. While packing the house in Beaufort, I found a letter to my dad from mom which she signed, 'I love you, Stacey' and I knew instantly that that was what I wanted and I would NEVER regret it. I love it. Plus my husband keeps pointing to my wrist and smiling. His silent way of telling me he loves me in public. :)

 

 

So here's my first project.



 I splatter painted each canvas with about 5 different colors and then sprayed them liberally with a water bottle to give it a water color look. Once that dried, I took masking tape and taped off sections, then painted the entire thing a gray blue. After that dried, I peeled off the tape and outlined each section with a dark red. I love it.
