Insta Friday

April 25, 2014 by Crafty Teacher Lady +

BIG NEWS, FOLKS: I’m on Instagram! 
Follow me @CraftyTeacherLady

It’s the end of April Vacation week and I’ve been loving all this free
time to enjoy my hobbies, some down time, and catching up with friends! Here’s a glimpse of what I’ve been up to recently via my iPhone & Instagram pics…

Finally got around to creating a gallery wall to surround my flat screen! 
Look for a post all about it next week…

Went to a ‘facial hair pageant’ for men! Was suuuuuper entertaining and hilarious! 
Here I am with two of the contestants:
Enjoyed the spring sunshine and a picnic at the beach with one of my dearest friends…

  
Have you tried the waterlogue app? It turns your photos into water color paintings! I love having time to just play around and be creative!

I also played around with my Silhouette Portrait cutting machine to create some art…


Dinner in town with some of my oldest and dearest friends! We’ve known each other since the earliest days of high school, so like 18 years now! They make me laugh so much!!

And this also makes me laugh…hysterically…it’s a show on Comedy Central where people get really, really drunk and then try and retell a famous event in history! Did I mention it’s HYSTERICAL?? I binge watched the entire first season and it was amazing…this history teacher gives it ‘two thumbs up’ (and advocates responsible consumption of alcohol)!

Off for a shopping and lunch date! What are you up to today? 
Linking up for with Jeanette at Life Rearranged for InstaFriday

    Waterlogue is awesome! I did a post a little while ago on how it's helping me decorate our house 🙂

    Drunk History sounds like a good time, I'll have to check it out!

Absolutely gorgeous afternoon making memories with Absolutely gorgeous afternoon making memories with my sweet girl! We picked the best berries, then went home where my little sous chef practiced her fine motor skills by cutting the strawberries for homemade shortcake- my all time favorite dessert (and quickly becoming C’s favorite, too)! 🍓 

The last couple of months have been super challenging regarding some unexpected health challenges for me, resulting in an emergency surgery 4.5 weeks ago, and getting back to feeling good enough to go on outings like today was at the top of my priority-list! I felt good and had a wonderful time with my best little bud!! 🥰

Also shout out to @browdersfreshpickins for allowing us to pick all along the outside rows so that C could easily use her walker in the field!
Happy Easter from our (reluctant) Bunny Stanley 🐶 and our happy little Reese’s-loving gal!! 🥰
It’s always such a wonderful start to the weeken It’s always such a wonderful start to the weekend when a visit to @cafe_davina is on the agenda!! If you haven’t been, this adorable coffee house and crêperie is located within the beautiful grounds of the @thepinnerhouse, a boutique inn with cozy rooms and cottages! Both are a must visit in downtown Suffolk, VA!
Some adorable Valentine’s Day printable cards an Some adorable Valentine’s Day printable cards and decor from my @littlecpaperie Etsy shop! Head to my profile @craftyteacherlady OR @littlecpaperie for a link to download any of these cute items and spread some love! 🥰💗🥰💗🥰💗
I added some sweetness to C’s room for Valentine I added some sweetness to C’s room for Valentine’s Day! 💗 Even the little holidays are so much more fun with a little one here to celebrate! 

💗 This heart garland is easy to make using the printable I created for my Etsy shop @littlecpaperie…just print on card-stock, cut out the hearts, punch some holes, and thread onto some cute string! Make as many garlands as you wish, in any length! 🥰 Now go spread some love! 💗💗💗
And just like that, she’s 4!! ❤️🥰🍓❤️🥰❤️

We had a small family party while in Maine and I had so much fun putting together all the details! My favorite part of the decor was making the cake toppers to put onto a plain white bakery cake (I also added some fresh strawberries). I printed some strawberries and flowers on card stock and glued them to wood skewers. I made the pennant flags and bunting out of fabric from Joannes and used the same gingham for the table runners. It brings me so much joy to put together a little birthday party for my sweet little girl! Watching her grow and seeing her personality blossom is the greatest privilege of my life…she’s the best thing to ever happen to me! 

And on that note, Happy Birthday, C, and Happy New Year to all of you!
