DIY Canvases

I went to hobby lobby...again...and I bought some cheap canvases and fabric and made my own canvases. The nice thing about this is that I can continue to buy more fabric and change it up whenever I want. But I really need to stop going to hobby lobby!

Kind of weird colors but I can change it whenever.

Craft projects.

I went online to my sister's Pinterest page and saw her many DIY Projects. I went to hobby lobby the other day and decided to try some.

 

This is the first one I decided to do. I bought a mason jar from hobby lobby and some mod podge for glueing. When I got home I took some old sheet music and cut a heart in the middle of it and then glued it on the outside of the jar. It came out pretty well.

 

 

 

The second project I did I have been waiting to finish for a while now. Both Erin and I have something similar in our bedrooms. I found a lady who makes nine cubes and will put lyrics to a song on them. I got one set for me and one for Erin months ago. I just now got the canvases to put the sheets on and hang them up. The song I put up is "All My Loving" by the Beatles. Logan and I enjoy singing this and harmonizing together...such nerds we are!

 

 

So glad I finally have this up!

 

My next attempt at a project will be to buy some cheap canvases and staple fabric to them. Thank goodness Hobby Lobby has sales a lot.

New Additions to the New Place!

New Stuff!

 

 

Bought this amazing chair on Overstock.com. I thought it would look cool...and its pretty comfy too!

 

 

 

Thank you IKEA for the cubicle. We are very close to an IKEA...I better be careful or I will turn into my sister and be obsessed with it! Haha.

 

 

 

New set of colorful knives that Logan bought. This should really brighten up our utensil drawer.

 

 



Our new door mat!

I thought this was fitting for our place.

Last week with our Texas friends!

Logan and I have a favorite bar...The Flying Saucer! There are lots of locations, but the original one is in Fort Worth, Texas right across the street from Bass Hall. You can get a UFO Card that you use to monitor how many beers you have drank at the saucer. If you try 200 different beers you get a saucer with your name on it and it is placed on the wall at the saucer! The only rule is you can only try 3 different beers a night that will count on your card...so it takes some time. Logan finished his at the beginning of summer and decided to do his party right before we left for Maryland! Along with the saucer they make for you, they also give you $150.00 of free beer for you and friends! It was awesome!

 

Reagan and I!

 

Zach, Ashley and Logan...a few beers in!

 

It was a great night...I swear I took more pictures of everyone, but I dont know what happened to them. Oh well, it was great...there was beer, food and friends!

 

 

Another wonderful place we like is Barcadia. A bar with a bunch of old arcade games and huge jenga set to play!

 

Barcadia! With my best friend Veronica and her boyfriend Alfredo (Logans good friend from high school) and our great and amazing friend, Jesse!

 

 

Love her so much!!

 

 

One of our last nights at the Townhouse.

 

Date night...doesnt matter where we live, we will have amazing date nights!

 

 

 

 

 

 



Corrie and Kasey's Wedding in Estes Park, Colorado!

Two trips to Colorado in one summer has been amazing! Although this trip was a bit better because Logan was able to drive with me and split the driving.

 

 

 

Getting into Estes Park, Colorado!

 

We decided to save money and camp out instead of a hotel. The camp site was really nice, but the tent we packed should really only hold one person and not two adults! It really did make for a great memory and story!

 

Our tent! The first night was terrible....I ended moving to the car and sleeping. I had a few drinks before I took this picture...that explains the smiling!

 

My rugged, strong outdoor man!

 

I believe I packed two comforters, two fleece blankets and a sheet...still wasnt enough, haha.

 

View from the Stanley Hotel. This is where Corrie and Kasey were getting married!

We came early to see Corrie getting ready. She had her whole day scheduled down to the second...and made room to see us before the ceremony started.

 

Logan...just being Logan. Thats why I love him.

 

 

Me...being me.

 

Before we got ready for the wedding, we decided to play some putt putt golf!

 

That is a face that is saying, "Ouch, looks like par 6 for me!"

 

I really have no patience to figure out how hard to hit the ball, so I just hit it as hard as I can. That may be the reason I did not win the game. :)

 

Proof that Logan and I got a whole in 1 on the windmill hole!

 

Wedding time!!!

 

Outdoor ceremony that faces the mountains...so beautiful!

I didnt take pictures during the wedding...I got distracted by the groom and groomsmen in kilts! It was so awesome!

Got this one from facebook! So cute! 

Party time and open bar!!!

 

I didnt take many pictures here either...I was too busy on the dance floor with a drink in my hand!

Corrie looked amazing though and it was an awesome Scottish wedding!

 

 

Last day in Estes Park! Enjoying some of the town. Notice that it is August and I am wearing a fleece! Love it here!

 

Good Bye, Rockies!

 

Good Bye, Estes Park!

 



Crested Butte, Colorado!

 

Driving my wonderful car 14 hours and its all worth it when I arrived at Crested Butte, Colorado! Logan got a month gig here this past summer and it was awesome that I got to come and see him! So beautiful and a nice vacation from the Texas heat!

 

View from Logan's condo at Crested Butte. Amazing!

 

 

 

Just finished a ride up the mountains. I LOVE COLORADO!

 

Riding back down the mountains. That guy in the back was a wedding photographer and was taking pictures of the bride and groom on the cart behind us. By the way, these carts are really high up from the ground...scary but aweseom.

 

View from the cart line.

 

Crested Butte.

 

 

Inside the town where the bus shuttles you downtown to the performance center!

 

Posters for the Crested Butte Opera Festival that Logan was a part of this summer!

 

What a great trip!
