Photo Challenge

10 weeks ago when Jason left for Basic I knew I would miss him like crazy.... but I thought there might be a few things he would miss too. So everyday I took a photo of something that made me think of him... I should say, I took a photo everyday of ONE of the things that made me think of him. We finally got to see each other so I put the finishing touches on the book to give to him.

I had this pic laying around but I'd like to put one of us from
his graduation.

My 1st shot at binding. It was actually pretty fun once I got the
hang of it. Sorry there's no tutorial with this blog. This book came
together in a rush and I wasn't quite sure what or how I was going
to make it.

My stitches need to be tighter but still fun.
I found instructions by watching a video
on youtube.

Pic of the beautiful flowers he sent

Mail from him!

Some of my messages for him

I miss having a glass bottle with him

I miss watching the sunset with him

While he might not admit it I think he misses his little girl

Twigs and Twine .... with some help from the dogs

I decided to get a little crafty with some twigs from the yard and some leftover twine.

Twig Votive

I grabbed some twigs and broke them off in even pieces.

I used my hot glue gun to paste them onto a votive

In some areas I doubled up the twigs

And then added my twine

A little gift for my sweetie

I gathered a few twigs about the same length

Using a knife I CAREFULLY shaved off the first layer of bark
on one of the twigs

(A little hard to see) I wrote my quote in pencil

I broke out my wood burner and copied over my text

I used a rubber band to hold all the sticks together

I wrapped the twine around both ends to hold the sticks together

Let's stick together

Grrrr...... so I finished this last night and was going to publish my blog tonight. Unfortunately it totally slipped my mind that my precious little fur-babies LOVE to chew on sticks. And where did I leave my newest little craft project? On a side table... right where they could reach it.... this is what I came home to....

Not much left

So who did it? This one sure loves munching on sticks

But he looks pretty guilty.
