<br />
I bought this French Dresser (made by Kent Coffey) back in October and have been trying all winter to finish it. Well, I finally did it!
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/nicoleday08/13561731334" title="Untitled by Nicole, on Flickr"><img alt="Untitled" height="281" src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7423/13561731334_2aa576a165.jpg" width="500" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is my first furniture re-stain project, so I'm sure it took me a little longer than most. My plan was to re-stain the top to match the existing end tables in our bedroom and paint the bottom color with Annie Sloan Chalk paint.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think what took the longest was sanding… BIG shock, I know. I sanded the top with 80 grit sand paper using a black and decker mouse sander. Notice I didn't say it was my sander. I borrowed it from my mother and well… I just haven't given it back to her yet. Sorry Mom! :) Now that I have figured out that I enjoy re-finishing old furniture, I should go and buy my own. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What REALLY took the longest was figuring out how to sand the detail on the edges. It appeared to be made out of pine, which whittled away with any touch of power sanding. So in order to save the detail from being obliterated, I had to find something else to use. I tried hand sanding but that was taking too long. I found that using the wire brush attachment on my Dremel took off most of the stain. I just had to do a light follow up with 220 grit sand paper after the wire brush and I was finally done!!</div>

<br />
I found a perfect blog article from <a href="http://www.centsationalgirl.com/2011/08/how-to-restain-a-wood-table-top/" target="_blank">Centsational Girl </a> on how to restain. I went ahead and used pre-conditioner on the wood since I had pine on the edges.<br />

This picture is after Pre-stain conditioner, two coats of Minwax stain, and<br />
two coats of Minwax polyurethane.<br />

Here are all of the products that I used.<br />
<br />
I then applied 2 coats of Annie Sloan's Duck Egg Blue Chalk Paint with my favorite Purdy brush. Annie Sloan Paints suggest using a natural bristle brush, which I did on a previous project. I saw where someone had used a synthetic brush with the chalk paint and had success, so I thought I would try out my Purdy XL brush for this project. I definitely preferred using the Purdy (synthetic) brush over the natural brush. The paint seemed to apply much easier, especially on the second coat. The clean up was a cinch with soap and water.<br />
<br />

As you can tell by the handle, I have gotten plenty of use out of this brush and it still works great!! After my brush dries, I put it back in the original packaging to keep its original shape. If you haven't already invested in a nice paint brush, go ahead and do it! I've used this brush on lots of projects over the past few years and I plan on using it for many more. <br />
<br />
Ok now I'm off my paint brush soap box….*breathe*<br />
<br />
I have used lots of different paints in the past, but nothing like chalk paint. It is super easy to use and clean up after you're done, but you do need to know a few things before you start. I really recommend watching Simply Reinvented's video tutorials for applying <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HK14dbn5tNY"><span id="goog_990763364"></span>chalk paint<span id="goog_990763365"></span></a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hWYKknF5ZE" target="_blank">wax</a>. Check those videos out if you are unsure on how to apply Annie Sloan Chalk Paint and Wax.<br />
<br />
Here is the final product!<br />

I made something very similar to hers. I believe she used burlap behind her buttons instead of paint. <br />

<br />
I bought 14 x 14 canvas and evenly spaced out ~ 2 inch strips of contact paper and applied black paint in between each strip. Once that dried I laid a heart stencil out of contact paper on the center of the canvas. I applied 3 or 4 coats of red paint and let it dry.<br />

I made another stencil using "Set Fire to Rain" font for the Me + You section.<br />

<br />
And the most meticulous part of this project was gluing the buttons on one by one. I bought a couple of packages of red buttons from Michaels for this project. <br />

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nicoleday08/8492536711/" title="IMG_0488 by Raggedy Creek Creations, on Flickr"><img alt="IMG_0488" height="400" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8367/8492536711_661df8f59b.jpg" width="342" /></a></div>
<br />
I made this card last week for a special man who has inspired me along with many others with his passion for music. I took trumpet lessons from him for a couple of years as well as played in numerous community events with him. I was unable to make his 80th birthday party, but I went ahead and mailed him this card. His prefered instrument is the fiddle, so that was the inspiration for this creation.

A couple months back, I was in charge of decorations for my sister-in-law's (and future nephew's!!) baby shower. The theme was airplanes to match the nursery. I put together a banner, mobile and some 3-D airplanes to decorate for the shower. I had planned to take a lot more pictures throughout the process but the mobile ended up being WAY more involved than I expected!</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
I created the banner and it's components using the "Trace function" in the Silhouette Design Studio. The small <a href="http://www.silhouetteonlinestore.com/php/?page=view-shape&id=27882" target="_blank">3-D airplanes</a> on the mantel were from the Silhouette online store.</div>

<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
For this airplane I traced the outer edges of the design and created a white background </div>
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
piece that I could glue each separate piece to for stability.</div>

<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;">
For the mobile, I continued the plane that was in the banner. I also added a couple of additional airplane designs (one I made again with the trace function and the other from the <a href="http://www.silhouetteonlinestore.com/php/?page=view-shape&id=19528" target="_blank">silhouette store</a>) along with a <a href="http://www.silhouetteonlinestore.com/php/?page=view-shape&id=26985" target="_blank">3-D Cloud Design</a>.</div>

I hung my mobile using two different sizes (12" & 18") of MDF rings that I found in the floral department of Michaels. I ran a light silver floral wire through the two rings to connect them and then spray painted the whole hanger in Ivory.</div>

Sorry for the poor photo quality. It was after midnight the night before the shower and I realized that I hadn't taken any pictures of what I was doing. Since I had my iPhone right next to me I snapped a quick photo.</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;">
While the hanger was drying, I laid out my cut-outs in the order I wanted for hanging. I did strings of 3, 4 and 5 items to give it a fuller look. Using a large sewing needle, I strung the cut-outs with some old fishing line that my husband had laying around. I then attached the line to the wire of the hanger. It got to be one big tangled mess after I started to hang the lines, so I hung the mobile from my chandelier and that worked a lot better. Once I connected all of the lines, I spaced the cut-outs to where I wanted them and tied a knot right below the last cut-out and trimmed off the remaining line.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I saw this idea from <a href="http://www.thehouseofsmiths.com/2010/12/christmas-gift-ideas.html" target="_blank">The House of Smiths</a> last year and couldn't wait to try it! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nicoleday08/8257040062/" title="White Christmas Painted Board by Raggedy Creek Creations, on Flickr"><img alt="White Christmas Painted Board" height="300" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8072/8257040062_d72067b896.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started with a wood plaque from Hobby Lobby ($3).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nicoleday08/8266840536/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Using push pins to keep wood off of newspaper by Raggedy Creek Creations, on Flickr"><img alt="Using push pins to keep wood off of newspaper" height="150" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8213/8266840536_49e23afcdb.jpg" width="200" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nicoleday08/8265771451/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Using push pins to keep wood off of newspaper by Raggedy Creek Creations, on Flickr"><img alt="Using push pins to keep wood off of newspaper" height="150" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8483/8265771451_0dcb2f2d6f.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I then placed a push pin in each corner of the plaque to keep the paint from sticking to the newspaper.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I covered the entire plaque using "Santa Red" Americana Acrylic Paint (3-4 coats). <br />
You can apply this paint with a foam brush but an actual paint brush (1 to 2 inch width) allows you<br />
to get the sides a little easier. Lastly, I cut my design out on white vinyl and<br />
placed it on the painted plaque after it dried.</div>

Here's a card that I made recently. We had a co-worker come back to work after leaving us for a few months. We designated him the Brett Favre of the pharmacy so I made a card to go with the theme! :)<br />

I decided to make use of all the acorns in my yard this year. <br />
It was a fairly quick project but I some how managed to drag it out over several weeks.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nicoleday08/8137399967/" title="IMG_0201s by Raggedy Creek Creations, on Flickr"><img alt="IMG_0201s" height="300" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8186/8137399967_64872eb711.jpg" width="400" /></a><br />
<br />
I took the acorns and popped the tops off of each one of them.<br />
I then began spraying and turning them with each coat of paint until they were completely covered.<br />
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nicoleday08/8137429596/" title="IMG_0202s by Raggedy Creek Creations, on Flickr"><img alt="IMG_0202s" height="300" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8475/8137429596_ba727f53bc.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div align="center">
<br />
Here's the finished product after several sprays.<br />
<br /></div>

Rust-oleum had a beautiful fall orange color (cinnamon) that I just had to try!<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 18px;">1. Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer’s instructions.<br />2. In a large bowl mix together the flour, salt, baking powder and sugar. Set aside.<br />3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Stir in milk, butter and vanilla. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and beat until blended. Slowly add in the chocolate chips and mix.<br />4. Pour batter into the waffle iron, according to manufacturer’s instructions and cook until golden and crisp. Remove the cooked waffle from the waffle iron and continue with the rest of the batter. Tip: Continue to stir the batter as you go or else your last waffle will have a large amount of chocolate chips in it. Although, several people may prefer it that way! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Combine buttermilk, sugar, butter, corn syrup, and baking soda in a LARGE pot. This syrup will boil all over your stove if you put it in a smaller saucepan. Bring the ingredients to a boil and reduce heat to low (as long as it’s still bubbling, you’re okay). Cook, stirring very frequently, for 8-9 minutes. You’re basically making candy here and candy-making requires constant vigilance.</span></div>

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When it’s done, it should take on this luscious golden-brown color. Remove from heat and add vanilla.There will be foam on top. It tastes just as good, but it’s not super pretty. If you’re into aesthetics, you can skim it off; otherwise, just give it a good stir.</span></div>

Fall is here in Texas! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since we only have 2 or 3 weeks of fall in Texas, it's definitely something to celebrate!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I saw this <a href="http://whipperberry.com/2011/01/tutorial-red-burlap-wreath.html?vm=r" target="_blank">tutorial post</a> from Whipperberry last year and just had to make this wreath in orange. The love for orange I'm sure has something to do with my alma mater (University of Texas). Hook Em! :) </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Word of CAUTION: Be careful where you make this wreath... by the time I was done, there was an orange film of burlap dust ALL OVER my living room! I definitely have a new found respect for those poor ladies at the fabric store that have to cut burlap all day long! </div>

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nicoleday08/8045760062/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="The rainbow that broke my camera by Raggedy Creek Creations, on Flickr"><img alt="The rainbow that broke my camera" height="375" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8319/8045760062_7d6e3b34bd.jpg" width="500" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know that I have not posted much lately. The biggest reason is that my camera broke. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had a beautiful rainbow appear one evening and I just had to take some pictures. When I went to edit my photos, I realized that there was a small blue line down the left side of all my pictures. I tried to buff out the majority of the blue lines from those pictures but I don't want to keep doing that every time I take a picture.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nicoleday08/8005396554/" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="IMG_1468 by Raggedy Creek Creations, on Flickr"><img alt="IMG_1468" height="375" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8441/8005396554_c16df992c5.jpg" width="500" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">I at least got rid of the majority of the blue line in this picture.<br />
Even though it broke my camera, it is still a great reminder of God's Promises</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been relying solely on my iPhone, Instagram, and Pixlromatic app. I've finally ordered a new camera (Cannon Powershot sx260 hs) and I'm hoping it will be here by next week! I thought this might be my opportunity to branch out into the DSLR world. But ultimately the ease of use and smaller size of the point and shoot camera won out. It's just too easy to stick it into a backpack when were hiking or place it into the console on the boat </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So in the meantime while I'm waiting on the camera to come in, here's what we've been up to the last few weeks (fishing, hunting, and a trip to the Pecos River). </div>

I have been working on getting some things together to hang on my hallway wall. <br />
You've seen bits and pieces on my previous posts. I finally have the finished product!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nicoleday08/7926431674/" title="Hanging Hallway Wall Decor"><img alt="IMG_1377" height="240" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8321/7926431674_1fc0ec9256.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I first taped together some packing paper to make a layout for hanging and then<br />
I laid all my items out where I wanted them. <br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nicoleday08/7926494396/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Hanging Hallway Wall Decor"><img alt="IMG_1391" height="400" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8318/7926494396_0bf3c0df65.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I traced around each item and marked where I needed to place a nail.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nicoleday08/7926492876/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Hanging Hallway Wall Decor"><img alt="IMG_1389" height="240" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8435/7926492876_08f1cf353e.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;">
I taped the paper to the wall and place my nails in the spots that were marked.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nicoleday08/7926493644/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Hanging Hallway Wall Decor"><img alt="IMG_1390" height="240" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8298/7926493644_5804f37d8b.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;">
I stopped about halfway through and made sure the layout was still looking good.</div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nicoleday08/7926495136/" title="Hanging Hallway Wall Decor"><img alt="IMG_1392" height="300" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8182/7926495136_c19daf1025.jpg" width="400" /></a><br />
<br />
Several of these items are things that I have repurposed and the rest I picked<br />
up at Hobby Lobby, Michaels, and Home Goods. I made my first trip to Home Goods<br />
last week and I have to say that I will be going back!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made this sympathy card recently. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used the <a href="http://www.silhouetteonlinestore.com/v2/viewShape.aspx?id=6981" target="_blank">scroll tree</a> design for this card. The Silhouette had a hard time cutting some </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of the curves on this tree. I deleted those points on the design and was able to cut it </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
without any problems.</div>

I have been working on decorating my hallway wall over the last month or so. <br />
Here are my finishing touches.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nicoleday08/7926500968/" title="Where we lived frame"><img alt="IMG_1408" height="300" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8444/7926500968_a6c79e1b96.jpg" width="400" /></a><br />
<br />
This a $1 frame I picked up from Michaels a while back. <br />
I painted it grey and added a vinyl design (<a href="http://www.silhouetteonlinestore.com/v2/viewShape.aspx?id=4597" target="_blank">corner flourish</a>) using my Silhouette Cameo. <br />
Like my scroll tree, the silhouette had a hard time cutting some of the<br />
curves on this design. I just sliced them off with an exacto knife and no one will<br />
know the difference. Unless they read my blog..... :)<br />
<br />
I used www.wordle.net to create the places we have lived design.<br />
It is a SUPER easy website to use. You just type in the words you want and<br />
it allows you to play with the text and background colors as well as layout.</div>

<br />
The back broke on this frame a while back, but I couldn't let it go. <br />
This was nothing a little burlap and rosette couldn't fix!<br />

I needed something to frame in my gigantic, not so pretty thermostat.<br />
Pier One had a frame sale this weekend so I couldn't resist buying this one! <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
It was my first time to try out sketch pens for the Silhouette, it was a lot easier than I expected!<br />
I used this <a href="http://www.silhouetteonlinestore.com/v2/viewShape.aspx?id=12282" target="_blank">wedding dress card</a> design for this card.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
We took our dog out on her first boat ride. She's a bit of a scaredy cat when it comes to water. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A lab that doesn't like water...that's our dog! She actually had a really good time. :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
We got rain! I think this will allow our yard to survive the summer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
And more rain! I haven't seen Lake Day in quite a while! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We got a total of 6 inches of rain this week!!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Since it was raining we decided to make dinner with something around the house.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We made Plain Chicken's <a href="http://www.plainchicken.com/2012/08/buffalo-chicken-spaghetti.html" target="_blank">Buffalo Chicken Spaghetti</a>. It was super yummy!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We used some black eyed peas and squash from my parents' garden.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was kind of a weird ensemble but it was yummy and we didn't have to leave the house!</div>

<br />
<u><b>Spicy Black Eyed Peas</b></u><br />
<br />
3 cups fresh black eyed peas<br />
2 tbsp. canola oil<br />
4 garlic cloves, minced<br />
4 strips of bacon (cut into 2 inch pieces)<br />
1 medium onion, finely chopped<br />
1 1/2 tsp salt<br />
1 tsp black pepper<br />
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper<br />
6 cups of water (may substitute 1/2 with chicken stock)<br />
2 bay leaves<br />
<br />
Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Once hot, throw in the garlic for few seconds until it starts to brown. Next add the bacon and onion and stir frequently. Cook for 6-8 minutes until the onions start to get soft and turn brown. Add the salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper and continue to cook until the spices blend into the mixture, ~2 minutes. Pour in the water and/or chicken stock and add the bay leaves. Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat in order to simmer. Add the black eyed peas and cook for approximately one hour.<br />

Here's a get well card that I made a few weeks ago for my grandmother. <br />
She's doing well, no worries. <br />
She fell and broke her wrist, so I wanted to send a little cheer her way!<br />
I think this is my favorite card I've made so far!</div>

(added the hat, the white in the center, and the heart).<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I then traced a chevron, Texas, and longhorn pattern on my Silhouette. See <a href="http://raggedycreate.blogspot.com/2012/07/trace-function-silhouette-tutorial.html" target="_blank">this post</a> for a how-to on tracing. I then cut them out using contact paper. Here is the settings I used to cut out the contact paper. You can click<a href="http://raggedycreate.blogspot.com/2012/06/it-is-well-with-my-soul-art-silhouette.html" target="_blank"> here</a> to see a tutorial on cutting Contact paper with the Silhouette. After cutting, I put the Texas pattern down first in order to get a good seal. I then put the chevron pattern on top.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
I then took the remainder of the Texas cutout and laid it down in place. I had to put a longhorn in the shape. It's just second nature!!</div>

<br />
<br />
I decided to start clearing out my junk closet... (Insert Psycho Music..EEE, EEE!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When we moved from Austin into this house I had a number of items that I didn't know<br />
what to do with. So what did I do with them?? Threw them into a closet and FORGOT about it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's the first item up for repurpose...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nicoleday08/7551330052/" title="Admit One Picture Box by Raggedy Creek Creations, on Flickr"><img alt="Admit One Picture Box" height="320" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7261/7551330052_fe53470a12.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My husband and I bought this item many years ago at a trade days in Wimberely, TX.<br />
Probably when we were honeymooners (ah...young love!).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I loved these boxes then... now the flowers are just falling apart.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nicoleday08/7547983486/" title="IMG_1155 by Raggedy Creek Creations, on Flickr"><img alt="IMG_1155" height="150" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7276/7547983486_4cf98a7dc0.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However, The wood finish is just perfect so I thought I would make a shadow box out of it.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nicoleday08/7547983276/" title="IMG_1157 by Raggedy Creek Creations, on Flickr"><img alt="IMG_1157" height="240" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8147/7547983276_bc18f083c0.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have all these tickets lying around so I thought I would start a ticket box. <br />
There should be quite a few baseball tickets around this house but for some reason I can't find them. <br />
I thought I would go ahead and make a baseball shadowbox and replace all<br />
the non-baseball tickets with baseball tickets later.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nicoleday08/7547984458/" title="IMG_1142 by Raggedy Creek Creations, on Flickr"><img alt="IMG_1142" height="240" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7254/7547984458_9b8da879e7.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The back of the box was a particle board. <br />
I just Mod Podge'd a sheet of scrapbook paper to the board and<br />
also put a coat on top of the paper for durability.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nicoleday08/7551329242/" title="Admit One Picture Box by Raggedy Creek Creations, on Flickr"><img alt="Admit One Picture Box" height="240" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8427/7551329242_c59be2fa76.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made an "Admit One" ticket with my Cameo. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can see the tutorial in creating this ticket <a href="http://raggedycreate.blogspot.com/2012/07/trace-function-silhouette-tutorial.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
You might wonder if we are Red Sox fans? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well yes, but our loyalty is with the Texas Rangers. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just don't generally take my camera to those games since it happens more often. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I guess I'll have to take my camera to the next Rangers game!<br />
