A photo clock.

I love this one! Such a beautiful picture. This couple is expecting their first child soon! Congrats to Tabitha and Jeff! :)

Anniversary book & clock

I did this one for a girl at work. She was giving it to her husband as an Anniversary gift. I did a matching clock also.






Here's the matching clock. It's very hard to see in the pictures, but there are tiny jewels on the hands.

A card!


Yep, cards too! Mom to be card to be exact..

More Shadow boxes...

I did this shadow box a little different. I added a picture frame so Willie's mom could put a picture in it. It's easily accessible so she can change it as Willie grows. Loved doing the jungle theme on these two..



I have no idea why I didn't get better pics of the detailing on this one. I'll learn eventually.

Furniture refinishing...

This was a set of end tables that my Grandma had while I was growing up. I took pity on them and gave them a new life. This is just one of the many furniture "redo's" I have done. I love wood furniture, and hate to see it abused. I love old pieces that you just can't find anymore. I love the craftsmanship of it, and enjoy bringing these pieces back to life.

Disney book.

Here it is! This is one of my most favorite projects I have ever done so far. I am a huge Disney fan, and I got so involved in this project I asked the girl who ordered it if I could get an extension to "fuss" with it some more. I worked on this for about 45 hours total. The last name of the bride and groom is done in the "Walt-O-graph" font that is similar to the one used in the Disney logo. I delivered this book yesterday (7/29) and was a bit sad. However, the girl who is giving it as a gift this weekend seemed very happy with it. Lots of pics to follow. Some of the pics didn't turn out as "colorful" as they should have...as I keep saying, my photograpy skills do not match my skills with paper and glue. ;)
