Ride ‘em!

My sweet daughter LOVES horses. She has been fortunate enough to become involved with SPURS (Super People Using Riding Skills) at our local Girl Scout Camp. She goes up on weekends and helps younger girls learn to ride.

When I was her age, I was very involved at the GS sailing camp. I have tried to get Lauren to taste life on the water, but no such luck.

Anyhoo… about once a month, the two of us head to camp. She as a SPURS and me as Dorm Mom. It has been a lot of hard work for both of us, but also a lot of fun! It has also been great for our relationship.

For Christmas, she received a new riding helmet. I picked out an all white one so I could personalize it for Lauren with my Silhouette.

Lauren sat down with me and we designed it together. The zebra print worked well with the curves of the helmet, since I could cut away the wrinkles and it looked like part of the design.

I  dare  say Lauren  has  the  coolest  helmet  in the barn!

Have a great weekend!

Since the kids were little, I have been decorating their bathroom for Christmas. I switch out the shower curtain, towels, and décor. This year, when I took down Christmas, it dawned on me to decorate for Valentines day… Duh!

Here is a picture of the “Christmas” bathroom…

I have a white waffle weave shower curtain with a variety of red and white ribbons in place of curtain rings. I then hang the red snowflake drops. The Santas belonged to my grandmother and aunt before they passed. Add some Christmas scented had soap, a red towel and  bath mat, a few candles and voila, some Christmas fun in the bathroom!

Now here is the Valentine Bathroom…

I made a “Love” bunting out of drop cloth left overs and more of the red and white ribbon. I cut the letters out of outdoor vinyl with my trusty Silhouette. Ironed the back of the bunting and in no time at all, I had the “Love” bunting! (Maybe I should have ironed the curtain too!)

I left the red towel & bath mat. Brought in the heart wreath I made last year,  cast iron mold of hearts, and other various heart décor.

Finally I pulled out a small canvas, traced a heart and preceded to hot glue red, purple, pink and white buttons on the canvas. Lovely, don’t you think? And wouldn’t you know, I didn’t spend a dime! Everything I used to decorate with, and the crafts I made were all from things on hand! Lovely and thrifty!

Make it a great day, or not. The choice is Yours!
