SUMMER FUN!

Summer is here and many moms find themselves scrambling to find things to do with their kids, places to go and the kicker, trying to find all that without going broke. Trying to entertain kids all summer can be challenging for some moms. I get it, I've been there, and well, I am still there. 😂

My girls and I always enjoy going into Dallas to visit the Art Museum. When we are done we usually go grab some lunch from the food trucks that are lined up by Klyde Warren Park, right outside the art museum. It's relaxing and the food is so yummy!

Happy Summer!

Life handing out lemons .... (Made from cardboard boxes)

Hi there! This sign is fun and so cute. I did this using cardboard boxes from deliveries. I'm not sure why, but I sure do love using cardboard boxes. Maybe it's because I love the way the sides look and I love how light it is. Best of all, I love how easy it is to work with. I love it all! Well, here it is . . .

Until next time -Maddie #iplaywithfire #lasermade #glowforge #cardboardboxes #lifehandingoutlemons #applebarrel

To get these colors, I mixed paints I had on hand. I'm trying to use up some of my older paints so this just works for me right now. 😅 Many co

Halloween Ghost - Tic Tac Toe Game

What a fun classic game - Never gets old. This cute ghost game set can travel with you, or help time pass if you are waiting for an appointment with your special ones. Because come on, who doesn't love to play tic tac toe and silently compete? 😂 Using my Glowforge laser, this cute ghost was cut and engraved on baltic birch wood. Acrylic was used for the games pieces (ghosts/pumpkins). The ghost is approximately 5.12 w x 6.5 h. If you are interested in one, you can find it by clicking on this link: https://square.link/u/c8P7PpVi -or- by clicking on the SHOP tab listed above. Until next time, Maddie
