Two crafts in one day :O

So today I got a little ambitious and decided that I could complete two craft project in one day. I made one for Sarah and one for Ashley. The one I made for Sarah took a lot longer though.


Name:


Step 1:
I took wooden letters that spell out the name SARAH and painted them "Sarah Blue." I then decorated them with a silver sharpie



Step 2:
After I did that to all of the letters I found ribbon that matched the letters and I tied them to a wooden dowel. I then hot glued the other end of the ribbon to the back of the wooden letters. After all that I tied a longer piece of ribbon to the wooden dowel so she could hang it up in her room.

The finished product looks like this:



The next craft I did was a little different

A:

Step 1:
I again went and got a wooden letter. This time is was much larger and it was just an A. 

Step 2:
I had printed out sum pictures of me and my best friend Ashley that I was going to include in a scrapbook that I am making her but the pictures were to small so I cut them out and glued them onto the wooden letter A. There was just enough space also to write Big, Little, and SP 2012. (it is kinda hard to see in the picture):


Step 3: 
After all was said and done, I thought I was finished. Then I was thinking and remember a fight that me and my best friend Ashley had a couple days ago. I remembered a quote I used on my Facebook just to show her that I was thinking about her and that I cared. It goes like this: 

"Sometimes in life, you find a special friend. Someone who changes your life just by being a part of it. Someone who makes you laugh until you can’t stop. Someone who makes you believe that there really is good in the world. Someone who convinces you that there really is an unlocked door just waiting for you to open it. This is forever friendship. When you’re down and the world seems dark and empty, your forever friend lifts you up in spirit and makes that dark and empty world suddenly seem bright and full. Your forever friend gets you through the hard times, the sad times and the confused times. And if you find such a friend, you feel happy and complete because you need not worry. You have a forever friend, and forever has no end.” 

So I then wrote this on the back of the wooden letter A. I think it describes out personalities perfect.


I think that both Ashley and Sarah will love the package that I am sending them. Everything you have seen so far is going to them. I think that it is so cool to show someone just how much you appreciate and cherish there friendship. I mean I did not buy them something expensive. I went and made something from the heart that truly showcases how much they both mean to me. I can honestly say that I do not know where I would be today without these two lovely ladies in my life.
