.....meanwhile in Gotham City...

When I last left you nearly a month ago (wow! that went FAST!), I was trying desperately to pull Ty's Birthday party together.  I vaguely remembering promising to post pics and tutorials after the party.

Unfortunately, my birthday boy came down with the croup AND the stomach flu.  He was complaining of not feeling well on the way to the party, and it progressed rapidly after.

Then I followed with a dose of the stomach virus myself. (That was crazy because I haven't had anything other than allergy related stuff in YEARS!!)

That virus really kicked my butt. I even had to miss my BFF's 30th B-day party.  Bummer :(     

Before I was really back to myself and on my feet, I had THREE birthday gifts to make AND a project to do for our Spring Auction at church. (Which I just finished up today during my lunch! The auction is TONIGHT at 6:00!  Talk about cutting it close! lol)

Anyway, now that I appear to be caught up, it's time to start posting all of these projects.

The one I did for the auction tonight is all over the Internet AND Pinterest.  The one I used as my inspiration was from barnowlprimitives.com

Here is my version.


This is actually my first attempt at making anything other than a vinyl sign using vinyl lettering, so please go easy on me.  I know it's not perfect and I learned ALOT.   The biggest thing I learned is that I needed more time; but I didn't have any, so it is what it is.

I enjoyed the process and will probably be making more signs in the days to come.  Of course since I was so strapped for time, I did not take any "in process" pics.

Well, wish me luck (actually my sign luck)!  The spring auction is to raise money for some of our members to go to Ecuador this summer to help provide medical and dental services to some of the underprivileged there.  And most importantly to tell them about Jesus. =))
