charlie's softball game

on friday nights, charlie plays in a co-ed softball game. he has been playing for all most a year. he joined his sister's boyfriends team. since then, his other sister has joined and at one game they needed players and so charlie's mom, kim, his dad, big charlie, his sister andrea, and his brother randall joined the team for a game. april was already on the team. so that right there is his whole nuclear family. but that is not all, his cousin elizabeth and her husband were visiting from danville, illinois. so she was recruited also. i, luckly, wore flip flops to the game and could not make dress code, so i was eliminated.
but anyways, zella always has so much fun at the games. i take my camera every week and i almost miss the game because i am playing around with her. but i do watch, really, i do.
so we were playing with the new camera when zella busted out her dance moves. she wanted me to take pictures of her dancing. she was so funny, but was having sooo much fun...
ohh, ohh
hands in the air...
twist and turn... is that a snap?
and end with a grand finale, the famous zella rump-shaker...
can you see why i sometimes don't pay attention to the game?
have a great day

finished!

it will be hung in zella's room this weekend! overall, i think it turned out pretty good. her wings are a little fat on the bottom...but i like it. i really like how it can be changed.
so my version cost me:
foam board $2.99
white spray paint .99
galvanized flashing 4 at .98
i already had the frame, pattered paper, buttons, and the magnets.
so my total cost was under $7 dollars, add in some tax and i made it for under $9.00!
pottery barn wanted $179.oo!!

we thought it was over priced also!
have a great weekend

more butterflies

before i added the foam board, i decided that i wanted the option of removing the foam board and changing it out for something on down the line... i can now change anything about this that i want to. i can change the foam board, i can change the pattern paper around the foam board, (the pink with white poka dots), and i can even re-spray paint the frame if i want to. so to do this, i added the galvanized flashing directly on the glass.
then i added some books to help it dry flat. this is what it looked like after

then i put magnets on the back of the foam board. so technically, it is just one big magnet (the foam board).
i will try to finish it up today or tomorrow. but it will pretty much end up like the picture in the last post. i want to add some crystals...
