\This week, James, and I ventured down to Southern Utah to visit his great grandparents in their new Casa.

We went on a little shopping spree for a few decorating odds and ends. James probably thinks his second home is the Home Depot. He has spent more time there than in his nursery:) We took a little Applebee's break to get refueled before we braved the feisty crafters at Robert's.
We decided to do a little DIY project for a blank wall in her sewing room. This was the inspiration for our artwork.
We applied scrapbook paper (.60 cents) to craft board ($4 each) with a little Mod Podge.
Cost: about $20.00!
Voila, the finished product.
(P.S. Thanks for teaching me to Mod Podge Aunt Cheryl..you have fulfilled a dream of mine;)
James decked out in a teddy bear ensemble my grandparents gave him.
It was so good to see you Grandma and Grandpa Witzke, we love your new pad! Love you lots!
XOXO,
Jessica and James.

I want to learn how to modge podge. Maybe that would fill some space around here. Love the new header. You are so creative.
Thanks for being such a great documenter of a fun trip. You'll soon see that I completely copied your blog to record it for my life! You have such a gift for taking existing stuff and inexpensive accessories and making things more beautiful. It was fun to watch you in action. I love how the finished areas turned out, and I know you brightened your grandma's life this week.
And you made a very fun traveling companion. Thanks for a great time!
As for Heather, let's get together and craft! I'm pretty inspired by the inexpensive scrapbook paper ideas.
One more comment for both Heather and Jessica. We really need to have that blog training luncheon 'cause the new header on this blog is adorable!
Great post, Jessica. I am glad you went to Grandma's, she was looking forward to your help. Sounds like you were just as awesome and I knew you would be! Love the wall art! You will have to come back and check out the girls' room!
I am so glad you posted. A picture is worth a thousand words. Now we all want one of these collage. Love the James pictures too. Thanks for being the resident family designer.
I LOVE the art work!!! You'll have to help me pick out some paper to do that myself. I tried calling you a couple of weeks ago, I would love to get together. Call me when you get a chance.
Jessica! I love how creative you are and I really want to learn how. We need to get together and you need to show me the ways of decoration. Well, we do need to get together anyways because I miss you! However, I would love to go up to the mountain with you! LETS DO IT
i'm loving that newspaper looking print... i wish i had that when i did one of those for sailor's room!!! i guess i can still add more like that wall... i think yours looks better than the wall you were copying!!! good job!!! thanks for still looking at my blog hehe... i love yours too!!!
ps i'm lovin that backsplash in your kitchen, we have that same area that needs help, but i want to wait until i replace my ugly countertops, fridge, stove, cupboards... so maybe in the next few million years.. my next project is brick around the fireplace to replace ugly marble tiles... so much to do, in the meantime i'm going to keep looking at your blog for ideas!!
I've tried modge podging, but mine never turn out quite that good so maybe you'll have to teach me the tricks you learned! We missed you by a couple of days, but I saw all the wonderful decorating you did down there! Good job! I really need to get my own place so I can have you share your awesome skills with me!
Love the modge podge project. Time for me to dust off my modge podgeing skills...
