I've been wanting to try freezer paper stencils for a couple of years now, but haven't been able to get my hands on the paper. Today I found a tutorial on how to make your own freezer paper.

I was so excited I had to stencil a t-shirt for Caleb. He absolutely loves it! I ended up pulling up a Big Wheels commercial on You Tube, and now he wants one!




The paper curled a bit as it got wet with the fabric paint so I'm going to tinker with the method a bit. Overall, I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out though. I can't wait to make a bunch more!

Greyden celebrated his first birthday, on February 14th Valentine's Day!! He's the best gift I'll ever get!



While not the most mellow little guy, he certainly has energy and a terrific sense of humour! He has the best laugh, especially when his older brother is being a clown. Greyden's laugh is so infectious, right from his belly, pearly white teeth flashing and his head thrown back!

Its so much fun watching him walking, I can't believe (ok I can), he took his first steps at 10 months old. I remember at 4 months he would roll off my lap, and just assume his legs would support him. At those moments I knew he wouldn't be content to hold still much longer!

We are so excited to see what the future holds for him. We know he'll face it with energy, drive, and his engaging manner.

I've posted pics of his birthday party in Pontypool at my Flickr account
