Personalize Your Party!

Just thought I might remind you all that you can use any photo to create a "Photo Vinyl" print to make your party a little more personal. Here's a photo print that I did for my son's graduation party, but you can do them for special anniversaries, birthdays, retirements, baby showers, weddings, and so forth. Plus, all photo vinyl is removable and reusable! And.....right now, it is BUY ONE, GET ONE FREE on all Uppercase Living expressions! So, you can buy any one expression and get another of equal or lesser value for FREE! How's that for some summertime fun?!

Let me know if you want to place an order. You may also go directly to my website: http://gena.uppercaseliving.net to order.

May Project Night

Just thought I'd share some pictures my daughter took at my last project night. Be on the lookout for an late summer Project night to coincide with the release of the new catalog! Fun times!

Checking to see if the Mystick is dry so A. can take off the top layer.

J. works carefully to finish her project. Way to go, J; you're doing it all on your own!

There is a free project for each person who signs up for a project night.

Here C. works on her photo board.

A.'s project is "in process." She was just making sure her expression

looked level before she applied it.

See, you really should join me at the next project night. Let me know if you need to be added to my email list so that you get notification.

Wishing you all a good week!

Next Project Night Announced!

Hello, my Uppercase Living Friends!

It's that time of year when there is a special event around every corner, so I thought I'd present some projects that might help out with your gift giving needs this Spring.

My next project night will be held on Friday, May 7, 2010 at my home in two sessions (6:00 to 7:00 PM OR 7:00 - 8:00 PM). I have many fun projects to choose from this time, so please take the time to read/look through this entire post. You must sign up and have your order paid for by Sunday, April 11, 2010 in order for your project to be ready on time. No orders will be placed without payment. If, for some reason, you are unable to attend the Project night, I will deliver your project to you. It's going to be a great time, and as always,

there will be a free project for you to do while you are here! Don't miss out!

Remember: for all projects, you get to choose your colors. If you like the colors shown, great!

Children's Room Expression

I had a fun time putting up a new expression in the children's room at our church. The room's theme is extreme sports, and the children's director thought this verse would be great on the wall. Just thought you might want to see it.

First, we had to tape up the expressions to get them where we thought we wanted them. Because the expression was so long, we had to create it in pieces and them put them all together.

Then, piece by piece we leveled and applied the expressions.

And, then......wah-lah! It's all up!

You'll have to check back in to see the skateboard silhouettes that will be placed above the half-pipes in the room. They'll look great.

Thanks for stopping by the ol' blog!

November Project Day Pictures

Okay, I never got around to posting pictures of the last project day! All I can say is that life gets busy sometimes and certain things just get pushed to the back burner even though we don't want them to. So, without further ado, here's what you missed. And.....if you think this all looks fun, my next project day will be announced here shortly, so be on the lookout for that!

Coasters are always fun to make!

Below is one of the projects for the day. Twelve of these personalized tiles were made, most of them as gifts.

These ornaments were one of the free projects offered. There is a free project for each participant at my project days. You never know what you might get to go home with!

Another project from the November Project Day. This is great for all the spelling tests and art projects your kids bring home from school.

Here's the free project table. Quite a bit of visiting and laughter took place around this table.

One customer made a set of glass coasters with snowflakes. Perfect for winter and a great gift idea!

Debbie contemplating putting the second part on her "Family" board.

I've got two great helpers who always show up to lend their expertise. Maghan and Mindy (in green) rock! Mindy is due any time with her precious first baby! Can't wait to meet that sweet thing!

Here's Maghan helping Debbie with the second part of her expression.

I think my friend, Janet, would be just as happy if I just did her projects for her! ;)

See all the fun you missed! Plan now to join me for my next project day which will take place in April; we'll have all kinds of fun!
