I am a stay-at-home mom. I have been married to my handsome and wonderful husband for over 14 years. Right now he's battling stomach/esophagus cancer. So I do my best to craft when I can. I have two wonderful boys. My oldest, Garett, is 24 and served 5 years in the Navy. He's been home since the beginning of the year (2014). We are very proud of him. My youngest, "DJ", is 13 and in the 8th grade. I have two Border Collie mix dogs (Koda and Rugu), one Calico cat (Hydie), one orange Tabby cat (Bosley), one Tea Cup Chihuahua (Gigi...I LOVE her sooo much), a Chiweinnie (Lily....sweetest dog ever), and a Jack Russell/Chihuahua (Connor....AAALL boy).

Growing In Unity Day 1

Welcome to my week of Growing In Unity.  My theme for you guys will be all things owls.  I just absolutely LOVE owls.  They are fascinating birds of prey.  Did you know that owls are the ONLY bird with soundless flight?  Yep.  Their feathers are completely silent during flight.

Anyway...for this project (which I completed in late summer), I simply took a nice flat river rock...stamped it with Staz-On ink...and painted it with Acrylic paints.  The background sky and grass is painted with glitter paints.  After the paints were dry, I sealed the rock with a sealer and placed it along the edge of the stepping stones.  I'm going to add more like this to create colorful rocks along the path.



I hope you enjoyed my project.  Don't forget to leave a comment to win!!!  And come back tomorrow to check out my next project.

    ok, love owls! I watched a documentary about how they make no sound when they fly and they won't even disturb feathers below them when they fly...so graceful! I love your lil rock, what a cute decor idea!
