In This House, We Do Geek

In our house we are a bunch of nerds.  And very proud of it.  We think we are cool as hell.  But still, nerds.  We are smart.  We love to learn.  We love science.  And sci-fi.  And fantasy.  Dragons, we really love dragons.  Legos to Legolas, Star Wars to Star Trek, Dungeons and Dragons to Disney castles.  We love to dress up and imagine and create. I made this to go on our family room wall.  I used distress paints on canvas and then vinyl for the lettering.  Weeding the words was a bitch.  But it was worth it.

 "In this house, we believe in magic.
We have epic adventures
and unexpected journeys.
Once upon a time
and in galaxies far, far away.
We do wibbley, wobbley timey, whimey stuff while
going where no one has gone before.
We assemble and defend.
We know the answer to everything is 42
and that the odds are ever in our favor.
We never say die.
We do cosplay and fun.
We aim to misbehave
and we don't care what others think.
Because in this house,
we do GEEK!"

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Today is my Dad's birthday.  I just found out that he is a Breaking Bad fan.  I also just found out he has Acute Myeloid Leukemia.  When he called to tell my brother about it, he told him he needed to get a Winnebago so he could start cooking.  Dad has a dark sense of humor.  When our chihuahua named Taco was hit by a truck when we were little, Dad broke the news to us by saying, "Kids, sorry, but we are gonna have to change your dog's name to Tortilla."

Anyway.  I knew he was gonna need a Breaking Bad card.  Since I am not in a very creative mood at the moment, I have to say I copied a card from Snappy Scraps.   The files is called Science Guy from SVG Cutting Files.

We subscribe to Loot Crate and had gotten the coolest Breaking Bad aprons recently, so I thought that would be perfect too.  My brother recommended that we put some blue rock candy in the bag with it, so we did that too.  Dad loved it!

 

 

We Have A Mailbox!!

After a few weeks of fighting with Firefox, I finally thought maybe I would try Chrome to post on here.  Firefox stopped letting me add pictures to the posts.  That makes for a very unhappy me.

Anyway.

We got a mailbox for the new house, which gave me a chance to play with some vinyl.  I made up the numbers and then wanted to add something to the flag.  It is silver and was looking way too plain for our family.  I was looking through my scrap pieces of vinyl to use to make a skull and crossbones, when I instead found a leftover bat signal.  It was a perfect fit!

Thanks for looking!

Father's Day

I have a few Father's Day cards to share so  I will do them one a day.  The first one is a for Jason, my fiance.  He is an amazing Dad to my kids.  He may not have been there from the start, but he is the one that is here and that has been the best influence on them.  Don't know what we would do without him.  We all love him so much!  Since we are all geeks in our family...I had to go with Yoda.

I used a Yoda svg from a SVGCuttingFiles past blog hop.  I love this company!  Not only do they have amazing files in their store, but awesome blog hops too.  I did print and cut and layering to make Yoda and added glossy accents on his nose.
