Fun that can't come...

I found this site that has some really cute and creative ideas, but she has copyrighted all her stuff and doesn't let you copy and paste pictures. I especially love how she created a TV Hutch out of a book shelf and attaching a door. I also love the rag blanket she posted right after it. So Cute!!! Take a look - http://eoberrys.blogspot.com/

My Fun New Finds

So in my last post I mentioned my new favorite blog "Just a girl" http://j-a-girl.blogspot.com/ I just finished going through her blog and unlike me she actually does the things she finds. I love her stuff and style. Here are a few of my favorites things from her site.

I love the whole table arrangement, but I am specifically loving the wall hangings she made with scrapbook paper and foam. I also love the embellished candles. I think I love her so much for all the scrapbook paper and embellishments she uses. So great!

The Wall
The Candles
These are magnets - very cute! My son's name starts with a "J" I love what she has done here. I might have to copy :).
She made a few of these...love them.

A few of my things...

I am constantly collecting so many great crafty ideas , but I am beginning to realize I collect a whole lot more than I create - and I love to create! :) So I decided to see what things I have completed recently. Here are a few of my things...

This is my most recent project. I blogged not long ago about menu planners and this was what I came up with. The plaque came from Dollar Tree complete with the ribbon I just added the paper and Velcro. I really like this because I am such a visual person and this way I know exactly what meals we will be eating each week. It helps me be more organized. :)

I made this pillow for my Mom for Christmas.


I made these bags for my kids to take to church. I put some church coloring pages and other items to keep them occupied during church.



Here are the Crayon rolls that I made to go in their church bags with their coloring pages.

Felt Board Tutorial

I like the idea of making a felt board, but never considered just cutting out shapes to give your kids the chance to create their own pictures and be a little creative. What a great idea! Here is the site with the tutorial: http://jchandmade.typepad.com/photos/felt_board_tutorial/fb_tutorial.html

Family Frame


A friend of mine posted these family frames she bought for her house. I love it - and am going to have to create it for my own. I love them Laura!
