My Fave. Project!

This is by far my most fave. project and I LOVE IT!  My Dad made these drawers for me about 15yrs ago...He's got some crazy carpentry skills. I really needed a night stand for Pipers room but I wanted to Fancy it up a bit.  Let me know what you think....Thanks to some Amy Butler paper and and a bit of paint this is what we got.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!

When Life Gives You Snow Make SNOWMEN!

These are out of the Family Fun magazine I made them for Reese to take for her pre school class. They took a bit of time but were cute and really yummy!

I used :  Pretzel Rods

             White Chocolate

             Mini Chocolatechips

             Gum Drops

             Air Heads Belts

             Peach Rings

You can't make the Book or Mormon better but look how cute it can be.

So this project started when I needed a Baptism gift for my neice Kaitlin. I had remembered seeing it on a super cute blog http://diaryofacraftaholic.blogspot.com/ And once I got started all the kids wanted one. It was a fun project and I loved making them.  These are the suplies I started with. You use double sided tape to attach the paper to the book so you can change it out if you want later.

Sorry about the fuzzy picture. I thought adding their names would be a fun touch... They love it!I found the alphabet rub-ons at the dollar store and fell in love.

Magnet Boards.

I got these frames and metal from my Mother in-law a couple of years ago but I didn't get a chance to finish them.  I had planned on painting the metal with chalkboard paint but I am not so sure they would stay nice looking in my kids room. Instead I found some really cute scrapbook paper and covered them in that using spray adhesive(my new best friend). I am really excited with how they turned out.

                                   

                 Here are the finished magnet boards. Now I just need to put together some fun magnets.

It's Been A While!

I know it's been a while since my last post and I hope I have not bored you....Of course I have. I have a lot to show you and I am thinking I might spread it out rather than dropping it on the blog in one fell swoop. I am getting the twins on a good sleeping schedule and rooms are getting put together a bit at a time. I am loving life right now especially when Dano doesn't have to work the weekend....
And have I mentioned I am running again. That can be a love/hate relationship but I am loving it right now. It is what I need. I figured if I sign up for a race then I have to train for it or look like a fool. Ok ok I might still look like a fool but at least I am not sitting on my BUTT right. So I signed up for the Moonlight Run 2010 March 20, 2010 . I think everyone should sign up, the last time I ran it was 3 years ago and I never realized how fun a race can be. I hope to see you there.
