Brag Board

I made this yesterday and I L.O.V.E. how it turned out!  It's a place to display all the wonderful projects my little guys make for me - instead of plastering them all over the fridge.  It was super simple to make which is even better.  All I did was take a 20 x 8 piece of pine (which I cut myself since Aaron is out of town) and then I painted the edges and back a off white color.  I then cut some cute scrapbook paper and distressed the edges with brown ink and mod-podged it on.  While that was drying I mod podged a coordinating paper onto 5 clothespins and cut out some 3 in. vinyl lettering (first time using the cricut for vinyl - LOVE IT!!).  When the board was dry, I glued the clothespins on with the glue gun and then added the letters.  I still have to figure out how I'm going to hang it.  I'm thinking I will just put some picture hangers on the  back and be done with it.  I might screw some holes and wire it up, but I'm not sure yet.  Anyway, it was super easy and took less then an hour from start to finish.

More projects on my to do list

Love these ruffled dishtowels

These silhouettes are so cute!

I'm going to make some of these fabric wall hangings for our new house!

I'm definitely doing this little project display board.

How cute and creative is this game

Bumper Pad

A friend of mine that I went to high school with recently asked me if I could sew a bumper pad for her soon to come baby boy!  She brought me the fabric and all the trim and I sewed it up for her.  It turned out way cute and she was really happy with it.  It was also an easy to do project and instead of charging her we struck a trade.  She's a great hair stylist, you see, and I was in desperate need of a trim.

Bless Our Home

I made this a while ago for a Relief Society Craft Night.  I love how it turned out - I did mine different from the sample that they had displayed that night.  I had to put my own little spin on it.

Peppermint Bark Popcorn

I made this yummy treat - so delicious and so so easy.  Then I took formula cans and washed them out, covered them in cute christmas scrapbook paper, made a label to put on the top, attached a card - and DONE!  They turned out really cute.  We went and delivered them last night with the boys - who thought it was a lot of fun.  I love when things turn out the way I picture them in my head.  I just hope all the people we took them to enjoy the popcorn as much as we do.

All packaged up and ready to go.

HO HO HO Banner

I made this the first year Aaron and I were married.  I copied it off of one that my mom had purchased.  It's just cut out of a 2 x 4 and strung together with wire and then there is fabric tied on the wires in between.  It turned out pretty cute.

Merry Christmas Blocks

These are the blocks I made this year for a relief society craft.  I was asked to come up with something cheap and christmas-y.  My SIL Leslie gave me this idea and everyone who did them LOVED them.
