Knock off wood

Just a little teaser. I am just starting a project that may involve something similar to this. If you have not checked out this website.... you my friend are in for a treat! Enjoy. ( Just make sure you have sometime,because you are gonna be awhile.)

Cricut

As many of you know, a lot of the crafts I have been featuring, require vinyl. I have been tossing around the idea of getting a machine, but better than buying is winning! So check out Women Who Do It all for a Cricut giveaway. Hooray!

So...what was I doing up way past my bedtime (of 9pm) last night you ask? Well, today was picture day at school and I decided that K needed a new flower clip for her do. But when you go to all the trouble of getting your supplies out, why make one when you could make 30? Now I know that these are not boutique quality but hey, they are SUPER easy to make and cost---are you ready, a WHOPPIN $.35 a piece to make. That sure beats the $4 it would cost you to have someone else make them. (NOTE: I got my flowers from the dollar store)
K was super excited this morning and I have more than I need so now we have some fun gifts.
Next on my list----a much needed bow holder!

Here are some Picture of K's hair-do for today. I got the idea here, from Babes in Hairland. I must say that I love this do and I probably do it so much it is a little over kill, but I don't care.
I know it is hard to see from the pictures, but the bands I used are lime green. They match her cute dress and were perfect for St. Patty's Day! I forgot to take another picture after I put the flower in, but trust me--it was adorable!

On a side note, I went shopping yesterday and will actually have some projects of my own done soon. Of course all of the projects have been inspired by others and I am grateful for those who share their awesome ideas! Thank you.

Chore time

Can these ladies get anymore talented? Talk about CUTE!
This is making my decision to buy a vinyl cutting machine harder. The possibilities are endless!
HOW DOES SHE ?

Felt fun!

Okay, I am so loving these! Check out this website, Ume.
They have a ton of great patterns.
I can't wait to buy a couple of patterns and make them with my girls!
Better than buying though, it the chance to win some! (3 to be exact)
Check out Dang Gina who is doing a give away on these.

Small Projects

Here are a few small projects that I have done lately.
This Scripture Journal is something that we do for FHE. As part of the lesson we write down our thoughts on the lesson as a family in our Journal. It is stored in our "treasure chest" where we keep our Scriptures for family reading time.

Here are some Baking Soda cans that I spiffed up to hold the older kids "tickets" that they earn for doing chores. Tickets can be cashed in for Playstation time, Computer time and movies.

$.75

Here is my first little cutie!
I found it at the DI for $.75!
Looking for a few more to make this project.
