I love you because...

This was such a cute idea that Sara fell in love with. I made the image in photoshop, printed it then put the image in a frame and every morning I write something new (with a dry erase marker) on the glass of the frame before I wake her up. It's been a good motivator to get her up in the mornings.

My Sweethearts and Why I'm lucky

Here is a fun little wood craft I made for Valentine's Day. It is made from a 2x4. I Cut 4 squares 3 1/2 inches long and one length 7 inches long. Then I modge podged scrapbook paper on the fronts and tops. To get the lettering, I used Microsoft word and I just ran some scrapbook paper thru the printer.

I'm a big fan of duel holiday crafts, so I did a St. Patrick's Day theme on the backside.

Advent Calendars

Advent Calendars made from mini muffin tins. You hide a little surprise in each muffin space, then cover the hole with Scrapbook paper lined with magnet paper (kind of like those magnetic business cards people are always leaving on your door). These are so fun, right now we are using the Halloween one and the birthday one (Serenity's b-day is on October 24th) and the kids love checking for a little hidden surprise every day.

Halloween - I used 3, 12 mini muffin pans

Christmas - I used a 24 mini muffin tin.

Birthday - I used 3, 12 mini muffin pans

Autumn Sign

I cut the wood to do this project over a year ago. I finally pulled it out and finished it just in time for the 1st day of fall.

Happy Autumn Everyone!

4th of July Flag

I made this wood flag out of 2x4s. So easy and super cute (I still need to add the ribbon though, it ties around the whole thing with a bow on top)

Easter Craft

I've had this Easter craft on my to-do list for a while. I finally got around to it earlier this week. I started by cutting blocks out of scrap wood, different heights and widths. I printed the egg letters on scrapbook paper, then modge podged them on the wood blocks and later glued on some ribbon. For the egg I used scrapbook paper, ribbon and some chipboard letters.
