So it's been a while since I've done some good craftin' so I got in the spirit this past weekend and wanted to share some of my little successes (at least I'm a little proud of myself), ya'll just let me know what ya think, I'm open....to only good comments of course! ;) lol Well so I used to do a menu to keep me in check and organized for dinners and of course I got out of the swing of that and sometimes I'm like "oh joy, what to make for dinner yet again tonight!!!" yes, there was some sarcasm in that if you're wonderin. So of course pinterest had lots of cute ideas for menus and I just let my mind go and this is what I came up with!! I bought a frame and decorated it to my liking, added the days of the week and added magnetic strips to keep it easy to change out new meals. I added some laminate over the meals tabs because if they are in my kitchen they will get messy so why not prevent myself from re-doing all these little tabs?! So here is the finished product!!!
So then I knew I needed some way to store these little guys and decided to do some cute glass jars and decorate them, mind started goin again as usual and whhhaaaalaaa I was so happy with the outcome!!! I did a "new" jar for the meals I haven't used yet in my rotation to keep things fresh and new for dinners and I used an "old" jar for all my meals already used! I kinda like it! :) And here's the before, plain jar only $2.50 and so with a little paint and some love....
And so that was my finished menu project!!! I had so much fun making it! Although I wish I had some friends or my best-friend (my sister) to share and do these fun projects with, it's not the same doing all this crafty stuff without all my family and friends to share it with :( but I at least get to share it through here with ya'll and I hope you like how it turned out!!!
Ok so the next project I did was so necessary because of my little monkey's or should I just call them like they are?!! Tasmanian Devils! Ahhhh!!! They are messy little things aren't they, all kids right?! I mean I give it up to ya if your kids are super neat and organized, but even with all the lessons on organization it still seems like a broken record kinda thing huh??! At least here it does! lol Well so I love climbing stairs and all the exercise but enough was enough, I started making little piles on the bottom of the stairs of all their toys and clothes, shoes and such (I keep a few pairs of shoes downstairs for um, but their whole collection is a bit much right??! LOL) well so I remembered seeing something on pinterest about baskets at the bottom of the stairs with the first letter of their names on each one, so I gave it a go because I found super cheap baskets, I think at Tuesday Morning and so I got the rest of the material, painted their letters (actually my boys painted them, I was happy to let um help!) and here it is!
Ok so if you haven't Noticed I really really Like Aqua and that is my statement color in my home, with my black and whites and tans!!! I love me some beautiful Aqua!!!! LOL it is just a fun and calming color! So what do ya think!? Do you guys like my little projects! I think I'm gonna keep going, I have so many more ideas!!
