Paper Wreath

I was at Roberts Crafts the other day and saw some Spring Decor that gave me an idea for this!

This was SOOO easy and most of you probably have everything you need to make it already at home.

Bam! This is all you need.. and a glue gun.

1. I cut out the center of a paper plate (optional Spray paint it just in case you have any gaps)
2. Pick out some pretty colored scrapbook paper, I would recommend 3-4 for variety
3. Use a cup and trace perfect circles, then cut them out
4. Hot glue the paper to the plate (right face up like your going to eat off it)
5. Add a ribbon to hang it with or not, and your done!

I made both of these in about 15 mins from start to finish. What a fun way to make a wreath for every Holiday to switch out. I needed something to hang under this picture in my hall, and this turned out great.

getting crafty

Here is my new hobby lately, I've been hand painting all of these decoration blocks! It is so easy and so much fun! I started making them for my house and I got carried away with idea's.. so now I am selling a few at a consignment shop in Springville. I still have lots of paints and blocks left so if anyone wants me to make them any let me know! The pictures don't show all the detail, but I think they look pretty dang good in person. I think I'm going to make me some for every holiday and season to put up on my shelves.

The table that Darren built

So this is our old, cheap, ugly, fake wood table before...

And this is the new top after! Darren made this new top out of alder and walnut, then just put it on top of the old frame. It is so beautiful and it adds so much to our kitchen.

I'm so lucky to have such a talented husband! I love it babe!

A deal at Jo-Ann's

So I have been looking for a wreath for my front door for what feels like months and I FINALLY found something I like. I wanted something that would go with every season.. cause lets face it who has time or money to keep switching them out? Well Jo-Ann's mailed me a coupon for 40% an item so I made this.

18in Grapevine wreath         3.99
        40% off                      -1.60
(2) White Pepper 1.19ea      2.38
TOTAL                             $4.77


Take that $40 Wreath from Rod works that I almost bought! By the way I buy those little pepper things all the time and cut them with wire cutters and put them in stuff. A great cheap way to add detail to things.

More home remodeling

I updated our kitchen a little bit added some vinyl lettering, a new table cloth (from Glory thanks!), a black runner (that I made) and a cool new bowl (also from Glory..) and some cool things I found at the Dollar store. You can't beat that!

We also got new couches (again curtisy of Glory) and a new ceiling fan. Darren's brother Kyle is an electrician so he came over one night and helped Darren put it up.

So shout out to Glory, thanks for remodeling my house.
