Activity Days DIY Be Grateful Block

This time for our activity we talked about being Grateful, and Giving Thanks.

They painted the blocks black and they could choose the paper and the

words, then pinned them on with Upholstery tacks.

This was the easiest little craft

ad they liked it.

I asked them what they are most grateful for and they all said

Friends, Family, Air,

Food, and Water.

Orange you glad? A small gift…

It’s all about Orange lately.

Whitney recently went back to school and she gave this to her teacher.

I also decided to put together a couple gifts too, so I have spent the last month

or so finding small Orange items to put together in a Birthday gift.

I found Orange lotion, nail polish, Burt's Bees, Journal, Gum, Tic Tacs, Candy.

Then wrapped it all up to give away.

the Tag said “ORANGE YOU GLAD ITS YOUR BIRTHDAY?”

DIY THANKFUL banner

I needed one of these too,

so I made it last week.

I cut out the black banner with my cricut and also the white stared circles.

The glitter letters I had on hand.

I just threaded brown ribbon thru the holes..

It was super easy and took little time.

I love thanksgiving,

I love watching the gratitude jar fill up.

I think there is a reason Thanksgiving is before Christmas.

Being fully aware of your blessing

and all you have,

and showing Gratitude

Defiantly gets you in the season

of giving.

DIY Burlap Fall Wreath

 

Burlap is everywhere it seems like

and I thought a fall wreath would look good.

Better late than never. Right?

I know is the 12th of November and its kind of

getting late in the month. But I wanted to get

this made so badly. Orange burlap and

chevron ribbon and other ribbon all come from

Hobby Lobby.

I like it and glad its up.

Halloween Night 2013

We had a great time Trick or Treating!

Around our house we had a Baby, A Pirate, A Red Morph,

A Scary guy, A zebra, and a Witch!

Whitney was off track this year, so no school parade.

It was different not having to rush in the morning and not helping

in a classroom.

Not going to lie It was kind of nice!

Halloween is so much easier with kids that our older.

DIY Décor Yellow and Grey

Recently I got my master bathroom painted by my talented, and wonderful husband.

All walls are painted Grey and I accented with Yellow and Aqua.

Also Black and white.

Since it’s a His and Hers Bathroom. I really wanted it a good mix of genders.

NOT anything to Feminine or fancy just a Clean, Classic feel and look.

I also really wanted a feel of natural elements.

So when started decorating I went it to it thinking.

Wood, Glass, Metal, Nature things like that.
