DIY Chalkboard (Dinner Menu)

So like 8 month ago, I updated my computer to Windows 10 and I haven't been able to Post anything to my blog. I got a lot of catching up to do. things are mostly crazy around here. But so wonderful at the same time. Scott fixed it tonight after month of me complaining. thank you so much

I have wanted to make a menu board or something similar for like 7 years, and finally only 2 weeks ago I got my Chalkboard paint out and just did it. I chose a cupboard, cause its easily hidden, good use of space, easy to reach and cute. It was super easy takes about 2 coats and like 2 hours. I cut out white vinyl for the days of the weeks and title using my cricut. 

DIY family photo wall

Before…

We got our family pictures done more than 10 months ago, and I finally got around to putting them on the wall!

Going into this I knew I wanted at least one canvas photo and some frames, but a lot of different sizes and shapes and a few colors!

I ordered a large canvas piece for the center, and printed the rest of my photos at Costco. I mounted them on thick black board myself.

I really like the way it turned out and will defiantly be loved and cherished for years to come.

After…

Refurbishing an old chair…

Scott defiantly did more work on this chair than me!

He couldn’t believe I bought this chair to redo, and he know that I would need his help too. So for a few month is sat in the garage, then I bought the fabric, then sanded it all, then is sat there for another month. Then Scott painted it, and I steal wooled the whole chair, then Scott clear coated it. He also put the cushion on for me!

Then ta, da it was DONE!!!

Thank you, Honey

DIY wooden tags

In early December I made these cute Christmas wooden tags.

I bought them from Wood Creations. Then Painted, cut my vinyl lettering with my cricut and added washi tape.

DIY Glittery Hair Bow Clips

I wanted to make a bow for Payton to wear during the Christmas program at Church. So I ended up at Hobby Lobby and found this fake vinyl leather in different glittery color sheets. I only bought 3 sheets and it made 9 bows. I ended giving the rest away to some of my friends. They are so cute all you need is to cut them out, put together, hot glue and clips!

The morning of her program she put her dress on and I of course thought her dress needed a little black on it, since her bow had black on it. So I called my sister and she told me how I could sew black ribbon to her dress. It ended looking great!

DIY chalkboard (days until)

A few weeks before Christmas I made 10 of these Chalkboards! Of course Scott cut them out for me and sanded them and I painted them with chalkboard paint, it did take quite of few coats! Then added the white vinyl lettering. But I think they turned out wonderful, and I’m already using mine..

Pre-teen bathroom Makeover

We worked and tried to get Whitney’s bathroom done before she got home from Girl’s camp, but no such luck.

But we did get it done the week of her birthday! 

Before Pic—plain walls never been painted yet

After Pic----Turquoise and grey!!

Decorations---- shelves from Ikea, we drilled holes in the black one to hold curling irons and a blow dryer,  a big mirror, the girls made crayon art on canvas, black chandelier, glass jar and rug all from Ikea too, I made the wooden block, black pennant banner,

What a fun project and it turned out so cute!

She loved it and was so excited.

I couldn’t do any of these projects with out Scott. He only complains a little bit and then doesn’t it anyways. We are so lucky he has so many talents and blessed to have him!

I actually can’t believe all of this stuff fits in one room.

I love my www.theoriginalScrapbox.com

I got it about 9 years ago and it is wonderful. It holds so much stuff.

I also love my big black desk is expedit from IKEA. (and so is the polka dot rug, and punch holders)
