Do you want to build a snowman?

Once again I have to paint, craft, and repurpose whatever piece of wood I find worthy!

Plus with the recent light dusting of snow I felt inspired to make my own snowman! 

Keeping Track of Memories

 Yes I realize this can all be done with technology. But I love sitting, writing, and reading events from years past. Plus the boys seem to enjoy them as well!! 

My grandma used to keep all of this information on The family calendar. When she passed away I found a stack of those calendars. Perhaps that is why I enjoy writing things down as well.

Many blessings!!

Late night crafting- Yes with reclaimed wood!

Turning Two with Tow Mater

This precious boy turned two, and here are some pictures of the way we celebrated. Hope they inspire you and your Mater birthday too!! 

Clearance fabric I later turned into a blanket. 

Aren't these amazing? My sweet parents created these and they were a hit!!!

Traffic lights snacks. 

Believe it or not this passed for Mater! 

Many blessings!!

$3 Upscale Lamp

$3 Garage Sale Lamp + Extra Fabric = Fabulous Classroom Lamp

First I tore off the ruffle which left the plastic shade. 

Then I cut up squares of the extra coordinating fabric I have an arsenal of. I used fabric/craft glue to secure the fabric. 

I used multiple coats of modge podge, allowing time to dry between coats. 

To finish it of I used burlap with gold ribbon (once again from my personal supply). Now I am tempted to spray paint the lampstand, but at this point in time I'm happy with the finished product. 

Hope this inspires you to 'upscale' your lamp for your home or classroom. 

Blessings!!!

Texas Flag from a pallet

Bigger & Greener

I made this sign for my Mom after a very special conversation with my 101 year old Grandmother. My Grandma wanted it to be clear that she loves us all "bigger and greener".
