I made me some pom poms!

Pom Pom flowers...easy peasy and they look good.

I started out with a couple of these floral holders that I got at Michael's. Don't want to brag but they were only $2.50 each!! Seriously...I can scan in my receipt if you don't believe me Geesh! Being that they were only a couple bucks I didn't feel horrible giving them a little spray paint makeover. My son said they looked like the color of poop. Can't have that...so white we go!

Distress a bit ...make some pom poms out of some fuzzy yarn. I didn't use regular yarn. I used like a really soft and furry yarn. I like how they turned out.

Then vacuum up yarn clippings for days!!

Making my sister's craft

So my sister made the cute craft for my nephew's teacher, and I thought that was a perfect gift for end of the year presents. I used a 8x10 canvas and then a piece of wood also. I have to say that the canvas is alot cheaper (I can make 2 for the price of 1), but you need to be exact with your cutting skills on the canvas. The wood is a little forgiving. If you are looking for a fun craft to do, make this for your kids teachers (and principal). After all, they are their home away from home! http://1talentedfamily.blogspot.com/search/label/gifts Scroll down and you will see how Nicole made this adorable gift!

Laundry makes me a Basket Case...so true!

Here is the sign that I see RIGHT when I walk into my laundry room...Laundry makes me a basket case....Sooooo true. Well, I was tired of my kids just throwing their laundry all over the floor. It seems to pile up so fast and can be a bit frustrating...would you agree with me? So I visited my local Ikea store and found these great hampers. They were $9.99 each. There is a lid on top so I don't have to see my laundry, and it is divided into two parts. It is separated by a zip up divider. So cool and convenient. I then came home and got out the Cricut and the vinyl and made a "Towels, Colors, Darks and Whites" label. Needless to say, this has been SUCH a GREAT thing for me. Little things can make the biggest difference and now I am not afraid to enter the dreaded laundry room!

Wall Art For Boys Room

I was on the hunt for some decor for my two older boy's room. They are into skateboarding now so I decided to go with that theme. I looked online and of course everything costs an arm and a leg and who is to say they will still like to skateboard next year?? So I tackled it myself. I bought a board at Home Depot..sorry don't know the size..it's long;)

Then I spray painted it black and then looked up different skating lingo...Yes I actually had to look it up. Drew (well tried to) a skateboard in the middle and then painted it up! I think it turned out great! I am excited for them to see it!
