Menu board planner

I've been having some issues with food inspiration. I've been contemplating a meal plan for a while. I saw this diy on Facebook and fell in love with it.
All you need:
- some fabric that you like and backing or scrapbook paper
- magnets
- glue gun
- clothes pins ( I used bobby pins)
- card stock
- marker
- cue cards

1) glue the fabric to the backing.
2) glue the magnets to the back of the menu.
3) cut out 8 shapes out of the card stock (1 for the menu title and 7 for the days of the week. ) and write.
4) glue the title onto the menu and the weekdays onto the clothes pins
5) glues back of clothespins to menu in order.
6) and lastly, write down your meals on the cue cards and as you find recipes you like you can add them to your menu cards.

This lamp took me about 10 minutes with a permanent marker.

'Tis The Season Pt.2

I remember when I was a kid weaving vines to make crowns. Well now I have a grown up reason to! Add some ribbon, bells, fake berries or branches, some pine cones... Whatever and hang it on the wall I gave this one to a really good friend and he put it in the lobby of the apartment building he manages.

'Tis The Season Pt.1

This is a great hostess gift or even a christmas party favor and best of all it only takes seconds to make!!
You can buy the clear bulbs pretty much anywhere. Take the tops off and add whatever you want to them! I added little pieces of fake branches and flowers, beads, sequins, and itty bitty jingle bells. But you can add whatever you want. Snap the top back on and tie a ribbon on to hang it and voila!

Spruce Up a Picture

Got a picture frame that's too big for your picture? Try putting some scrapbook paper behind it!

Another Cinderella Project

Now I did this a couple years ago but we love it so much I figured I'd throw it on the new blog! What the heck! right? This started off as a picture frame that was too small for any of the pictures I had. And rather than spend money getting a smaller picture I got creative instead. I know, oh god no!! Quick Bob get the kids in the minivan!!
Now the key to this project is layers. On one side of the glass paint the stuff in the foreground (you have to work backwards), then paint what's behind that, and so on. Now if you are doing flowers like I did remember, blossoms first then stems.

I Love Button Magnets!!

These little magnets are a great way to funkify your kitchen. They also make great house warming gifts and they are so easy to make!!
All you need is some large magnets (not too heavy though), some magnet strip, and a glue gun.
Cut some of the magnet strip so it will be just big enough to be hidden by the button.
Then glue gun the piece of magnet to the back of the button, or the side you don't want to show. And there you go!! Button magnets for all!! I know ridiculously easy! Why did I even need to have a tutorial? Because its fun!
