Happy Valentine's Day!

2012-02-14T14:50:00.000-08:00

So, I know I've taken a 5 month break...But it's been a little crazy around here. I'm pregnant {24} weeks and have been on bed rest for the last month & a half. I've been trying to keep myself busy with movies, netflix, books, you name it...but I'm starting to get the creative itch again and think it might be good for me to focus on crafting again (things I can do from my bed of course and things

Chicken Dinner! I know I was supposed to post the winner on Friday but we decided to go North for a cabin trip and some cooler weather. While on said trip my phone decided to go into "recovery mode" whatever that is. It won't turn on without a computer, which we didn't have. We also didn't have a tv all weekend. But, it turned out to be one of our favorite trips yet! Without all of the

Halloween Countdown Blocks

2011-10-11T10:24:00.000-07:00

I got the idea here on Pinterest to make some countdown blocks. I was really excited because my husband had some extra wood on hand that was the perfect size. So I cut the blocks, modge podged some scrapbook paper to it, and then used my trusty friend's cricut to cut out the numbers and letters. I love how it turned out! I also love that it usually says something like "82 days til candy" because

BeWITCHing Halloween Craft

2011-10-09T11:36:00.000-07:00

Yes, I just went there with the pun. I also know that I said I'd post a Halloween idea every day this month, but honestly who really believed me? Haha I always think I can do a lot more than what is really gonna happen. Today I'm going to show you a fun Halloween craft that the kids can help you with (or not if it will drive you crazy like it would me) But it is that easy people. First, cut a

Pumpkin Muffins

2011-10-05T09:06:00.000-07:00

So I'm sure you've seen this pin floating around Pinterest lately. I decided I had to try them. I made some homemade pumpkin puree last year and figured I'd better use it up before this fall hits and I can make some more to replace it. So, I changed the recipe up just a tiny bit but it was still the easiest recipe I've ever made and was SO delicious. My husband and I may or may not have finished

Halloween Month Begins...

2011-10-04T07:53:00.000-07:00

Yep, I know, I am once again late for the beginning of a holiday/season. Four days to be exact but who's counting? I decided that I would feature some type of Halloween{ish} post a day. And to kick it off I will share with you my halloween wreath I made the other day. I used this pin to make the wreath form. It was super duper easy and verrrry cheap. BUT I don't know how she got a perfect circle

2011-10-03T10:36:00.000-07:00

Hey friends! It's been awhile I know...I've been busy with my loads and loads of laundry, and cooking, and cleaning (what's gotten into me??)

Pinned. Food Edition.

2011-09-26T09:51:00.000-07:00

I have a slight obsession with Pinterest. It's addicting on so many levels... But I decided it almost leaves me struggling to decide on what I need to accomplish. Like my To Do list grows to over 100 in minutes... Yesterday was definitely a Pinterest filled day (in a good way) I got a lot accomplished and also had a couple failed attempts at things. Here are the results: Yogurt Covered Pretzels

Happy Birthday Bear!

2011-09-15T14:09:00.000-07:00

It was my lovely daughter's birthday this last week and she was turning 3. I have always thought 3 year olds looked so big and now she's one of them. My baby is all grown up... Here are some pictures from her big day! I got the cute subway art from one of my favorite blogs here. and I got the cute little yellow print somewhere online and now I can't find it for the life of me?? So if you know

Thankful Banner

2011-09-07T19:23:00.000-07:00

So...I have been loving the prospect of fall...if only it would get here already! I decided to make a fall/thanksgiving banner yesterday. I used burlap for the pennants and glitter because I had no craft paint :) and we all know I don't go to the store unless I have to. Battling two toddlers at the craft store is basically the worst thing ever. So, I had bought some stencils from Michaels and I

Autumn Subway Art {free printable}

2011-09-02T12:06:00.000-07:00

Since it is officially September, I thought I'd bust out some of my fall decor. Even though it is still 127 degrees here in AZ I'm hoping that if I pretend it's fall, the weather will follow my lead. Since I got married the decorating budge was pretty much non-existent. So, I decided I'd add to the holiday decor little by little every year. That is why this year I decided to add an Autumn Subway

And 8 Months Later...

2011-08-11T15:35:00.000-07:00

Finished! I finally finished my new "entertainment center"!!! Hallelujah! This baby has been sitting on my back porch for the last 8 months. Why? Because I had no idea where to begin. Plus I have 2 toddlers and found it way to difficult to find a saturday that my husband could take the kids so I could work on it. Well, this last weekend was the day! I picked this up at goodwill for...wait for

2011-08-10T11:24:00.000-07:00

This recipe is definitely one of my family's faves. I had completely forgotten about them until the other day and then I couldn't get them out of my mind. So of course I had to make them, and by 9:30 AM they were half gone. oops! haha I may or may not have self control. Here is the recipe, you can thank me later...or be mad at me for the 5lbs you might gain :) Enjoy! Fudgey Squares1 pkg. Choc.

Lace Bow Tutorial

2011-08-08T08:16:00.000-07:00

I just made a bunch of these for a bow exchange and thought I'd share the how-to on here :) It's pretty simple... Cut a piece of pretty lace, and run a basting stitch along the bottome. Pull until it becomes a little flower-ish. Haha or pull until it becomes a circle. Make sense? Do the same with another piece of coordinating lace Sew or glue the two together... Add a felt circle on the

My Goodwill Find

2011-08-05T12:51:00.001-07:00

So while I've been switching everything up in our house I decided to make half of our closet into my craft area...Not ideal, but not too bad either. At the moment I was taking up 3/4 of our closet, so I went through and gave a ton up to goodwill. I had a huge black garbage bag full of clothes and shoes to donate and after I dropped it off, decided to wander in for a little. I walked in and found

Paint Stick Projects

2011-08-02T10:14:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone...It's been awhile...I've been trying to reorganize my house. It's been so chaotic and I'm trying to figure out the best way for our house to function. Half the time I decide where things will go and be organized and change my mind and have to start all over again. So, maybe someday I'll be done, and then I'll change my mind or have another baby HA! Anyways, I always have about a

Ruffly Onesie Dress

2011-07-11T15:41:00.000-07:00

We've had a lot of cute babies being born the last couple months, so I've had the chance to make a lot of fun presents for them :) Here is another little gift, that isn't expensive and is very easy to make. So maybe I'm such procrastinator that half the time I remember the shower the morning of. And maybe I make presents up until the minute before I leave...I'm not the only one right?? Anyways

Taggie Blanket Tutorial

Fabric Buggy Shower Invites

2011-07-08T10:40:00.000-07:00

I saw these invitations and decided I'd make them when I got the chance...Well, I helped throw my friend's shower and thought it was the perfect time :) What's fun about these is I used up all of my fun girly scraps that I saved because I didn't want them to go to waste, but really thought I'd never find a use for... The other good thing about these is they are really easy & cheap! All you do is

Ruffly Apron Tutorial

2011-06-10T17:51:00.000-07:00

I know graduation had come and gone but I figured I'd post this how-to anyways. I decided for my SIL & sister (sorry Katelyn yours will be ready for you when you come back!) I'd make aprons for their graduation gifts this year. I figured college was when I had to learn how to cook so they might as well do it in style while their learning, yes? Although graduation is over, I feel like aprons are
