Ready to Start Crafting!!


I am just dying to do some crafting. I have more time now on my hands, since I'm no longer taking classes. Although, my life hasn't quite slowed down much.  Haylee is in dance and Shae is in football. Between the two of them, we are always on the go.  But, I can't stand having nothing to do.  I like my life full of craziness and my calendar full.  Ok. Back to why I'm blogging.  I have found some really neat ideas from other blogs that I love to follow.  I am so excited about all these Cool craft ideas that I just have to share them with all of YOU!!  In HOPES of my sharing with YOU, that one of you would like to join me on a Crafting Day!!  Tell me what you think!!

CUTE FRAME IDEA
This is such a cool idea for a frame.  I'm thinking, this would be the perfect Christmas present for ALL the grandparents!! Grandparents Love pictures of their Grandbabies, right?!?!
  All you need is a wood block, spray paint, fabric flowers, a clothespin, and for the finial use furniture feet or a dowel rod.  You can find this craft at Shanty 2 Chic's blog!!!  

PICTURE HANGER

This is another fun picture idea from Shanty 2 Chic, is this Super Cute Picture Hanger.  This could also be a great Christmas present for family or friends!! 



MAGNET BOARD
Just a month ago, I had Bob take down our Big mirror that was attached to my dresser.  I have always hated that mirror.  It was huge and made my room look smaller with it.  Now, I might just have to have him go into our storage shed and dig out that mirror.  I think I can turn that Big, useless mirror into a cute Magnet Board to go behind Haylee's desk.  I found this really neat idea over at Remodelaholic
She used the ends of a crib and turned it into this below!!
I LOVE THIS IDEA, I showed Haylee & She loved it 2.

FALL CENTER PIECE

If you are in need of a new center piece for your dining room table, this is perfect for this time of year. I absolutely love this idea, its simple, cheap, and beautiful for your table. 

 All you will need is a glass vase, pine cones, pumpkins, some pretty flower stems, and now you have a fall center piece!!! Super easy & Super Cute. You can make this all under $10, now that is a bargain!!  I am going to have to get my butt over to Hobby Lobby to make this!!

HALLOWEEN TREAT IDEA
I love finding new fun snack ideas to do with the kiddos, especially for different holidays.  I found these adorable Halloween Eyeball Pops.  They are white chocolate covered Oreos with gummy lifesavers and a mini chocolate chip for the eye, YUMMY!!  We have tons of Popsicle sticks to use for this snack.

Hope I have inspired YOU to start Crafting!! I will share my own version of these projects after they are finished.  Anyone want to join me for a day of Crafting FUN let me know!!! 
Love, Jess
