Pintrest Projects

I can't get enough of Pintrest.  It's horrible.  Here are a few things that I have started on and things I want to get started on....(click on pictures to be directed to sites)

First up this adorable Turkey Day shirt!  Love it!  Me making it won't happen though....maybe next year?!

Next up....I just can't get enough of these beautiful Dahlias.  My girls NEED them for hair accessories.  Need!

I am actually in the process of this adorable alphabet for baby #4...talk about last minute :)  It's gonna be WAY cute when it's done.  I will post progress pics this week.



And finally this art for my 4 year olds room.  Love it!

If your interested in Pintrest let me know...you need an invite to get in :)  Have a great day!

Thanksgiving Printables

Can you believe Thanksgiving is just around the corner?  Craziness!  Baby #4 has 46 more days to go.....can't wait!  Hope you enjoy these printables!  Cute turkey designed by this fab lady here.

You can also grab this super cute Subway Art here...

Going Batty!

If your looking for a fun super inexpensive way to spice up your home for Halloween read on about how to make these cute bats.  You can go crazy inside your home or wait for Halloween day and do up your porch.

I used construction paper (it's what I had on hand) but black cardstock would work great!

These bats fly along side my favorite decorated table at my house :)

I found this idea on Pintrest.  This lady went CRAZY with the bats....I love it!

And here they are decorating up her front porch!

Find the great tutorial by going here.  She has step by step instruction with the template!  Have fun!

Halloween To-Do List

This time of year is my absolute FAVORITE time, so much so that I have already begun decorating for Halloween....is that crazy?  If so, just don't tell me!  These are a few things that I am adding to my to-do list (as if it's needs anymore added to it)  I found all of these ideas on Pintrest, which is a horribly, awfully addicting site that I do not suggest you visit :)

Great tutorial found here on how to make these pretty spider webs.

You can't have enough wreaths in your house!  Find how to make this adorable one here.

This pumpkin is oh so pretty!

How adorable is this Halloween frame?  I could make tons and tons of these!  Found here...

Happy Halloween decorating to you all!

Back to School Crafts!

I have been in Yellowstone for the past week having fun with my family! 

We were able to see every animal you could possibly see in Yellowstone including a mama bear and her two cubs....which were adorable to look at from the safety of our car :)  Now we are gearing up for another family trip to Canada for a wedding which, when we get back from our vacationing, doesn't leave a lot of time before school starts.  Hence this post for a few fun and easy back to school projects for your little ones....

Take some of those empty Altoid tins and let your kids decorate for instant lunch money holders....so cute!

My girls will so love this idea!  Cover a plain old notebook with pipe cleaners!

Let's the kids have at it decorating tupperware bins to hold their homemade lunches.
All of these ideas found here.



Make up these adorable fruit tags for lunches found here.




Here are some cute day of the week tags to hang on kids outfits for school.

Others ideas:
-make a crayon wreath
-melt different colors broken up crayons in muffin tin and let cool for fun multi colored crayons.
-have the kids make bookmarks
-let the kids help pick out and clean up a homework area(s).

Good luck and more importantly HAVE FUN!

Hello? Anybody out there?

HELLO?  Is anybody out there? 

Ok so my blogging break took a bit longer (a lot longer) than I anticipated....I have a good excuses....I promise.

So right after the abrupt stopping of my blog my husband had surgery and was down and out for a bit.  After nursing him back to health it was kids, kids, and kids.  So many activities and things happening because of school coming to an end.....and then to top it off

I'm 3 1/2 months pregnant with our 4th!

Pretty surprised if you ask me.  And I must tell you, for the first couple of months of my pregnancies me and the porcelain throne are BEST friends.  I make a visit about 6-7 times a day and lost a lot of weight.  I have been put on two different medications and had IV fluids to help ease the pain.  Nothing helps.  Luckily the 6-7 times a day of puking has lessened to 1 or 2 and I feel myself SLOOOWLY getting back to normal.

So there you go.  My reasons for being such a slacker.  I would like to get back to this blog but I will start off slow....posting once a week.  How does that sound?

Glad to be back!  Hope to hear from some of you soon :)
