90 min.(or less) Little Girl Twirl Skirt!

Isn't this skirt FuN!! My awesome cousin made this for her AdoRabLe little girl the other day... in under 90 min.! How fun and easy to change up your little girls wardrobe with a few of these. I am definitely going to have to try making some of these for my girls. It will probably take me longer than 90 min (like most of my sewing projects usually do).... but hey...if it saves a little cash (especially using Joann's coupons)...and looks adorable...then I'm all for it! For more info and an awesome tutorial...go here!

Thanks Deb!!

Have FuN!

Cupboard Door Bow Holder!

Yea!! Its done! I have been wanting to make one of these for quite some time now...after I saw this AdOrAbLe idea here! Today...I came across another one here! SO CUTE!!

My daughters bows were always getting smashed...they were scattered everywhere...and when it was time to find them...I had no idea where they were. NOT ANYMORE!!! :)

I made this from a cupboard door. YeS...I love re-purposing! I just painted it...sanded edges a little...mod podged the paper on it...distressed it by wiping stain on edges...stapled ribbon using staple gun...and drilled holes in the top and hung it with wire! So CuTe and So SiMpLe!!

I was thinking...you could even turn this into a picture holder or message center...by making some cute clothes pin hangers like the ones I made here!

HaVe FuN!!

Spotlight: "SayItOnTheWall" vinyl decor

How many of us have those non-child friendly Nativity Sets that we set out every year... and HOPE... that they won't get dropped or broken in some way??? Yes...I am SURE they are very BEAUTIFUL...but wouldn't it be FUN to have one that your children or grandchildren can play with and really learn from?!!

Check out what Mckay from SayItOnTheWall came up with!!! I think these are AbSoLuTelY AdOrABLe!!! Not to mention their functionality. How FuN would these be for your kids:

9 PIECE NATIVITY SET:

The nativity story block is a neat idea because it has a different picture of the Christmas Story on each of the 6 sides. It's a great tool for both teaching and telling the story. Mckay says that her kids have been loving looking at each side... and telling that part of the story!

NATIVITY STORY CUBE :

Also...here are pics of two of her most popular products:

TILE CLOCK :

GLASS BLOCK NATIVITY :
I LoVE them!!!
Wouldn't any one of these make a great Super Saturday project!!!

Thanks for the idea Sarah!

Personalize Your Camp Chairs!!

If you haven't tried freezer paper stenciling yet...you need to!! They are sooo much FuN!!

These were made from simple freezer paper stencils that I cut out with my Cricut. I used regular craft paint...but the fabric paint might work a little bit better...I just didn't have any on hand. Here is an awesome freezer paper stencil tutorial from MADE... if you haven't done them before. I must say...they are A-LoTTa FuN!! I was thinking...I might add a princess crown above my daughters name... and sprinkle glitter over the paint to give it that SpaRkLe!

The one above was made by straight stitching( ?I think that is what its called?) over a taped piece of paper that I printed my name on. It was pretty easy...but took more time than the painted way.

No more "Which chair is mine?" questions!!!! YEA!!! :)

These would also make fun Christmas or Birthday gifts!!

HaVe FuN!!

FuN Monogrammed Necklace!

Here is another FuN necklace idea:

I came across this idea at Mod Podge Rocks! I LoVe this blog!! Amy has so many CuTe CuTe crafting ideas using Mod Podge. She has instructions on how she made hers here!!
I LoVe personalizing stuff...so I made these for my girls.

You could get pretty CrEaTiVe with these...you could put shapes, pictures, photos, and you could even glam them up with that glitter glaze!

I first drilled a hole with a 1/16" drill bit in the top of the circle...then painted mine with regular craft paint...then traced the wooden circle on some scrapbook paper... cut it out...glued it on...then when the glue was dry...I used the drill to make the hole in the paper.

Then used my Cricut to cut out the letter...and Mod Podged it on. I would think you could use that Diamond Glaze that we used on the washer necklaces too...if you would like that glassy look. I haven't tried it yet...but I think it might turn out really CuTe! {FYI} The M was made out of scrapbook paper...and the A was made out of vinyl.
Then...I just attached a 7mm jump ring that I bought at JoAnns!!

Very Inexpensive and Very FuN to Make!!

HaVe Fun!!

Button Bracelets!

O.K. aren't these ADORABLE!!!

Who would have known that something so simple could be so CuTe!! I found this at lillyella where she has posted an awesome tutorial to show you how to make them. Go check it out here!!

I might have to make a few of these with my daughter! Maybe...also a few for Christmas or Birthday gifts!! Anyone know where you can find cute buttons like that??

Thanks lillyella for the great idea!!

HaVe FuN!!

Name Blocks

We recently had a reception to go to... and I needed a quick wedding gift...so this is what I came up with:

I used a 2x6 for the big "S" and a 2x4 for the "miths". For the "Est. 2009" I had my husband rip a 2x4 on our table saw to the size that i needed...so that the "miths" block and the "Est. 2009" block were the same height as the big "S". Before I cut the blocks...I cut the vinyl letters with my Cricut to the size that I wanted... and then measured the block length from that. I just painted the blocks, sanded and stained the edges... then stuck the vinyl on and wrapped a scrap piece of tulle around and tied in a bow.

Very Simple...but Very Cute! Have FuN!

Fathers Day Gift Idea!

What father wouldn't love a pair of new working gloves??? I just stuffed the ones I am giving with their favorite candy bars and candy!! Or...stuff them with whatever you think your dad or hubby would like!! And of course...I LoVe the tie and shirt card I saw on here ! Thanks for the idea!! Have FuN!!

FuN Water Bottle Holder!

I found this idea here...and I thought these would be perfect for when my kids are riding their bikes ...or for when we go camping and hiking this summer! I just bought my ribbon at Walmart...and the rubber O-Rings I bought at Home Depot. They came in a pack of 10. I couldn't find the same size that they suggested here...so I ended up getting 1 1/16" x 7/8" x 3/32" and that worked too. I used a little Fray Check on the ends of the ribbon...folded the ribbon a couple of times...stitched...and I was done! Soooo EaSy!! For complete instructions on how they made theirs ... click HERE! Have FuN!!

Personalized Beach Towel

My kiddos think these are pretty CoOL! I think they will get used a-lot this summer. They even love to lay them all out... in the house... and sit on them when they are watching TV.

These were fun to make! The towels I bought at Walmart (last year) for only $3. For these...I just traced some card stock letters (that I printed from my computer and cut out with an exact-o knife) onto some scrap fabric ...cut them out...and used fabric glue and StUcK them on the towel . Then I zig-zag stitched around the edge of each letter. If you don't like the frayed edge on the letters after you wash the towel...you could try using "Fray Check". I like the frayed look. Although... I did still have to trim some of the threads a bit after the first washing.

If you feel really CrEaTiVe...you could add flowers, or a dinosaur, or whatever your child would like!

I need to make some more of these... for when they take their baths so they don't use a new towel every time...which means" LeSS LaUnDrY "for me!! Yea!!

These would also make really cute Birthday or Christmas Gifts!! Have FuN!!

Cookie Dough Pie (Yummm.)

Today when I was browsing blogs...I came across this:

Y*U*M*M*Y!!!

I am a HUGE cookie dough fan..so when I saw this I was in LoVe! :)

I found this on Big Red Kitchen !! You only need 3 ingredients to make this:

• Chips Ahoy Cookies (original)
• Cool Whip
• milk

(optional) chocolate syrup

The instructions look very simple...so I think I can handle this one! I'm getting hungry just thinking about it!

For the complete recipe and instructions for this yummy pie go here!!

Thanks Robin!!
