Laundry Room Sign
 
I have seen so many cute laundry room signs that I loved but did not like the $ of them SO.. I decided I would "create" my own.
 
 
The idea started when I found the large safety pins on Ballard Designs that I had my eye on for a few years just did not know quite how I would use them.
 
Started out with a trip to Home Depot and as usual my fav place Michaels.. (also just found out there is one coming to Napa I am SOOO excited!!)
 

Painted the board  and letters ...

 
Glued on some scrap burlap I had around..
 
 
Hot glued the letters and added some thumb tack embellishments (fancy it up a  bit)
 
and....
 
 
Here is the before
 
 
BORING...
 
&
 
after...


 
Not as boring....
 
and yes.. to much time on my hands...
 
Now I am not hooked on.... SPRAY PAINT... so will be posting next project soon..
 
Thanks for checking it out

My Pinterest inspiration for Easter
 
I saw the cutest candy jar idea and "tried to copy" or at least add my own twist to it. 
 
 
My idea was to create a "jibby" jar.  Jibbies are what Dominic calls little trinkets.  I decided to make one for Dominic and his cousins Jaxon, Mason and Austin.  First stop Michaels for the supplies
 
 
I glue gunned the letters to the top of the jars to "personalize" them.
 

 
Found the cutest little cans of spray paint at Home Depot about a dollar cheaper then at Michaels.  Had to give the tops a few coats over a few days to make them completely covered.
 
 
I then purchased the "jibbie" candy goodies to go inside.  I was so excited to find edible Easter grass but, I tried it and .... its gross but, never know with kids they might like it :)
 
 
The final product. 
 
Also here are the cupcakes I made :) The kids did ask if the nests were "to eat" I said they could try. lol
