Kids Artwork

Start by painting your frame and its background

Once dry put it together.

Grab your Mod Podge 

and glue your scrapbook shapes and letters onto the background.

Next add your child's photo (mine has a plastic frame)

and I also Mod Podged of my daughter's scrapbook dresses to the opposite corner.

Then add some scrapbook squares

and glue your child's name into the squares

 with scrabble tiles. 

Mod Podge the rest of your scrapbook embellishments.

Then I took two of my daughter's scrapbook dresses

and two square wood plaques

Painted the squares.

Then Mod Podged the dresses onto them.

Last I added glass knobs.

Now it was ready for twine, clothespins and artwork!

My little girl loved it! 

 Can't wait for the hubs to hang up in this space for me!

Next project is an upcycled headboard!  

Stay tuned!

Kitchen Office Organization 2013!

I am a HUGE mess!  

I have said it again and again and again. ... and I do 

REALLY try to be organized and 

every year I say I am GOING to DO it THIS year..  so I am participating in THIS challenge:

So here is the VERY scary BEFORE of my 
Kitchen Office Space..
If you have a weak stomach when it comes to messes.. 
look away!
THE BEFORE
The countertop

Countertop with Computer Space

The counter drawer (otherwise known as the JUNK drawer!)

The Filing Cabinet (Top)

Bottom

DURING 

I started by cleaning out the filing cabinet and moving all of last years files to the basement.

Then I added labels to all the folders.

Cleaned the inside of the Junk Drawer

The AFTER

I reorganized the files in the bottom of the filing cabinet.

Added some organizing bins for cards, envelopes and checkbooks.  Then some buckets for pens and tools.

Then I overhauled the JUNK drawer!

Last I gave the countertop a cleaning and took out the bill organizer!

Wow!  

I feel like an organizing Rock Star!

Don't forget to vote for me! 

I'm #43!
