Word Art

Hey everyone!  Does anyone else love Word Art like me?  I am obsessed with decorating my house with inspiring words.  Here are some examples of projects I have completed using words...

(I also love using an old piece of wood as my canvas)

Let me know what you think and any words that inspire you!

Hardware Samples into Decor

Hello everyone!  Today I wanted to share with you a little project I have came up with that I think is 

pretty awesome!  

While walking through Home Depot  {my favorite store}  I came across these little "tags" that are 

samples of different laminate flooring and my mind started turning...

{Hmm...I bet these bad boys could replace the cardboard tags that I am constantly making!}   

I grabbed a bunch and went home to test my theory.  I figured since they were a laminate surface I    

could use Dry Erase Markers to decorate the fronts and just erase and repeat!

And what do you know? My theory was right!! {YAY}

Next step was to make a place to display them since they can be reused...

I also have a Memo Board that I dress up for the different holidays and have incorporated  

these little "tags" into!

Let me know what you think!

DIY Home Wall Hanging

Hey, how is everyone this Saturday morning?  I wanted to show you a sign I made while my laptop was on "vacation".

I used scrap wood and Mod Podged some old book pages to it.  I then cut my letters out of cardboard and painted them.  I used a chipboard frame for the "O".  I drilled holes in the wood to attach the wire for hanging.  You can easily twist the wire by wrapping it around a pen/pencil/paintbrush etc. I hot glued my letters on and finished it all off with a nice coat of Mod Podge.  What do you think?

Scrap Wood SIgn

Hey guys, how are all of you today?  I am great and wanted to show you a little sign I made out of a piece of scrap 2x4 wood.  I used Mod Podge to cover the piece with a brown lunch bag.  I then added a cute plaid ribbon with hot glue.  I picked up some wood letters a while back and finally used scrapbook paper to decorate them.

After sanding the edges of the letters all I had left to do was hot glue them on the wood and attach  

a bracket for hanging.  What do you guys think?

Another Use For Pallets

I love a good pallet project and this morning I decided I should show you all what I came up with the leftover "stubs" in between the boards.  The pallet I got had huge blocks supporting the middle so I figured I might as well use them too!

That's right....candle holders!  I painted them white and added the numbers for a little extra something!  What do you think?  Any other ideas for these wood blocks?

Better Late Than Never

A while back I was supposed to host the first themed party featuring 3 items and I missed it so I wanted to show you all what I came up with.  Again...I apologize for missing the link ups and hope you all can try to understand that I wanted to participate but couldn't.

The items to use were paint chips, cereal box and twine.  I came up with a cute little purse for Miss Olivia to drag carry around.  :)  First choice was an empty Cheerios box but a certain little boy insisted on using it to tote around his cars.  I simply folded the sides in the middle to create the purse look.  I also cut off the top portion that had been opened.

I painted the empty box and added a brown lunch bag to serve as the inner "liner" for the purse.  

I used my hole punch to make a spot to add the "purse strings"  :)

Next Olivia and I decorated the new purse using only paint chips, mod podge and a hole punch... and ofcourse a little glitter for some glam!

The whole project only took about a half an hour but this little box purse is actually pretty sturdy and she has been using it this entire time!  

P.S.  I managed to snap a shot of Tre at breakfast with his new "car tote" too ;)
