Wall Art

I was inspired by my amazing friend

Carey with http://www.withjoycarey.blogspot.com/,

to create this fun project :)

I originally set out to make a pair for Lexie's room, but ended up liking this one for our study/drum room.

(sorry for the lighting - took this in the afternoon when the natural light in the room wasn't the best)

Here is how I did it....

Step 1: Canvas (I bought mine at Michaels during a 40% off sale!)

Step 2: Adhesive (I chose spray adhesive)

Step 3: 1st layer of paper cut to size

Step 4: Add additional layers

Step 5: Final touches (I used a Cricut machine to print the tag and letters)

Step 6: Add Hanger (I chose twine, but you could easily use ribbon) - secured with hot glue

The Final Result:

This one will (obviously) go into little Miss. Lexie's room (initials A.R.W. for Alexandria Rose)

Acorns, Acorns, Acorns!

My friend, Kelly, introduced me to these lovelies...

we hope to make our own soon!

Kitchen Stools

One of my current hunts is to find some new (or old) bar stools for my kitchen counter. The kids absolutely love sitting on stools, so I am looking to find 3.

Naturally, I wish I could run out and purchase some stools immediately, but in order to find exactly what I am looking for (and in my price range), I need to be patient.

Who knows? Maybe they will just fall right into my lap...

Check out some of these lovelies -

After months of planning, weeks of preparation, and days of hard work, it all came together exactly as planned.
