Christmas presents - Pinterest style!

For Christmas this year Brandon, Natalie and I made presents for the grandmas and great grandmas!  We made reindeer, Christmas trees, and Mistletoes!

I love Pinterest for these ideas and can't wait to see what next year's presents will look like!  Next year I will make more Mistletoes though, as that one was my favorite and the one that will be hanging in our house next year!

It tickled a little!  :)

Easter Bouquet

For Easter Tyler told me he wanted to do baskets again, but that he wanted a candy bouquet for his. I thought I would go ahead and give it a try. So I gathered up my candy coupons, hit up Walmart and CVS for deals going on this week, and bought my supplies.

It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be to put it together. We found a 100 pack of skewers at Walmart, so now I have plenty for the next bouquet he wants me to make. Thinking of making him one for his birthday with drinks?

Finished product, ready to to go for Easter for the hubby

Fall Decorations

This year for Halloween I wanted to add some Brandon decorations!!  So that is exactly what I worked on during Fall Break!!  Brandon loved helping me make this cute decoration too!

Started by painting a canvas all black

I had to paint B's foot white to make the ghost

He wanted to watch as I put it on the canvas

Added some eyes!

Added some orange dots, and the word Boo!  Can't wait to hang it in our house!

DIY - frames

I have been living on Pinterest lately, and have been finding a lot of great ideas that I would like to do in my house.  We have been moving things around, and finding new spaces to put up all of our great photos of B.  In the process of doing this we have moved some frames, and decided we didn't want them any more.  Instead of going out and buying new frames, I decided to give ours an updated look.

I took the old silver frames and decided to paint them using the sample colors left over from B's room.  Then I am going to use these frames to put outside of his room, where I am going to put up pictures of our little monkey.  I'm excited to see how the wall turns out.  For now, here are the frames.

The frames were silver with wedding pictures

 Now they'll be green and khaki with B's pictures

Another pinterest idea I took i decided to hang in our bedroom.  I love this, and decided it would be a great way to affirm each oter.  It was really easy to make too.  Thank you Joann's for the frame, and my Cricut for the words.
