Welcome to my Creative Fridays. I am not the most organized person. In January I went through my daughters' closets, cleaned them out and tried to make them neat. I put most of their toys in their closets but found that some of the larger items would not fit on the shelves. What to do? I went to IKEA and found these unfinished storage containers. They are quite big - 22 wide, 12 inches high, 13 … [Read more...]

About 8 years ago I discovered an unexpected decorating resource: JCPenney.com. It kind of flies under the radar. I have bought quite a few pieces of furniture through them. You DO have to put the furniture together, but it's usually pretty easy assembly. A few years ago I bought a couple of chairs to go at the head and foot of my kitchen table. I liked that they were upholstered, although I … [Read more...]

Here's an easy project to make with your kids. I bought two packages of foam craft hearts from my local craft store. They were on sale and ended up costing me $2 for each package. I used left-over scrapbook materials for the rest of the project. This is what I used: Foam hearts 4 different, coordinating scrapbook papers Ribbon (one kind for each banner) Foam and chipboard flower shapes … [Read more...]
I am always a little sad and melancholy as I take down my Christmas decorations every year. Especially this year, as the holidays seemed to go by at lightning speed. I finally got my living room tree taken down yesterday - yay! I was at my local craft store this week getting some things for a school project and noticed aisles of Christmas decoration at 75% off. As I looked around an idea came into … [Read more...]

On Wednesday Hayley and I went to a Mother/Daughter Beehive activity. We let our creative juices flow and this is what we came up with: We had a wonderful time. It was fun to spend time with just Hayley and see her sweet, enthusiastic personality shine through. Here are some other houses that Hayley's friends and their moms made: Maybe if we'd had more time, our would have come out looking … [Read more...]

I'm running a little slow today. I took my two oldest kids to see the Twilight movie at midnight last night. The theater we saw it at had all 12 screens showing the movie at midnight and it was PACKED. When the main characters came onscreen the entire audience cheered and whistled. We had a fun time. I had really low expectations of the movie going in because I generally don't like movies based on … [Read more...]

I was looking for some good ideas for Thanksgiving place cards and of course Martha Stewart has some great ones. These are my favorites. This one is more sophisticated. I like that it is a place card and a favor. The template is available on Martha's website. This one would be great for everyone and especially kids. It lets everyone write down specific things that they are grateful for. … [Read more...]

This month they have some really fun pumpkin decorating ideas. Here are my favorites: No Carve Pumpkins Aren't these cool? Here is how you make them: 1.
