A different type of wreath...

I love crafting....especially when it doesn't cost me very much. Having that said, I LoVeD this project. The only thing I had to purchase was a book that I wanted to rip apart...sorry Tom Clancy, but it did go to a good cause. This is a pretty easy project and goes together pretty quickly, which is another bonus.  Here are some pictures of the whole process as well as some of the finished project.

 These are the different ways that I rolled my pages. It gave the wreath a little variety.

Handmade Gift Exchange

I participated in this event sponsored by Craftaholics Anonymous....the Handmade Gift Exchange. I got paired up with a girl from Flordia. Her favorite holiday is Halloween so this is what I made: 

I originally wanted to hang this in a long picture frame but the letters were too big so I just kept it a wall hanging. I still want to try making one for myself using the picture  frame...we'll see how it turns out.

June 13, 2011...Diaper Tricycle

So...one of the girls at work is expecting a little boy in August and we are throwing her a surprise baby shower. Everyone in the Lehi store went in on a gift and this is what we decided on...a diaper tricycle. So cute!!!! At first we were thinking of doing a diaper cake but that is to cutesy for Diana and then I stumbled upon this idea and I'm so glad I did. It was a blast to make and pretty easy! Everything is monkey themed, even the diapers had little monkeys on them.

May 26, 2011...Yay for crafts!!!!

I don't know if anyone else has this problem but I sure do. I have a sweet storage of grocery bags! I love having them but at the same time they take up space and just look ugly even if they do hide in the cupboard under the sink. It drives me crazy!!! So I finally did something about it...I love it!!! It's cute and oh so very functional.

My next little project came about because I discovered a slight pet peeve. We had just finished our little table in our front room and it became a great place to set drinks. The ring thing on the table after a cold drink has been sitting there doesn't come off!!!! Ahhh!!!!! So my clever and cute solution...
I really wanted to spell out Bogenschutz but 1) I couldn't find that many little round things and 2) that would be a lot of coaster, so I settled for six. They come in handy so often!

This is my last project. I just really like the cut of the wood so I spray painted over the ridiculous saying that was on it replaced it something a lot better. It's so fun putting your name on things.

Crafting!!!!

So I think I may be getting a little obsessed with crafting...but at least its fun, cute, and I try to keep it very inexpensive...not that easy, not that easy ;) sometimes! Here are my two latest crafts. A weekly menu using a picture frame, scrapbook paper, and a dry erase marker...super easy. Hopefully this motivates me to cook more which would definitely make the husband very happy :)
These are cute little "B" blocks using Pres. Hinckley's "B's". I can't decide if they really are done or if I need a little something extra...just can't decide between this and maybe a little rustic action. What
