Thank you, Grandma Haller!

Grandma Haller graciously gave us her guest room furniture when she moved last July.

Here are some pictures of our 'new and improved' guest room:

The walls are a little nekkked so I'm on the lookout for a craft or wall art.

Ideas welcome! 

 I love this dresser.

  Holy Moley are those drawers heavy!

See that cuuute little chair in the corner? Goodwill: $3.00

Thank You Grandma Haller for the beautiful furniture, we love it!

Happy Birthday, my love

Happy Birthday to my love, my best friend, my hubby!

After working over 90 hours, 

I think you have some super-powers. 

Last years birthday was the same, 

baggy eyes and a crazy mane. 

 I know you would like to hit the hay,
but today's the 8th and today's your day!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

not just for grandmas

I'm a 60 year old trapped in a 23rd year old body. Whatev.

$1.50/yard for fabric.
Um... yes, please.

I made these curtains for our 'new' guest room. 

What do you think?

LOVE crafts!

Here's a quick and easy Valentine craft. Great for all ages!

(and cheap too!)

Find some scrapbook paper you like; construction paper or fabric would work too.

Find a small frame. 

(don't you love the heirloom frame I recently picked up at goodwill for $.50?!)

Dump your extra/old scrabble pieces out. Brainstorm a small cross-word.

(my example will be below)

Cut your paper to fit the frame.

I took the glass from the frame and traced around it. If kids are helping, you could trace around the glass and let them do the cutting.

Then, hot glue your letters to the paper. 

I used a straight-edge, it was the perfectionist in me...

Voila!

A cute, inexpensive craft that could also make a great gift!
