i want to share a few things...

that I have learned.

I have NEVER been a believer in "salon" hair products. I always believed that this stuff was just as good and a fraction of the price. Ha!! I was wrong. This stuff "rocks" my hair world.

I tried it and I will never go back!!

and the root pump...

Well,

it's "freaking" AWESOME!!

and as long as this silly little girl lives with me...

This is never going to go away.

She is either naked or wearing a different outfit every other minute...

I have an obsession with spray paint.

(is there a support group for spray paint addiction??)

This week I have spray painted a lamp, 3 picture frames, a curtain rod, 5 MDF boards for the babys room, and this weekend I am going spray about 100 plastic eggs.

A sad house...

After taking down my Christmas, my house was sad!!

(and I know this because it told me)

Valentines is in one month...

why not enjoy another holiday!

I have seen this subway art everywhere.

I decided to make my own.

I found a frame...

took the picture out of it...

Made one of my own on PSE...

And added it to my shelf.

(I don't like the cream mat...I'll have to fix that)

I am all about reusing and recycling what you already have...

try it, make it, and LOVE it!

A Tutorial on Tuesday

I had so many requests for the magnets, so here are the instructions...

1st you need the little wood tiles. I bought mine at Joann's. They come in a little bag like this...

(this is off of Joann's website. This is obviously not the exact ones. These are hearts. I did the square ones, but the hearts would be cute too. I just wanted to show you that they came in a bag.)

Then I painted them with black paint. I also think that they would be cute if you painted them with other colors. My girls have a magnet board in their room and I think that I am going to make them some, but paint them with bright pink and green.

Then you need wallet sized pictures. I cropped mine in photoshop, but that is a pain to do unless you know photoshop and how your photo center prints them. So wallets will work just fine. Cut them to fit the wood tiles.

Then you get out the modge podge. (who doesn't love modge podge? It is awesome) Put a layer on the tile. Put your picture down and then apply another coat of modge podge.

Let dry. Add 3 more coats of modge podge.

When dry spray with acrylic clear coat. I would use a couple of layers of spray, but allow to dry before adding the next coat.

And you are done. They are really easy, really cute, and really cheap to make!

I am addicted to...

crafting. And I can't help it.

I made these for my nephews for Valentines Day. Cute and easy to carry in your purse.

Our grandparents got these for Valentines Day. Magnets of the girls little faces.

I also am addicted to making cards right now. Anyone want to be in a card club exchange with me??

It has recently been brought to my attention that I am an overachiever. (Thanks Tanya, now I feel bad ;))

I, on the other hand disagree. If you came over to my house right now you would see children running amuk, laundry in need of folding, a house in dire need of a good cleaning, and a craft room in total disarray. And yesterday my baby big girl wore her pj's all day long!!!

If only I didn't need to sleep or if there were 30 hours in a day.

Now a little explanation. I have been trying to get pregnant for about a year now. I haven't blogged about it because I have been hoping and wishing that I would be pregnant. I have joked about it and I have cried about it. Neither which seems to be helping. SO...I think that my need to craft is my way of making cute things, since there is no baby. And to make me feel better... knowing that if I had a baby, I wouldn't have the time to craft. So crafting is my therapy!

But I am afraid that my crafting days are coming to an end. We are ready to get back to remodeling. I promised my hubby that I would finish painting all the trim upstairs if he would build the girls closet and then I could start my painting project in their room. YEAH! He agreed to the pink stripes on the wall. I am giddy with excitement!

Now I just need to find material to coordinate with the paint for their bedspreads...
