{Fabulous Frames}

This is one of two that I did for a friend.  I am about to add her daughter's names to the frames, but I haven't gotten around to that yet.

This is actually just a white frame--for some reason I edited it and it looked great on my phone, but not so great when you look at it larger. 

Ok, I am In love with these frames I got from  Oh my crafts for only $13!  I painted them with basic acrylic paint then took my sander around the edges.  What a super cheap gift!  {Bonus}  if you spend over $30 you usually get 20% off your order which makes them really a good deal especially if you are doing them to sell like me.  

These are really heavy, thick wood.  Holds a 4x6 picture. 

The water bottle is there so you can see the sizing of the frame.

{More Wooden Blocks}

Adorable baby set of blocks

Wedding present for a friend

And another wedding present

One of my favorites--the grandmother set for Mother's Day

Family set

I keep making more and more wooden block sets for people and I have to say I love making them--especially since we finally bought a saw and my husband can cut the blocks without me having to wait in line at the Home Depot!

{Chalkboard Station}

This all started with me picking up a random chalkboard at Hobby Lobby.  Ten minutes after I got home I had the thing painted and within an hour I had it sanded.  Then I walked around wondering what to do with it.  Then I had an idea--which then lead me back to Hobby Lobby for another board (and they didn't have another large one so I got a smaller one, which ended up working out much better!)

I'm into a "flying" phase--

Madly in {love} with this. 

I found a unpainted frame in my craft drawer, painted it, distressed it, then took the back off and hot glued metal sheets to the back!   Instant message board!

Maybe, maybe one day I will let the kids draw on it, but for now I just want to look at it and smile!

So after one day I finally let my little man take a test drive on the board after I scored it really well with the chalk.  Turns out this board is the perfect height and size to draw and create on!
