My Pinteresting Weekend!

This past weekend the girls went and

stayed in Leroy for a few days.

I took the opportunity

to get off my computer

(I have a slight obsession

according to Jared to Pinterest)

and make a few things that I

have found the last few weeks.

If you don't know what Pinterest is

it is probably for the best.

You are saving yourself endless

hours of looking at

pictures creating long lists of

future "to dos" and "must haves".

Saturday morning Haley,

Tiffany,Roman, and

I went thrifting for

finds to make our projects.

I apologize I wasn't too good

at taking before and after pictures!

I was too excited I was actually

having "me time"!

And I only had a three

hour window (Roman's nap)

to get everything painted!

-1st Project-

DIY Dry Erase Board

Blessing Weekly Calendar

My inspiration came from

www.lessthanperfectlifeofbliss.blogspot.com.

My Before - A $5 find at a yard

sale earlier that morning!

My Finished Project!

How To?

1. I just popped the glass out.

2. Spray painted the frame black.

3. Put a piece of burlap behind

the glass ( which I can change for holidays!)

4. I choose to say "This Week's Blessings"

b/c I needed a central place Jared and I

could write down what we had during the week.

I liked the idea of being reminded that

having a doctor's appointment

or a late meeting is blessing not a disturbance.

5. I made fabric flowers out of burlap

and black polka dot fabric.

They need help, I know!

This Past Week's Blessings!

-2nd Project-

Kid's Art Display

I saw this on Pinterest and LOVED it!

My girl's are little artist and love

when I hang there pictures up!

I want to find chunkier picture frames

but I had these in storage so they were free :)

My inspiration came again from

www.lessthanperfectlifeofbliss.blogspot.com

I didn't get a before picture :/

But my Finished Project!

(I kinda combined the two ideas!)

How To?

1. I simply took the glass

out of unused frames

2. Spray painted the frames

3. For the chalkboard frame I spray painted

the inside cardboard with chalkboard spay paint.

4. For the others, I used floral wire and

taped it to the back and used

clips to hold the girl's art.

I have a new obsession

with chalkboard spray paint!

I love how the

wall turned out!

-3rd Project-

DIY Dry Erase

Weekly Dinner Menu

I so needed this! It has actually

made me cook more this week!

(okay, it has made me buy groceries so

Jared has cooked more this week!)

My inspiration came

from www.remarkable-home.blogspot.com

My Finished Project!

How To?

1. Spray paint frame

2. Stick a piece of scrapbook

paper behind the glass.

3. Stick on scrapbook letters on the glass

4. Use dry erase markers to plan

and remind yourself of this week's meals!

Jared thought it was funny to draw the

McDonald Arches on the whole week! ;)

-Project #4-

Haley's DIY Dry Erase

To Do List

My friend Haley is leaving for college

in about a week and made

the same thing with a little twist!

Before (or during)

Haley's finished Project!

Since I had the spray paint out I decided

to paint a few picture frames

in the living room. This particularly one

was cream. It looks much better

white matching the b/w pic!

It's amazing what you can do with

a little spay paint!

(especially chalkboard spray paint!)

I did a few other projects

before the day was over

but I will save them for the next post!

They are my favorite!
