Funky Red Frame

From: Nanny Goat

Remember how I told you I was on the look-out for another funky frame?

FOUND IT!!!

Uh, Huh... pretty funky.

You know how I love spray paint. This time it's gotta be RED.

A little chalkboard paint in the middle and...

WALAA!

Yes, everybody in the craft-blogging world have been making chalkboards for months now, I know, I know. I'm a little slow on this one but now that I've made one of my own I can understand the obsession.

So easy, so funky.

It's going in my craft room... and when I say craft room I mean the little corner in our loft with a table and a sewing machine on it. ;) (I secretly dream about a craft room with like 7 big funky frames in 7 different colors adorning the walls... yeah .)

p.s. My husband hates it.

Wall Pocket

From: Just a Girl

Everytime I say that, I sing it like “Hot Pockets”. You do too, right? Maybe not. Well, I picked up this little do-hicky at Salvation Army a couple of weeks ago. I’ve been looking for something like this since last fall, but I could never find what I was looking for.

Right now you’re thinking, “Uh…that’s what she was looking for?” It was $1.99, and it had the clean lines I wanted. Plus, it looks great sitting on my washing machine.

I went to my local craft-booking store and bought some labels. These are the ones I did not use. The ones I went with were white with iridescent glitter all over them. I, of course, forgot to take a picture of them. They were only $2.00, though. .1 cent more than the wall pocket cost, mind you.

I used the paint I had from my mudroom cabinets because I like it all matchy matchy. Well, that and it was free.

I simply spray painted the tags from white with glitter to stone—with no glitter. I typed out my kids’ names on some paper, glued the tags on, and stuck the paper inside. Voila!

Conveniently placed at the back door, I will continue to misplace their school papers anyway no longer misplace any important papers or library books during the school year.

Not bad for $3.99, eh?
