Ice Wreaths

This is one of those ideas that I just had to laugh at when I saw it because it is SO CLEVER! I love that people can come up with ideas like this! Such an easy activity that the kids I'm sure would love to participate in. From How Does She?

Ornament Blocks

I wish I would've found these Grandma ideas earlier! Because I love them! Aren't they so cute? These are from this new blog How Does She,-it's a great little site.
And here is another version from Crafting chicks which I also really love

Handprint Ornaments

Look at these super fun ornaments that are a perfect Grandma gift! So easy, so cute...Just what I like! Found on Crafting Chicks

Haha! I love it!

I have never really seen anything like this before but I think it's so fun! I love that it combines two Christmas favorites: Santa and Trees! Thanks Thrifty Decor Chick

Adorable Stocking Holders

I just think this is the GREATEST idea! Jennie over at Cinnabery Suite came up with it and I am in love :) :)

Homemade Stockings

I really do love matching stockings. They look so sharp hung all in a row! Here are some adorable ones from brown paper packages and you won't believe how simple they are to make!!!

Beautiful Picture

I found this picture suddenly as I was browsing new blogs. Isn't it beautiful? I just love the shot and have never seen one like it before. I found it on Deck The Halls Of Home With Joy, and just as she said, "it's simple, but has a lot of meaning!"

Sled Ornament from Popsicle Sticks!

ADORABLE!!! From The CrEaTiVe CraTe. Super easy and super cute. This would be such a fun thing to do with your kids, or a craft group, or super saturday!

Christmas Countdown Blocks

I absolutely ADORE these blocks from Little Birdie Secrets!!! So much that I'm going to make them tomorrow I think. So clever and easy and fun!

Cute as a button

Aren't these some of the CUTEST things you've ever seen! Leave it to Martha.

iPod cover

Another idea for an iPod cover! What's great is that they say you can find these clear plastic covers at dollar stores! REALLY?! Sweet! From Jannypie Crafts

Growth Chart

Love this idea for a growth chart! Room to Inspire got her idea from Pottery Barn Kids which is also incredibly cute.

Cart Coupon Caddy

HOORAY! I am super, super excited about this! I have always had the itch to get into coupon-ing, but I never found a way of organizing it all that would work for me. So, I've never started. I just can't handle the thought of carrying around a huge coupon binder...and a toddler...and a diaper bag...and keep my head on straight. I think, though, that this beauty from My Tiny Sweet Cheeks will do the trick for me. I can't wait to try it out! And see if I can start saving some serious moolah!

Little Tie for a Little Guy

I've got to make one/some of these! Thanks Purl Bee

Chalkboard Frames

I've read about chalk paint all over the place. It really intrigues me! Brown Paper Packages has a simple tutorial here about making chalkboard frames for all sorts of purposes! FUN!

Halloween Fun

I'll be honest: We're not a family that gets super into Halloween. We didn't growing up, and therefore I don't now. In an effort to become more festive though, I've done a few things this year already that have been so fun!

Cute lil' witches hats thanks to Our Best Bites

A fun table centerpiece made by me and a friend

And last but not least my little stinker.

Almost the coolest part about it is that he has two parents that are stinkers too!
Maybe I'll post pictures later...

4 Autumn Beauties

And they're all from who I think is the craft QUEEN: Make it and Love it!
I can't wait to make them ALL!

Romantic Rubik's Cube

Fun, Fun, Fun! From Love, Actually

Debit Cards

this is SO FUN! A personalized debit card specifically for Valentine's Day, but if you wanted to be brave you could come up with your own. (not me :)) Idea was found at a new blog, Jcards


And this one, too leaves it a little bit more open as a "love card". This was found on yet another fun new blog, Love-Actually which I am really, really excited about. It's a whole blog for cheap fun dates! Who doesn't love that?!

Quiet Books Galore!

I REALLY want to make a quiet book. But to be quite honest, I’m chicken. Such a huge project that I’m not sure I dare start. Such projects scare me because I’m never confident that I’ll be completely satisfied with the end result. But, like I said, I REALLY want to make one. So for the time being here are some places to get me excited about actually doing it.

From the Idea Door

Lunch is served

To keep things exciting, this is a great idea to serve stuff up!

Rain Gutter Book Shelves

What a great idea! Apparently these are pretty big right now and I'm loving the idea. Here's a tutorial from Raising Olives for the previous picture.

and this one from Shawn and Frank

Piano Bag

What a fun idea! Don't worry, that's not a keyboard patter that you buy, you actually do it for yourself. For obvious reasons I'm VERY excited about this!! Found on Bored and Crafty

Free parent and teacher resources

This website has MANY fun, FREE things to print off. I haven't had time to really search it, but from what I briefly saw it looks like a great resource...of resources. :) Found via Fun Snacks 4 Kids

Lovely

I saw this picture on Happy Nester and I just think it's the cutest little decorated corner! I can't wait to have a house to decorate! And maybe some money to do it with!

FELT baby booties

Felt? really? Apparently there is such a thing as wool felt. I've never heard of it, but I hope it's softer than regular felt. These are too cute. Thanks again to Martha

Petit Collage

Cute huh? LOVE IT! Thanks Martha

The "Lindie" Bag

So my friends Erin and Shunae taught me how to make these cute bags about a year and a half ago. I have the pattern roughly written down on a scratch piece of paper somewhere. But I found this pattern on Craft Apple which I'm pretty sure is the pattern for the bags, so now I'll easily be able to find it when I get in "the mood" again!

What to do with your kids...

Brassy Apple provides LOTS of fun ideas here

Decorative Balls

I love this! I have the perfect little basket to put them in, too! It's been sitting on my dresser for months just waiting for some pretty little balls to fill it. So fun! From Mrs. D. Lightful

Chalk Paint

Fun idea Skip To My Lou!

Snickerdoodle Muffins and a new blog!

Don't these look so tasty? I found a new blog this morning: The Sisters' Cafe. There were many of their recipes that stood out to me, but this one in particular just made my mouth start to water. YUM! Go check this site out; your husband will appreciate it! :)

Music Bag!!!

YES! YES! YES! I also have experienced the frustration of trying to find the perfect music bag! I think I've found it here at Purl Bee! Now I just have to find the time to make it...

Car Trash Bag

Very smart Ashley from Make it and Love it! Brett will be so excited for me to make one of these!

Flag in a Window

I really, REALLY love this! Alot! I'm a "modern country" girl (at least that's what I found out from the intro to home decor class I took in college) when it comes to home decor and style, so this is right down my alley. Very easy, very cute. The hardest part would probably be to find an old window! Idea is from The Creative Crate via U Create. BEAUTIFUL!

lil pouch

My extremely talented Sister-in-law Julie made me one of these for my birthday a while back and I LOVE IT!! It's perfect to keep the "shopping essentials" in and you throw it or grab it real quick from your (my) huge diaper bag. When the rare occasion presents itself that I go out alone, I easily transfer this to my smaller purse and we're good to go. I love it!!! Tutorial found here from My Spare Time

YUM!

Doesn't this picture just say "delish" to your taste buds?! If it doesn't, I think there's something wrong with you. However, I am a sucker for a good, chocolatey, but not too much chocolate dessert. I have that blasted Bestor sweet tooth to thank for it... This will be the perfect thing for my one day a month "dessert day". Too bad it's 3 weeks away... :(

Found here on Noble Pig

Button Bracelets

oh my goodness...These are simply adorable. I did a post a while back about a similar idea, but this takes the cake!!! I love them! From lilyella via The Creative Crate

Hooded Towel

So I have been wanting to make one of these for a LONG time, but I haven't found one I love. Leave it to Make it and Love it! This is so simple and her tutorials are super easy to follow. I can't wait! And here is another one from Skip to My Lou, without the ears:

Beautiful

I really like these. I'm really getting into fun paper projects . This weekend I made a birthday banner for my son and it turned out cute. These don't even look hard and could be so versatile!!! Found via It's a Girl Thing!
