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.

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!
