How-To Tuesday - Memo Holders
as mentioned a few days ago, i planned on showing you how i made these mini memo holders
they are very simple and require only a few items
these also make perfect gifts for teachers, family, friends, neighbors, really, anyone who can hold a pen
the supplies needed:
plastic picture frame 3.5x5 or 4x6 ($.95 at walmart)
fun paper
fun embellishments
ribbon
adhesive
square post-it notes (pack of 4 for $1.95 at walmart)
remove the paper insert, trace onto your pretty paper and insert into the frame
remove the paper insert, trace onto your pretty paper and insert into the frame
next you want to lay all of your embellishments on the frame with the pad of paper to see how you want the placement
once you see how you want it place, add your adhesive and place
i use double sided tape as it has a really great adhesive and won't show through the ribbon like glue would

i also added some glitter to his hat and the strings

My Mother's Day
yesterday was such a wonderful day spent with my family.
the hubs got tickets to the baseball game so after church we headed to camden yards
we had a blast and i ate a lot of sunflower seeds washed down with delish icy cold cola... yup, i sure did!
one thing we love to do as a family to go the baseball games...it's just so much fun.
of course our favorite part is the food vendors...mmmmm....food....
er, where was i? Oh, ya, so we spent the afternoon at the game, then we went to get ice cream.
it's what was for dinner
cause i'm an awesome momma like that :]
then we came home and played outside for a bit
the weather was gorgeous

Quick Mother's Day Gift Ideas
still need something for that special momma? so did i! i was actually ahead of the game this year...but when i went to use my sewing machine for my gifts...the silly things wouldn't work!
Which is really very interesting since i had just used it the day before on a test run and it worked just fine!
but never mind...we move on...or so we try
Which is really very interesting since i had just used it the day before on a test run and it worked just fine!
but never mind...we move on...or so we try
i had to rack my brain and think of something cute, simple, cheap, easy, and fast!
i finally thought of my gift idea last night. in bed. at 11:32pm.
of course normally i would have jumped right up to get started...
ha, who am i kidding. i need my sleep people.
but i did get up first thing this morning and start. or at least would have, if my 5 yr old hadn't been terribly sick.
eventually i did get my gifts started and let me just say that if you start these tonight. after dinner. after a glass {or two} of wine. or whenever you just "get to it". you'll still be done in time to gift them first thing in the a.m
that's how little time these gift ideas take. promise.
ok, pinky promise.

1st up...
these adorable free printable posters
i stumbled upon these last night in my quest for inspiration.
i already had the frames, the ink and the paper.
this definitely met my criteria
cute. simple. cheap {free}. easy. fast.

ka'ching!
next....
i decided to make mini fabric rosette magnets
again, cute. simple. cheap {free}. easy. fast.
i already had the fabric and magnets
3rd...
i needed something cute to put the magnets on
so i decided a magnetic memo/picture frame/recipe board would be nice
and last...
mini memo holders
these are great to keep near the computer, phone, fridge
and they are super simple to make
i finished these in very little time
and promise you can too.
{i'll even have a little tut for you on tuesday to make these. they are perfect for any gift.}
and promise you can too.

Barn Star Makeover
Lately I haven't really had time for crafting, DIY'ing, or upcycling. I've been so busy with end of year activities, new design clients, and family "stuff", that all of my super duper fun ideas have had to be placed on the back burner.
I did get a chance to spray paint something yesterday!

Never mind I was supposed to be spray painting derby cars...
I have had this barn star for a few years now, and while I love the red and the rust, I was ready for it to be new again.
Not a huge deal, but I do love the outcome! It makes me smile to see more color.
