I love to find old things and give them new life. I'm a sucker for a good before and after, and that's mostly what you'll find on here. I'm not above dumpster diving either :)

Birthday Party Stuff
I forgot to buy a first birthday party hat for my little one this year, so I improvised. I had the package of birthday hats for all the kids and painted one yellow, added the trim and other stuff (all in my craft room--aka laundry room shelves) You'd be surprised what you can come up with!! Also the cupcake tray just seemed to need some height to it so I found an old vase under the kitchen sink and painted it personalized for her and put some decor in it from the girls rooms. Quick and easy last minute decor (and everything always is last minute around here!)

Copycat Painting

I was in the mood to redo the guest bedroom into Jenna's room and on my favorite website, found this butterfly painting. Problem was, it was $170, which I was just not willing to pay. So...I copied it--not exact obviously, just made it similar. The first picture is the inspiration and the second is mine. It cost me about $7 for the canvas, and I already had the paint, and only 3 hours total!

Handprint/Footprint Wall Hangings


I had seen these in Pottery Barn and always wanted some for the kids but didn't want to pay the price. These were Kendall's I did for her when she was about 2. Just bought the 97 cent wood blocks, painted them, put her hands and feet on the stamp pad and stamped onto some scrapbook paper. Super easy and will always have something to remember those little hands and feet by.
Baby Shower Stuff

Easy and cute projects for baby showers or hospital doors! These are really old, the diaper cake in fact was done about 6 years ago, before I even had my first baby. :) My favorite thing to make is diaper wreaths; I do one for everyone I give a shower for . I wish I had more pictures; hopefully someone will have another baby before too long
