Back to school decorations!

Can you believe it is already FALL?

I feel like every since I had my 3rd child back in April that I am always running behind.

I have done several projects this summer, but it seems like I never get the chance to post about them.

Even though school started a month ago I still wanted to show my

back to school decor!

So here we go.

There you have it. My back to school decor. I don't have time to discuss each piece, but I would like

to mention a few places I got my stuff from.

The wood connection

Thoughts in Vinyl

Eighteen 25

So even though I am late posting this decor I wanted to show you that I haven't been slacking

with my crafts, I just have been slacking with my posts.

Watermelons, Watermelons, and more Watermelons!!!!

HOOOOO else is loving

with some fun watermelon decor!

Another display in my kitchen!

The mat I found at Walmart, the warmer is from Scentsy, the candlesticks

The Wood Connection!

Seriously that is just a taste of what is exploding around my house right now!
I will try and get my other posts put together for you to see the rest.

More Halloween Crafts!

As I have mentioned time and time again I am in love with The Wood Connection!

Today I would like to show off some of my wooden Halloween Decorations from The Wood Connection. I still have a few more projects, but I just haven't had time to finish them.

Let's get on with the show...

Up first we have my set of 3 bats to go along with my glass word frame.

Next I have these cute little danglers!

Then I have my witch's boot!

Last, but not my least favorite by far is my word WITCH!

I am loving Halloween this year, I just wish I could get all the projects done that are on my list.

I hope everyone else is enjoying this time of year as much as I am.

Halloween Crafts!

I finally had some time to made a few Halloween crafts and I couldn't wait to post them all, instead of one at a time. So here we go.

I featured this cute idea from A Pumpkin and a Princess on Hoo's got talent last week and I had to make one my self. I added a 5 cent sign to mine.

I ordered kits for my friends and I to make Count Down to Candy blocks. These came from How Does She. I love how they turned out!

I also changed my 4 letter frame to BATS for the month of October.
Sorry this isn't the best picture!

I can't wait to finish up all my Halloween crafts! Too bad I have to work!

I am participating in the parties on my sidebar and the new Halloween party at eighteen 25!

Watermelon madness!

I have gone crazy over WATERMELONS!

This month is National Watermelon month and I am loving it!

I don't know why my house has to have a theme each month, but it does! I have gone crazy for WATERMELONS! So, today I would love to share with you my WATERMELON decorations!

I have 10 blocks that I set out each month, so of course this month says...

I have my group of 3 standing Watermelons!

I used the word SEED in my glass frame that gets changed monthly!

Sitting with my glass frame are two slices of watermelon!

I couldn't leave out my candle stand! I switched out my candles and added my watermelon ribbon!

I got my candles from IKEA, the ribbon from Wal Mart, the glass frame from Family Dollar, and all the wood from The Wood Connection!

The best part is I still have more cute WATERMELON crafts to post about!

Stay tuned later in the week to see the rest!

I hope you have a DELICIOUS day!

Vinyl family name frame

I am so so excited about the project I am showing off today!

I have been wanting to get my Etsy store going, so this is what I am starting off with.

I received this stinkin' cute gift when I got married!

My mom owns a vinyl business, so we started making these to sell to people. Our frame is a little different than the one I recieved. Here is one that I just made for a couple that just got married!

I think it turned out darling! I just set up my Etsy account and have these available in black or brown and with or without ribbon.

I will be adding more things to my shop shortly!

I am linking to my favorite parties located on my right hand side bar!

4th of July Crafts Part 1

I thought that my summer vacation would mean that I would have lots of time to craft!

BOY was I wrong, way wrong. It seems like I can't get anything accomplished. So here are some of my 4th of July crafts that I have been working on. Most of them came from the Wood Connection. I love that place!

USA wooden letters with some pizazz!

I know that I am super late posting about this, but oh well!

Here is my June glass frame!

I know I have said it before, but I love this frame!
My favorite part is switching it out for each month!

I hope you are having fun in the sun where ever you are!

How does your garden grow?

First of all I just want to say THANKS to Becky for blog swapping with me yesterday! I LOVE her blog! Also WELCOME to my new followers! I am still trying to find FaBuLoUs fellow bloggers to swap with. If you are interested you can email me or leave a comment with your email address and I will contact you!

On with today's CRAFT!
 
I know you have seen this before, but if you remember right I am changing these out every month with a new word. So for the month of May I debated between MOM with a ♥ at the end or GROW! It was a tough one, but I finally made a decision.

I LOVE how it turned out. I have so much fun making these! That's right I make more than one a month. I make a set for each of the ladies I visit teach and for a few of my AMAZING friends!  The best part is that I get to try different paper and pick my favorite first. Is that being selfish?

Sometimes you need to put yourself before others, I know easier said then done.
