Button Frames

Hello all! I am home today with a sick little girl, so I am perusing blog land and I came upon this from The Old White Cottage. Using a little spray paint, glue gun and shell buttons, she turned these dollar store frames into something spectacular!!!

Beautiful aren't they? I am going to try it our for myself for holiday presents!!! Enjoy! Go forth and create!

Holiday Trees from Magazines

Hello all! I am already starting to make the holiday trees for the mantle this year! So, I thought I would share how to make them. I can not remember where I first learned this or I would post a reference to them, but I remember it was on a blog! You can Google and find instructions too. Some instructions use two magazines per tree, or they paint them or add glue and glitter after it is made.....it is up to you!
First, grab an old magazine. Here I am using an Eddie Bauer magazine sent here to our home with my MOMS name on it....too weird!

Take the upper right hand corner of the first page and bring it down so that the top edge of the page rest against the binding of the magazine.

Now crease this first fold, carefully. Again, take this page and fold it over until the crease rests against the binding of the magazine. Crease second fold.
Finally fold the triangle (that overlaps the bottom of the magazine) upward so it will be even with the bottom of the magazine, crease it. The first page is finished.


Continue folding & creasing the remaining pages. When the magazine is completely folded glue or tape the front and back pages together.

Enjoy! Hope you all go out and make some of your own! Go forth and create!

St. Jude Trike-A-Thon

Today is the St. Jude Trike-A-Thon at Madelyn's preschool! Go Maddy! Pedal away! You should see all of these little 2, 3, and 4 year olds riding bikes and trikes in circles making "laps" to raise money! The sweet thing is that all of them know that they are riding to help sick kids! Too cute! Hopefully pics to come soon!

I am SOOO excited!

Like I said, I am SO super excited! Look what we are doing this Saturday! My mom used to take me to see Disney on Ice when I was little. Now my mom, my husband and I are taking my 4 year old daughter to see it for the FIRST time. As a matter of fact, this will be the first for anything like this for Madelyn! So, I say again......I am SO excited! I wonder is this for me or for her?
