Like most crafty people I have become really into Pinterest. It has brilliant and creative ideas.  Since every once in awhile a girl needs a distraction here are some of the recent projects I have recreated from Pinterest.

Dog Ice Treats

Freeze treats in a container and put outside for your pup to enjoy on a hot day. As you can see it was a big hit with Daisy, she enjoyed it till it was completely gone.

Bookends from Brackets

I have a few old shelves that have become wasted space. When you have a small Saint Paul house every area is an opportunity to use the space more efficiently. I took a few corner brackets for shelves and screwed them into a bookshelf in order to create the perfect spot for my magazine and late night reading.

Shoe Clips

Every girl has more shoes than she needs and I was quickly running out of space for mine. I decided that instead of buying more shoes I would just decorate the ones I had. After a quick trip to Michaels I ended up making roughly 10 sets of shoe clips for under $50.

Home Made Chalkboard

Make your own chalkboard with plywood. I purchased chalk paint, a frame and plywood to make this super easy grocery list chalkboard. Simple spray paint the chalk paint onto plywood and frame. Easy as that!

Share The Love

Two easy projects to create a warming environment in your home.
Take what you need! Spray glue fabric and scrapbook paper to create the sign then glue string with mini-close pins to hang your virtues.
I love you because…. Simply create the design on whatever platform you prefer, print and frame. I glues on a few fabric flowers for an extra touch.
