First of the Month Phone Dump :)

Now that there are two little men in my life I keep forgetting things. The most important being my camera!!! So I have been taking a lot more cell phone pics; I mean really how did we survive before cell phone cameras :) In an effort to get the pictures downloaded and organized I thought that on the first of every month I could download my pictures and share them here on blogland!! So get ready for a whole bunch of pictures.

Pinterest Love - Ikea Spice Racks and Menu Frames

I'm back for another week of 

I really like that I am finally getting projects done and not just admiring other peoples work :)

My first project has been in the works for awhile. We tried hanging them several different ways, but Our Little Man Cub in very inventive and managed to pull these awesome spice racks off the wall 3 times! 

That's right these awesome book shelves are spice racks from Ikea! They are exactly what I was looking for to finish off the boys room. I would suggest if you have adventuresome boys like mine to use molly's (I think that's right!), otherwise you will destroy your drywall with bookshelves being pulled off :)

My second project was to help my mom out! She pinned this cute framed menu board and wanted to know if I could help out. Well, I knew this was a job for my Creative Memories Digital Scrapbooking program :) I quickly put together 5 different options ...

 

 

and the winner was .......

If any of you would like a full resolution image of the menu boards just leave me your email and I'll send it your way!!!

Pinterest Love - Card Books

I found this wonderful idea via my Mom!!! I have saved every last Christmas Card I have received since DH and I got married and I wanted a cute way to display them, but not spend hours making something.

These books are perfect!! They are simple and adorable :) I changed them up a little; instead of using rings I used ties and I added some fibers and yarn to make them look fancier. Now I will pack them away in the Christmas decoration box and display them proudly every year!

Introducing ....
