Crafty McCrafts Alot

In January I decided to tackle a family message board made of chalkboard paint.  Then I added initial hooks to hang all our stuff on. So far it has worked out really well!

I have always wanted to do something neat to display family pictures.  We have really tall walls leading down into the basement.  Presto!  My inspiration!  For February, I started my photo wall extravaganza!  I can't wait to add more pictures to it!







March brought P's birthday and the perfect time to make this wonderful birthday wreath.  It took a butt load of balloons, but it was super fun to make.  Making that wreath inspired me to make a wreath for Miss P's door.  So, March was a two-fer!

April held my biggest project yet.  J and I, out of sheer curiosity, peeked under the stairs leading downstairs and saw that underneath the carpet was hardwood!  So, I yanked that puppy up, plucked out every staple, and drug it all to the curb!  I then sanded and cleaned the stairs.  I got one coat of black paint on the stairs.  So this one will be finished in May.

So even though last month's stair project bled over into May, me being the legalist one that I am didn't want May to pass without me starting and finishing a new project.

 Even Miss Watermelon loves it!

June brought another Pinterest project, a bathroom organizer.

July, Reagan and I tackled homemade laundry soap.

August and September I made a Russell wreath. Not sure how much I even like it!  But to Redeem the fact that it took me 2 months to make a silly wreath, I made a BOO door hanger, and a pumpkin centerpiece.

 October I made a Link shield for Max's Halloween costume.

November I painted the bathroom.

December I finally finished the Russell wreath (still don't even know if I like it) and in about 2 hours I started and finished a candy cane wreath. Not bad.
