    Summer Lovin’ watermelon sign

    June 2, 2023 / 0 Comments

    Always having a piece of wood painted comes in handy. Especially when making this Summer Lovin’ watermelon sign. My first piece of advice when crafting is always to have square wood pieces cut, painted and ready to go. This piece is an easy make when you already have pre-painted wood blocks or boards.   There are a lot of free SVG’s you can find online. I look on Pinterest and google. Find an SVG of a Watermelon, which font you want to use and watch a cute sign come together.

    Large Four Foot Christmas tree family sign

    November 20, 2022 / 0 Comments

    This Christmas tree family décor sign was quite the feat to make. My mother fell in love with this phrase and so wanting to surprise her with a fun Christmas gift . As you know by now I love to do things as cheaply as possible! I could have made this into a small sign but Krystal had an old billboard she had acquired on the side of her house. She was kind enough to cut a 4 foot section off of the end of it and since the backing was wood I just used the back of the billboard. If you flip this Christmas tree family sign and look…

    Large Gather Glass Framed Wall Décor

    November 15, 2021 / 0 Comments

    How many times do you see a used frame and pass it up or get rid of it because you have no use for it? This Large Gather Glass Framed Wall Décor is an upcycle! Krystal is the queen of finding treasures and when we both saw this beauty we knew it could be fabulous. Frames can be used in so many ways but this time I fell in love. Sometimes I fall in love with the things we make and it is hard to give them away. Krystal took the frame and cleaned it up then chose to paint it a light teal color. Once she chose the paint…

    Octagon Bee Happy wood Signs

    August 24, 2021 / 0 Comments

    This project is definitely one that is fun for summer! Check out these Bee Happy wood Signs with an Emphasis on the “Bee” part. Bee’s are fun to decorate the home with especially if they are Honey Bee’s. I’ve seen a lot of bee décor pop up over the past few years and thought it would be fun to jump on board. Using any type of wood is fine for this project you will just need a saw to cut the octagon shape. Using any other shape will work too but we think the Octagon was something unique and different. The size of the sign is also up to the…

    Hello Winter metal wall craft

    January 15, 2020 / 0 Comments

    Winter is in full force at my house and the ground is covered in snow! After the holidays I tend to get the “blues” so a few years ago I decided it was time to add some Winter type decor to my home. Of course in the color blue! This Hello Winter metal Wall craft will surprise you at how easy it is and how cheaply it can be made. Last fall we made a Hello Fall one identical to this but instead put Hello Fall and embellished it in fall colors. You can see a more detailed post about it HERE. In the post I just linked to you…

    “This is Us” Large 4 ft. wall home décor sign

    February 21, 2018 / 0 Comments

    Watching the T.V.  series “This is Us” from the beginning of season one has got me hooked! Each week I wait patiently to see what emotional roller coaster that the Pearson family will lead their viewers into next. I find myself comparing this amazing program to my own life and realizing that I too have my own “This is Us” series in my life. Loving the concept of the show and how real some of the characters are to me. It gives me a true reflection into my own life and assists me in realizing that no matter how difficult a circumstance is in my life that there is always good. There is…
