Welcome!

Ever since I can remember I have always had a passion in making crafty things and doing small projects. It is something I truly enjoy and I always feel a great sense of accomplishment when I finish a project. After blog-hopping to so many different crafty blogs, I have been inspired to start my own. I want to inspire myself to make more handmade things as well as others. Whenever I am blog-hopping, I always see the cutest projects that I could make, but by the time I have some extra time I forget those projects and never end up making anything. So this blog is going to be dedicated to posting projects that I have found that I would like to make as well as my own projects. I am excited to start this blog and I hope that I can inspire people as well as myself to make something handmade!!

White Board/Cork Board

So I found this old ugly picture with a great frame at the DI the other day, and I was going to use it as a bow holder. However, my husband had other plans! He wanted a huge white board and cork board to put in the kitchen. I told him there was no way we were nailing an ugly white board to the wall and so we turned this old ugly picture into a a beautiful white board and cork board. I love it! It took a little work but we got it done!!! Here is the before:

We first spray painted the frame with black matte spray paint

For the white board we bought the biggest white board we could find at Target and the cork we bought at Robert's by the roll we bought 2 24" rolls but only needed one. We used the original picture to attach the white board and cork board board with the glue "E 6000" From there i was in charge of the embellishments and then it was done!

I finished it off with a huge daisy and some decorative tape. I used my Cricut Machine to cut out the "Notes" and the numbers with black vinyl.

We decided to keep it more on the simple side because it is mostly going to be used by Brandon to work out those hard engineering math problems!!! I loved how it turned out! Let me know what you think!

They are so useful so why not have a case that is adorable too? So stay tuned.....because I am going to make one of these!!

I have found a really cute idea for a new bow holder!!! This project was done by Nannygoat and I thought it was super cute and it can be done for cheap!! I think this will be a great idea to hold all of the bows that we are selling at Sweet Something's .
