Crafty Week-Wall Decoration

This week I am going to show more of my crafty side. The first project I'd like to show is what I did as a wedding present for a friend of mine.

I was looking on other people's blogs and I found something similar to this but I customized it to what my friend likes and what she wanted for her house. She loves the color red and the Fleur DE Li's. So after showing her what I thought of she was ecstatic about the idea and I was happy that I got to give her something unique and something that she'd actually want to hang in her house.


This was everything I used. I found an old sign at the DI for $2.00 and I also found the picture frames at the DI for .75 each. I found the drawer knobs for $2.50 each at Hobby Lobby. Then I bought the spray paint for $4.00 at Wal-Mart. Then of course the photos were just the cost to print them. Since I took them myself.


I mapped out where I wanted the drawer knobs to be before I painted it with pencil and marked the place where the holes needed to be drilled.

I spray painted the wood and the frames

I added the drawer knobs where I had drilled the holes


Here is the finished product! The pictures I took myself and took them of the temple they got married in. This was it would be of sentimental value as well.

Getting Organized

As we budget and get ready for our finances and the next 3 months I realized I needed to get more organized in order for us to have space for all of the extra things we are going to be buying. For example, shampoo, conditioner, toilet paper, and other hygiene products.


My first step was to clean the closet where we keep our medicine, towels, and other electronic items we don't use often. Once I organize this closet I'll have the extra space I need. I took this upon myself to accomplish this task today before I went to the store, plus it kept me preoccupied while I was putting Scout down for his nap. I find that if I am working on my projects while he is crying then it doesn't seem so bad.




Here is the before picture...there really is no organization to it what so ever and everything is pretty much just thrown in there.



After taking everything out and putting it into separate piles i finally have a well organized closet with room to put things.

Time to go stock up!!!
