Another Pinterest

I love this sight!

I saw two different ideas on Pinterest, one was a calendar with the word blessed over it and the other was boards painted with clips applied for kids art work, here they are..

and here is what i came up with









I really  needed a new calendar, so when I got a gift card to Hobby Lobby, I jumped at the chance to do this.   Lets start at the top and work our way down. 

The letters are just wooden letters, with scrap paper modge podged to it. 

The calendar, is a picture frame  16x20.    On the inside of the glass I did the grid with a permanent black marker.  This I found to be the hardest part, and Scott helped me to measure it and figure out the measurements, to make it center, it helps to have a husband who teaches math.  (it is very slightly off though, this i don't think was his fault though.   

The wood was a piece I had.  It sat on the top of my dresser but had been taken off and was hidden in my closet.  For clips I used clothes pins, and also modgepodged  scrap paper on them.


there you go.  pretty easy. 

of course though, as only can happen at my house, I am now missing the letter L.  this is what happened when you don't attach them to the wall fast enough.  (i do have another L, just need the scrap paper to finish it)

Pinterest

I added a button on the side of my blog.  It is for Pinterest.  I love this site.  Someone described it as a Visual bookmark site.  Essentially the idea is that you can pin pictures of things you like, crafts, foods, or pretty much whatever you want onto boards.  The pictures are links to the original site.

So for example on pintrest I found a link for these cute book holders.








that someone else had pinned.  The link had instructions on how to make it.  So I did.



I have pinned things that I have found on blogs, or recipes from recipe sites.  When you click the pin it button it gives you a choice of the pictures that are on that site/page to use.

Just trust me if you haven't looked at it, I would go take a look... But be warned it is addicting.
