Modge Podge Frames

My good friend asked me to help her with her children's rooms.  I am really excited to take on the challenge.  Here is one of the first projects for her 8 year old daughter's room.

I found these wooden frames at the thrift store for .50!  Got some sweet scrapbook paper and some modge podge.

Here is the project:

Step One:

Trace around frame

Step Two:

Cut out

Step Three:

Modge podge the frame

Step Four:

Place the Paper on Frame and press down firmly

Step Five:

Go over the edges with sandpaper to get any extra paper that is hanging over

Step Six:

Modge Podge over the paper that you placed

All Done!  Three frames and 20 minutes later!

Are we too spoiled?

Are we too spoiled? 

I swallowed a BIG piece of humble pie on our trip to Belize last week! 

I thank my Heavenly Father everyday for what I have and try to be sincerely grateful for EVERYTHING I have.  But I like many of us am always thinking, "What else can I do to my house?"  Do I need a BIGGER house?  I don't like this or I don't like that!

Let's just take a moment to think about what we really have...

And what others don't...

A time to be Grateful

Well we are back from our great vacation!  We had a great time! 

I saw and did things that will make a lasting impression on my mind!  I fell very grateful at the moment for the things that I have.  And sad for the times that I take them for grantide.   Here are some of the things that we saw and did.  Thanks for all your great inspirations to me everyday!

Fun Kids Artwork~!

I ran across this picture in my files today and thought that it was kinda fun to share!  I went on a little tour of my sis-in-law's friends house and she had these hanging up on the walls.  She is very artsy!

This is her kids' foot prints on this canvas that she painted and had framed

This one is their hand prints!

She had them hanging right in her main area of her home.  I thought they were great~!
