DIY Chalkboard Medicine Cabinet

To contact us Click HERE




Holy Smokes... a Blog Post? Yes-- finally! I tell you what guys, I have been having a hard time balancing my little act over here! Trying to find the blog/housework balance- so I told myself No writing a blog post UNTIL laundry and chores are done... TADA! Here I am! It feels so nice having the house in order, now if I can keep it that way for a week we will be so good!
So real quick, last week I made these chalkboard kitchen canisters and love them! My mind started wandering like a lost puppy and with a paint brush in hand I found my way into the boys bathroom!
Today I am showing you a quick, fun and easy way to give your plain old ugly medicine cabinet a pop of paint, custom pizazz and heck your kids may just brush their teeth {with that written reminder!}



Supplies:Painters tapeChalkboard PaintPaint BrushChalk Marker


I have found using a magic eraser works great in wiping down the chalk marker when you need to change it up. {wipe gently}

Now what can I paint next?!

Halloween Candy Treats

To contact us Click HERE
This is not exactly the way I wanted to post the candy treats I made, but everyone kept eating them.  The eyeballs and ears are gone and I only had one candy corn sucker left to put in my photo...haha  I even forgot to photograph the peanut butter ball eyeballs....yum yum
Look closely and you can see "brains on a stick".  I stuffed the brains with peanut butter ball ingredients.  The candy corn has heath bar butter brittle.  The bones and witch fingers have a large pretzel as their base.  The eyeballs with blood were really cool, but as I said, they got grabbed and eaten..lol
Each individually wrapped

Quick Out-the-Door Personalized Cards

To contact us Click HERE
Each year I make my World Travelor SIL formal embossed cards with just her name on the card for business.  But, then I throw in those silly, quick cards like below.  The first is simply black and white with just accents on the princess crown.   The second, is colored with copics and just Xerox - ed ten times.  The third is what you make when you drop ink on the card and you don't want to waste the image....haha  I used the adorable Scarlette Cafe from Bugaboo Stamps.
Coloring = 10 minutes, copying and printing a batch of 15 cards = 2 minutes, embossing = 5 minutes and glitter pen on crown took 2 minutes, folding the cards and putting my name on back = 3 minutes.  Start to finish....22 minutes  You may say, "well, that looks like a 22 minute production of 15 cards", but there are those days that "this is all you need" and someone will enjoy it no matter WHAT it looks like...haha
Black and White, with gold glimmer on crown..all cards are embossed.

Colored one, scanned and ran 10 through the printer

This is how you make a card when you drop ink on it and don't want to waste the image.
PS  I merged a public .png princess crown image to Scarlette's head.
