Outlet Covers for the Boys' Room

John was awesome and put in tamper outlets in the boys' room. I had fun making the cover plates using modge podge and fabric to match their room!

Adding some Christmas Trim

I put this together for a gift exchange I had last weekend....We shared some of our homemade syrups and threw in some pancake mix. But to give the gift a little more Christmas cheer, I used some modge-podge to add some Christmas paper to the lids of the jars. I was careful to keep the modge-podge on the lid and not on the jar. It added a lot to the look of the gift and was really quite easy and quick...I just had to wait for it to dry.

Don't you just love what a little modge-podge and paper can do?!?

Wall Construction Pictures

Finally, I got around to getting these done...and my husband was awesome and hung them up for me where I wanted them. I am happy with how they turned out. Yeah, you may have to click on the picture to enlarge it if you really want a close look...but this is what I did:
8 pieces of wood cut 8x10, perfectly cut because my dad did it for me (Thanks Dad!!)
8 sheets of paper
8 pictures, 5x7 printed with sepia so they have a brown effect to match the brown trim I painted on the edges of the boards.

Paint edges of boards, modge podge on paper. Let dry. Sand edges. Modge Podge on Pictures. Let dry. Hang...


My kids were excited that the walls are finally getting decorated :)
