About Me

My photo
I am a wife to an awesome husband and a mom to 2 cute kids, 3 & 1. I love finding creative things to try, both with my 3 year old and on my own. It's hard to find time to be crafty between wife and mother duties, but when I find the time... it's a craftiful life! I hope some of the projects I write about will inspire you to have a craftiful life too!

The Countdown is On!

The home stretch is finally here!!  And by that I mean, baby #2 will be here in just a few weeks!  The last couple days/weeks I've been "nesting", apparently this is what pregnant women do just before baby comes.  So, my days have been busy with cleaning and organizing, because I know I will have absolutely no extra time on my hands once baby comes.  But I have managed to complete a few crafty things amongst the cleaning.

One of the projects I decided needed doing was filling the frame in our living room with something other than christmas, it is February after all and the christmas decoration must come down.  I decided to try something different.  I got my cricut out and some vinyl and created some wall art, but because we're renting I didn't want to stick the vinyl onto the wall, so I used the glass and frame and stuck it onto the glass.  I think it turned out really great!  What do you think?
      



I've also been frequenting our new Dollarama store.  And you wouldn't believe how many cheap craft supplies you can get there!  I was looking for something to finish my kitchen and I found these pots for $2 and some greens for $1 each.  Stuck the greens into the pots and there you go... quick and easy plants that don't need watering!  I think it looks fresh and really brightens up the kitchen and an added bonus... the plants will always stay green.  :)



Hope you enjoyed a few more peeks at some of the things I've been working on.
