handprints

One of my very first times pinning something, I came across this picture and decided I was pinning it and I WAS going to make it!

Thankfully, on Black Friday, Jo-Ann's had their canvas all 60% off (heck yeah!!) and I got an additional 25% off my purchase, so I brought home a nice large canvas. Amazingly enough, I already had paint on hand (no pun intended!). All I needed was a cooperative little girl.

She LOVED it!!! And was so excited to do it.

I think I actually like how mine turned out better than the original! :) It's hanging at the bottom of the steps and every time Lexi sees it, she says that's MY painting! Proud girl!

Pinterest Craft

Are you on Pinterest? I am....I'm in LOVE. I resisted for awhile because I knew it would be a total time killer! But, in the long run, it saves me time because I'm not emailing myself pictures to keep! Quite a few of my friends are on there, too and so when I needed a housewarming gift for one of them, I started with her Pinterest site! :)

She had this cute little plate that I thought would be super simple...Here's a version that I had pinned from Little Birdie Secrets:

Instead of the Menu, her's said "Notes" at the top. So, since she pinned, it, I followed suit! I found a square plate at Wal Mart, got out my cricut and black vinyl and in a matter of 10 minutes, I was done! I like easy crafts like that!

On the back, I used a circle of velcro to attach a dry erase marker. I wanted to make it so it was hidden, but easily accessible.
