Time is flying like usual and I finally got my {1-page} planning calendar done for this year.
I love this little calendar!
It helps me so much!
I'm a Young Women's leader in our church and we have activities every week so this is a huge help to keep track of the days, weeks and months of things we have to plan.

...so go ahead and find the file below
print as many as you want...
Each year I make or order an ornament with our family picture. This year I decided to try making one with Shrinky Dink plastic.
This stuff is so fun and super easy to use!
You can make just about anything you want... and they are really durable.
I really like how it turned out!... and it should last for a very long time.
So if you don't know how to use Shrinky dink plastic let me show you...
Its really quite fun!
I really like to stay inside and craft when the weather is cold. So here's another sweater I made that I'm very excited to share! It turned out so cute and its so comfy!
There are so many cute shirts out there its so fun to see all the different designs and creative graphics! But I really like to make my own.
I really love this sweater... and I can wear it for the whole cold season... which for us is November through April most years.
It was so easy and fun to make... my youngest keeps saying she needs one too.
I'm thinking I might even need a few more of this same design in different colors of sweatshirt.... and a few different colors of the other design I made (both designs are at the bottom of this post).
Even though we have a really great furnace... I still freeze... even when its 75 in the house. So I found some really cute buffalo plaid blankets to wrap up in... and I just had to get the pillow cases to go with them ;)
They are super soft and wash really well. The sad part is... I don't always get the chance to use them because our girls are always wrapped up in them... they even have their own but they always take mine.
Silly kids!
Halloween is right around the corner and we finally got our Halloween signs finished.
These signs were a pain for me to make. Mostly it was my fault because I used oil based paint which took a lot longer to dry... then I messed up the vinyl the first time so I had to re-do it... and the paint kept pealing off the second sign... so after 3 or 4 tries, I finally declared them done regardless of how they looked.
I do like the way they turned out even with all the mistakes.
I love the sights and smells of this beautiful season!
I love sweaters that are soft, warm and cozy. And I like to make my own so I have a couple to share with you. (I made one for winter but it will be in a later post)
There are so many cute sweaters online and I've bought a couple but its fun to make them too.
Okay so maybe I am borderline obsessed with wood projects...
I just really like to build things...
doesn't everyone? ;)
Building a little wishing well and wheelbarrow for my living room decor has been on my list for a while... probably a year or so...
...and I finally got them done!
These were fun easy projects that didn't take long once I got started. They aren't very big... the whishing well is about 6 inches tall, and the wheelbarrow is about 6 inches long. So not very big but the perfect size for my crate shelves.
The wishing well is cut out of 1/2inch square dowls... with the supports being popsicle sticks. The little tin roof is one of my favorite parts of the wishing well (I bought it at Dollar Tree in the craft section and cut it down to fit)
