Craft Room Update

I was browsing Pinterest for some craft room ideas and found a wood teacup shelf that would be perfect in my craft room.  I happened to have one that was handed down to me from my mother and ended up in the garage last year with no plans of ever entering the house again.   I'm so excited that I found a way to give it new life and save a piece of my families treasures.

Heres what you need:

Sanding paper

Spray Paint Primer

Spray Paint in your favorite color (I used Matte)

Spray Paint Laquer

My original teacup shelf

Lay your project down on a sheet and sand

{don't skip this part- trust me, the paint WILL bubble}

After Sanding, you will spray Primer and let it dry

{I chose quick dry Primer because I'm impatient}

Pretty Paint Time

{Make sure to get all the crevices and underneath the shelf since you will be looking up at it when you hang it}

Time to hang

{Notice all the "Stuff" on my table}

Now I'm all organized

{I put the ribbon on the shelf that I am currently using for orders and projects so it's close by}

I now have more working room for my projects

{and I love the color- it makes me happy to work in this space}

Did you notice there was no sewing machine in the above picture?

This is why?

Ashley was feeling a little unorganized so she made herself a bed organizer to hold her Ipad, remote control and other secret items

{It's fun that we can share our craft love}

So I know you think I look sooooo organized, right?

NOT!

Everything is somewhat organized and labeled in the cabinet but needs more help

It's my next project

So, look around and see what you can find to save, refresh and make new again~

What are you planning to refresh in your house?

Valentines Day Pinterest Finds

I heart Pinterest!  Yes, it's no secret.  I could spend hours pinning away.  I  sound like Dory from the Nemo Movie, "pinning, pinning, pinning".

 { I hope that song is now in your head and out of mine}

Here are some things I'm going to attempt to make this weekend for Valentines Day.  I hope you get some Pinspiration from these great recipes and blog links to make it a beautiful day with your loved ones.

Super Easy Welcome Sign

These are made from Oreo Cakesters {Yay, no baking, shhhhhh}

These shouldn't be too difficult {If you don't sew, you can make them with paper}

I received one of these pie molds for Christmas {Thanks Chantel}

Happy Friday and Happy Pinning!

You can follow my boards by clicking the button at the top of this blog and if you're not pinning and have no clue what I'm talking about, please send me an email and I'll send you an invite (yep, you need an invite- sounds VIP, right?)

Project Life- January

I didn't think we did very much in January, but after printing my pictures at Walgreens; I guess we did.

Ashley was really excited to get started {She's a crafty girl}

I was really excited and forgot that it was all about easy {I pulled down the cutter, stickers, pens}

Completed Project

I have a few more pictures I need to get printed from my phone but 5 scrapbook pages later in 45 minutes isn't bad.  I love how I will have a keepsake of Ashley's handwriting forever.

My hairdresser; JamieLynn told me that you can print pictures right off of your Facebook account at Target.  Have you done that?  I'm soooo trying this for next month.

Chicken Isreali Couscous

Last week I was on a pinning spree, okay -I'm always on a pinning spree but I must have been really hungry because my food board is full.

We were avoiding the big Superbowl Parties this year; A) because my husband had to work and B) Ashley had a sleepover last night and is in melt down mode.  

What to make?  I thought we would have a little nosh while watching the game so the Isreali Couscous, some hot wings, homemade copycat Chili's salsa and some Chicken Nachos were on the menu.  

I found most of these recipes on Pinterest so if you are following me you can find them on my "yummy drink and food" board.  If not, follow me- hehe.

Okay, so I like to follow recipes but I always like to add more than it calls for or change it up a bit.  You can find the inspiration recipe here:

Here is my version:

Cook 1 cup Isreali Couscous according to package instructions.

Chop your kalamata olives { I dont usually measure but I love this little Pampered Chef measuring cup}

I added chopped artichoke hearts since I always have them in the fridge and some blue cheese crumbles.

Now mix 

Add your shredded chicken { I boiled 4 chicken breasts and shredded one and froze the other 3 for 

future recipes}

And here ya go- Delish and lots of leftovers for lunch this week.

Recipe:

• 
  1 cup cooked Israeli Couscous
• 1/4 cup pitted kalamata olives- chopped
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
• 1 tablespoon chopped capers
• 1/4 cup chopped artichoke hearts
• 1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles
• 2 tablespoons extravirgin olive oil 
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 
• 1 shredded chicken breast

What did you make for the big game?
