Projects


I haven't been super motivated to do much in the way of projects and crafts since returning home from Iowa. I have a LONG list of things to make and finally it has hit me, the urge to get somethings done! I made decorative soap for the bathroom last weekend with the Abra.





I saw a magnetic chore chart on a U create and really wanted to make one for Abra. The thing is, I was too cheap to by the $5 sheet of metal at the store when I knew that there could be a cheaper way! Well, after a week of searching, I thought it is going to hang on the refrigerator and that is magnetic, and I really don't want to mess with wood to make it pretty, so why not just use scrapbook paper and contact paper it to the refrigerator! 30 minutes later, project complete. If any of my dear local friends are interested in doing this or similar, I have PLENTY of gems left and tons of paper, so let me know:)

  1. I want a chore chart!!! But mine would be a little different from Abra's- grade papers, clean off desk, etc. Maybe you can show me how to make one. And I can't wait to use your fancy homemade soaps!

  2. That's the thing about stainless appliances...you can't decorate them!

    Our chore chart is taped to the back of the pantry door...so I'd probably have to do the wood/metal thing.
