Garden Crafts

I have always wanted a beautiful and enchanting garden, but in Texas, this is very hard to do. I came across a couple of ideas that I knew what make my garden interesting and also enchanting. 

 I have an incredibly old fence that didn't have much character. We planted our garden and didn't have any way to distinguish what we planted and where. I decided to chalk board paint my fence! At first, I didn't know how this would turn out, but let me just say, I am pretty pleased.

This was a really fun sign to make. I am an avid reader and my husband loves XBox gaming. I decided to put the destinations from my books and "Skyrim," is one of our favorite games to play together. This added a touch of enchantment to our garden.

These two things combined made a great garden area! The chalkboard is amazing because every year if I decide to plant something different, all I have to do is spray it off. Note that I did actually paint the "Our Garden," so that would never come off. 

Feel free to use any of these ideas! Message me or leave a comment if you need step by step instructions on any of these fun garden projects.

A Baby Shower to Remember! 

Putting together a baby shower on a budget can be extremely difficult. But, I have found that there are tons of ways to save and create a true baby shower to remember.  My sister-in-law is having a precious baby boy in May and I couldn't help but be all over throwing her a baby shower. Here are some crafts that I made just for the occasion.

Brittany's baby shower theme was one I found at Hobby Lobby. They had some amazingly cute decorations that I used. I made a poster to go above where I sat the favors to match the decor. The favor boxes I added Avery labels that said, "She's Ready to Pop." On the back I used another set of square Avery labels that stated, "Thanks for coming to Brittany's Baby Shower."

What would a baby shower be without a blessing board? I loved making this little craft. 

 "Guess His Birthday!" It is amazing what you can come up with when you know the color scheme to work with. This was a fun project that only cost about $10.00 to make!

 Regular guest books are sometimes a little dull, so having a children's book for the guests to sign was a too cute idea! I found the chalk board for $6.99 at target and made the vase out of a mason jar, ribbon, and glass beads.

 The diaper cake was so much fun to make, but once I finished with the kit I had from Hobby Lobby, I realized this cake needed a lot more cute effects. I wrapped all three layers with chocolate brown and light lime green ribbon. Next, I made a Terracotta pot into a cake stand.

If you want further details on these crafts, feel free to post a comment and I will make step by step instructions for each. God bless and have fun with your baby shower :)
