"Peeding" the Duckies

Last weekend we had some awesome weather and my mom had some stale bread.  Of course we had no choice but to go feed the ducks in the river bottom.  I took my nephew and he told everyone that passed us that we were "peeding the duckies in the river."

What a stud!  

Crafts from a 4 day weekend!

Ok, truth be told, I didn't do much crafting.  But here are a couple projects that I finished over the long weekend.


Zeda's dog treat jar started as this $5 jar from Ikea.

And then I taped out a good size rectangle and painted the inside with chalkboard spray paint.

And then I cut a vinyl frame on the cricut to go around the chalkboard.

Looks pretty good, right?

The second craft I finished was a 9x13 pan my mom found on clearance at Walmart.

I think the fancy edges are awesome, so I didn't want anyone to steal it.

So, we used some glass etching cream and put my name in it!  I know, not a difficult craft, but I think it looks pretty cute!

I love clearance!

Yesterday I followed my mom to Hancock Fabric.  I'm glad I did because I found this in the clearance section.

Sorry for the blurriness, it's a cell phone picture.  But, this awesome tree was regularly $39.99 and I got it for $3.99!  I'm excited to have more decoration next Christmas! 
Anyway, while I was there I got some supplies to fix the St. Patty's Day wreath I'm working on.  I will probably post that up tomorrow so you can see the improvement!

St. Patrick's Day Wreath

I wanted to get a head start on my St. Patrick's Day decorations since I failed at getting anything done for Valentines, so I dropped by the dollar store.  They don't have much out yet, but I got two scarves, 12 shamrocks, and 1 ugly wooden wreath.  Here's how it turned out.  I don't love it-I'm not even sure I like it- but it is a start.

Hair Hair Hair

Let it be known that my husband has too much hair.  Let it also be known that I really hate paying to have his hair cut when he doesn't really care what it looks like.  
So, I try to cut it for him.  This is an itchy, annoying and frustrating project.  After the 5,972nd failure, I've decided to suck it up and pay someone next time.

Poor shorn sheep.
