21 Days to Getting Organized!

Over at A Bowl Full of Lemons, she is having a 21 days to getting organized challenge. Like most people around New Years, I try to set a resolution to get more organized. So, I wanted to join in on this challenge! I've actually started doing some organization in my home, so if something comes up that I've already done, I may skip that day. I'm excited for this challenge, honestly! I would love to be more organized than I am. If you would like to join, too, head on over to A Bowl Full of Lemons and let her know you are joining the challenge!

Christmas Subway Art

 You know how I love subway art! Well, here is my Christmas one!
 I love the swirly tree!

 I ended up putting glitter on the snowflakes to help them stand out more

Sorry the pictures aren't great. I really need to start trying to take the pictures during the day instead of after my daughter goes to bed. :)

Christmas Wreath

I saw this wreath on Tatertots & Jello, and I really wanted to make it! I decided to go with more traditional Christmas colors, so I did the red, green, and added some silver. I started out the way it said, to hot glue the stuff onto the wire form. However, I wasn't as careful as I should have been and when I had a little of it done, I burned my finger pretty bad! The glue dripped down onto my finger. My husband decided the best thing was to put ice on it, and I sat there for 45 min. with ice on my fingers, and they were still throbbing after that. I decided that I was going to wrap the wire form in fabric. I ended up pulling all the stuff off that I had previously glued on.  I then cut some red fabric into strips and wrapped. While I wrapped, I hot glued the fabric down. Then I started the process over. It isn't perfect, but it's good enough for now. :)

Sorry I was a little MIA. My daughter was sick for a little bit, and then I got it. My husband and I celebrated our 3 year anniversary on Dec. 8th! I can't believe we've been married for 3 years! He is wonderful and is pretty good about all my crafting. :)

I was featured!

This post is more of me being a dork! I was blog hopping like I do when my daughter goes down for her nap, and I went to Scraps & Scribbles where I noticed my fall subway art was featured! I was so excited! This was my first time being featured. So, I just wanted to say Thank you to Courtney for featuring me in her post!

Fall Subway Art



I love making subway art! After making the Halloween one, I knew I wanted to make a Fall one. I love how it turned out!




I just had to share this picture. I set it down to try to take a better picture without the glare of the sun, and my daughter had to get up close to it. She tried to peel the turkey off, so I knew I had to get it back on the wall. :)


I seriously cannot believe that Thanksgiving is just a few days away! I don't know where the time has gone!

Fall Wreath

I have been really into making wreaths lately, and here is my Fall/Thanksgiving wreath! It took longer than planned. My daughter has been teething molars lately, so she hasn't been sleeping as well. Nap time hasn't been very long the last little while, but hopefully once they cut, we can get back to crafting more. :)


I am a bit of a dork, but every time I get a new follower, I get super excited! So, I've decided that when I hit 100 followers, I am going to have a giveaway!Not sure what it will be yet, but I'll come up with something.
