Doggie Dress Up

So the dogs have this little space for there food bowls and it just looks sloppy and yucky, so I decided to make it cute and fun. Not to mention that I don't have kids and am craving something to "dress up"!! And they could care less I"m sure, but it makes me feel better to know they have cute stuff to look @ while they eat!

So here's the before: (how much do you love my burnt orange paint color?!)
I used my Cricut to cut out my babies names. I used cute fire hydrant paper!! Then I used a glue stick to stick them on the wall, I'm sure it won't be pretty getting them off but I used the re-positional kind so... I guess we'll see... That cute picture is not my Lincoln boy but a Picture I found in a magazine! I just cut it out and framed it!!

We already had this cute sign and where Rosco's name was longer then Linc's I decided to put it over Rosco's name. I love that it's tilted a little!
So this is the halfway point, I was going to be done here but it just looked like it still needed a lil something.
SO I decided to make this cute sign to hang. I had gotten this board from the DI a million years ago, and I had these cool doggie stickers and my creative mind just threw this together!! I actually love this better then the other stuff I added to this wall.
And the final product... I am so excited that this turned out so cute!

Mr. Lincoln got a good sniff in and decided he approved!! I didn't get a good pic with there cute matching mustard yellow bowls because they were disgusting and in the dishwasher! Trust me they're cute though!!

Happy Love Day

This "mantle" is one of the best ideas I think I've ever had. We made it out of an old bench. I've been decorating it for every holiday! so fun!! I love my Valentines decor. All the Valentines stuff is new. In the past I never decorated for it because I felt like stuff was only out for like 2 weeks, but this year I decided to be a lil more festive with every major holiday!!

I made the banner today! It's the first banner I've ever made. They are surprisingly easy to make and sooo cute!! I will definitely be making more! Hobby Lobby helped out with the rest! I love that store.
I found the crazy fun red/pink animal print & the red burlap @ Hobby Lobby. I have decided I love making pillows!! the creativity you can put into them is amazing!!
So how cute is this red burlap pillow. I had bought this cute valentines ribbon a few years ago @ Michaels and decided it was perfect for this pillow. I used some of the banner fabric to make the flower and I had that cool white button I'd bought for a different project I never made!!
I'm having a great time making all this Love Day stuff!! I can't wait to make some more!!

And this is where the magic happens!!

This is my craft space!! I love it. I get sooo much done in here. My favorite place to craft is actually the kitchen table but the mister hates me taking over!! As you can see I have a ton of junk!! I find things and think how fun they'd be to use for scrap booking or some other type of craft project!! Of course I forget and end up just collecting things!!
