Monday Madness – Introducing Our Happy Collection

Clear back in July I was shopping and I came across this cute little hello word. I’m sure you’ve seen it, a cursive chunky hello that only measure about 4” tall and 8-9 wide.  I’ve seen it a couple of places since.  Well that little “Hello” is what sparked the idea for this fun little collection, something we are calling our Happy Collection. 

First there is the word Happy.  A chunky little wood piece that measures 3.5” tall, 1.5” thick and is 8” long.



Than there are the bases.  Once for each holiday.



Are you getting the concept.  Paint one cute Happy word and than switch out the basis for each holiday.  Let me tell you I made one for my house and my kids LOVE it.  It’s funny how as they get older making crafts they enjoy means so much.

Monday Madness – Halloween Count Magnetic Board

Okay so I am sure that Halloween is probably one of the furthest thing from your mind, but I figured hey if Kmart can run Christmas ads than we can have a sale on a Halloween craft right?!  Besides you’ll need sometime to get this one ready for your kids.

This weeks Monday Madness deal is 40% off our new Halloween Count Down Magnetic Board.
Reg. priced at $19.95, sale price {$11.97}  Now isn’t that price worth the smiles on your kids faces!!  Spider magnet is not included (Kim made it by cutting the ring part off of a cheap plastic spider ring and hot gluing it to a button magnet- easy enough right?)

 

Monday Midnight Madness – Farmer’s Market Chalk Board Plaque {DIY Chalk Board Art}

Every year we have one or two projects that are crazy popular, from what I have seen so far these Chalkboard Plaques are the “it” project of 2013.  So if you are looking for a Super Saturday (or any other type of craft event) project I would highly recommend this one, they are easy, inexpensive and a wide variety of holidays to choose from.

This week the deal is "spend $20.00 receive a FREE Farmer’s Market Chalkboard Plaque."

   

Besides the Farmer’s Market we also have a BEWARE Chalkboard Plaque....

Monday Madness – I Hope They Call Me on a Mission

Last week we featured the layered Temple Plaques with the saying, “ I Love to See the Temple”.
 


Well we are not quite done with the layered plaques yet.  This week for the weekly deal we are featuring the new “ I Hope the Call Me on a Mission”, layered Plaque.



This project is super simple to make.  Here’s a real quick run through have how to put it together:

Monday Madness – Chunky Wood Ampersand Sign

Over the past couple of months I have been pouring over fonts and playing around with different ideas for some CHUNKY WOOD LETTERS.  It took Kim and I awhile to figure out what we wanted to do with this project because we wanted to offer something that was different, stylish, trendy and had tons of personality…all while keeping the price down. 

Things are still in their beginning phases, but by fall we hope to have the entire alphabet along with some fun words.  But to get things started we would like to introduce you to this cute Ampersand.  we took this baby to Snap with us and it was a huge hit.





And our USA letters.

The Large Eleanor Shaped Frame

Monday Madness at Midnight – America the Beautiful Chalkboard Print

Seriously it is 11:30 at night and I am just barely finding the time to write the Monday Madness…gosh darn even if it kills me I am going to have this post live before it is Tuesday!

This weeks deal is another one of our popular Chalkboard Plaques.  We CAN NOT keep this baby in stock at the store, hopefully our online shoppers will love it just as much.

 Introducing the America the Beautiful Chalkboard Plaque




As with any of our Chalkboard Plaques you can buy the entire kit (plaque, print and step-by-step instructions) or just the print…or if you have another project in mind you can also purchase just the plaque.

Oh and here's a fun idea for you.  You can also purchase two prints and make the plaque double sided.   Between the price, multiple prints options and the ability to make it double sided…this makes for a perfect Super Saturday craft idea.

Monday Madness – Families Are Forever Vinyl

Ummm yep I am a day late on Monday Madness.  I wish I had some really good excuse, like my son was in a terrible four wheeling accident and was badly hurt (that was two weeks ago), or that my baby scratched his cornea and his eye was red and swollen shut (that was last week).  But to be honest… I am just lame.  Last night I stuck my nose in a book thinking I’ll just read the first chapter and get a feel for the book than I’ll get to work…weeeelllllll I didn’t stop reading until about 3:00 am *yawn*.  It felt so good to get completely absorbed in a story.  It’s been so  long since I have done that.  Between the four kids, a husband, the dog, church callings, running my own business…well you get the picture….there’s not a lot of down time in my life.  I am sure you can relate (:  I have been trying to play catch up ever since!!
Anyway on with the deal.

Monday Morning Madness, Neighbor Gifts

Ready or not the Holidays are upon us.  One of the things that makes the time of year so memorable are the traditions that we repeat year after year.  I know many of you may not agree with me, but one of my favorite traditions is the giving of neighbor gifts.  Who’s with me? You might wonder why I am such a big fan of this tradition.  A couple of reason really. I have fond memories of baking Christmas banana bread (banana bread with chocolate chips and Marciano cherries) with my Mom and making candies with my Day for our neighbors.  I also love seeing what people come up with.  I love the cheesy sayings tied to the dollar store presents just as much as I love the plates full of goodies.  But most of all I love the idea behind a small token of thoughtfulness and the “hey we are friends even if we only talk twice a month because we have too many kids and our lives are crazy” that the neighbor gift represents.

The tricky part about the neighbor gift though is coming up with a cute, creative and inexpensive idea that people will enjoy.  Well that is where we can help!

Some of you may have seen Nikkala from The Crafting Chicks’s cute idea using the mini frames.  Well our collection of neighbor gift possibilities doesn't end there.  Here are Ten of our favorite inexpensive and easy to make craft projects that are perfect for neighbor gifts.  (wondering which one’s Kim and I have actually used . . .I starred them) 

10. Fridge Magnets (sold in sets of three) **

9. 4x6 Eleanor frame with BELIEVE print (the print is reversible with a Valentine print on the back)**

Obviously it was designed to go up (or down) a staircase wall.
