Monday Madness – FREE Menu/Weekly Dry Erase Planner with $20.00 Purchase

I thought that maybe this week it would be nice to take a break from the holiday items and feature something that can help you get life planned and organized for the holidays.

  

Maybe you have a totally different life from mine… things are CRAZY at the Archuleta house, (I can’t imagine there is a house with fours kids that isn’t}.  Just trying to keep the kids schedule straight just about makes me insane, there is piano, dance, singing lessons, soccer, and scouts, plus school projects and tests to study for, monthly orthodontist apts., well baby checks.. I think you get the point.  Than on top of it throw in my husband’s ever changing work schedule (he works for Walmart, you can only imagine what that’s like during the holidays) it’s no wonder I’m so scatter brained.  On a normal weekly basis I can barely keep track of it all, but throw holiday activities in there and my brain is fried.  That is why this little baby is a life saver.  How in the world did I EVER live without a weekly planner??  I just don’t know. 

15 Holiday/Super Saturday Craft Ideas Using MDF Shaped Frames

I have to admit most of the ideas below are not mine, but that is one of the reasons the time it takes for me to find good bloggers for guest posts is well worth the effort.  I am continually amazed at the incredibly genius ideas bloggers come up with using our stuff!  Below are fifteen of my favorites, every single one of them would make for a fabulous Super Saturday craft project or just an awsome project to help you waste away an afternoon. ENJOY!



#15. Photo Frame Book Ends from a Turtle’s Life for Me.
If you know anything about me you know I am a sucker for anything with pictures in them.  Combine that with a cute way to display books and I am totally in.



#14. Bathroom Hooks by Bee in Our Bonnet
This is a fun idea because it could go in so many place besides just a bathroom.  Think laundry room, mud room, entry way.  What a cut idea for kids to hang there coats and back packs on…you could even order custom vinyl and put their names on the frames.



#13. Stamped Cork Board by from the Winthorpe Chronicles.
Any time you can take something and make it your own it’s sure to be a hit with the crowd.  I do think on this one if would be fun to offer different holiday stencils and multiple cork boards.  Than people can paint cork boards for every holiday and switch them out.  If you are looking for some cork boards you may want to check out our Organize It Collection, and of course we can custom cut cork for you.  Plus all of our Antiqued Subway Art Plaques vinyl can be ordered as a stencil
