Please Knock Sign

I was motivated to make this when my baby was very new. The UPS guy not only rang the doorbell once, but several times waking up my just barely asleep baby. Who by the way was not sleeping well at night and I was thrilled to finally be able to lie down and take a nap. I was fuming and wanted to chase this guy down and beat him up but had to tend to my screaming newborn instead. I never did get a nap that day. I'm still upset about it if you can't tell. :)

I took a long break from crafting trying to find a balance with having 3 kids and getting everything done in one day that I needed to. 3 months later, I've pretty much figured it out I'll be posting more.

You might start to notice a theme with my signs. They're usually this barn red color and hung with ribbon. I guess I just like it that way! I do have some plans for my boys' bathroom using different colors and ribbon :) Exciting, I know.

Christmas Stockings and Hanger

Not only are my Christmas Stockings finally finished.... but so is the stocking hanger!
I ended up changing the stocking with the big white ruffle. It looked too out of place. I am proud of my stockings but I am in love with my stocking hanger. I really love how it turned out. Mainly because it was so easy. Much easier than the stockings. I'm still trying to get used to the fact that once this baby is out, we're a family of 5. That's crazy!

Here's a close up.

Countdown Blocks

Okay, I know that there's not 11 days until Christmas... thank goodness. But these sides had the cutest papers and looked best in the picture.

These were super easy to make. I bought a 4 x 4 and a 2 x 4 and had them cut into 4" blocks and the bottom is 8". Then just sand, paint, mod podge the paper on, print the vinyl off and stick it on there.

I was planning on making a bunch of these for gifts for Christmas gifts but I'm on bed rest right now and only managed to make one set. Which I probably shouldn't have done :)

If anyone is interested in making these, I have all of the supplies that you could buy from me. You would need your own paint and mod podge, though. But for the blocks, vinyl, and paper, I would sell this for $8. Let me know if you're interested!

Happy Early Birthday & Christmas To Me!

Is it just me or can you hear angels singing, too?

Ok, so my birthday and Christmas aren't super close but they're here early a few weeks this year. I am so so so excited to have this. And now I can make all of the Christmas presents that I need to, so technically I had to have it early, right?

Once my new projects are done, I'm debating whether to post them or not if they are going to be Christmas presents. I won't say who they're for but then it still kind of ruins the surprise. We'll see.

The best part about this? I got this for almost half the regular price on Amazon!
