$1 Craft Makeover

So I picked up this clipboard from the dollar spot in Target a few weeks ago.  

It wasn't cute or anything.  But I knew I could make it look good!  And it was the perfect {small} size for a daily to-do list I've been using.  

So first I spray painted the metal with some ORB {oil rubbed bronze}.  Love that stuff.  

Next, I picked out some scrapbook paper and then measured and cut it out.  Mod Podged it on the clipboard.  After it dried, I did a few layers on Mod Podge on top to protect it. 

Done.

I love the look of the ORB for the clip part versus the shiny metal.

The prfect size!  Fits a half sheet of 8.5 X 11 sized paper.

Small = Cute!

:)

I've been using and lovin' this little clipboard.

And for my fav, the before and after.

Total cost- $1 for the clipboard.

 I had everything else on hand.

Dontcha love when that happens?!

C-A-T-S Cats Cats Cats!

So some of you may know, but we currently live in Kentucky and my hubby is going to medical school {2nd year} at UK {University of Kentucky}.  So we've become UK fans and the our basketball team is in a Final 4 game tonight.   Yay!

So of course we dressed appropriately to cheer on our team.

Aaaaand... this is what we got when we tried to get a picture of Grayson looking and smiling.

 You might not believe me, but every other time I get the camera out, he ALWAYS looks and smiles.  Which is super cute.  But it's also hard to get a candid shot.  I have to be real sneaky.  Grayson does know what to do when you pull out a camera!  I think he was distracted by everything else outside.  We've been mostly inside lately as it's been a little cold.  Anyways, we'll be cheering on UK tonight.  Hopefully they win and then it's the national championship game.  Exciting stuff!

Since you couldn't really see his cute onesie in the other ones, here's a better picture of Gray. 

 He was super tired and about to go to bed, so no smile, but I still love it!

 

Woo-hoo, go Cats!

SUPER Lucky Duck

Yeah.

That's right.

I won again.

2 MORE TIMES!

That's 4 giveaways in under 10 days... Crazy!

I just got 2 emails from Skye at Neathering our Fest.  She had 2 giveaways for her blogiversary and I had won both!  

By the way, she has the cutest blog!  I love the name and the story behind it.  Read it here. :)

The first win was for 2 samples of Basic H2 {A Shaklee cleaning product} and there were 5 winners.

I actually won 3 of the 5! {So technically I just won 4 more times, but it's just 2 things}.  So I won 6 samples of that. I've actually won a sample before from another blog awhile back and so I've used this product.  It works great, it's safe, non-toxic, no fumes, and it's all around good for the environment, kiddos, and cleaning!  It's some great stuff.

And then her other contest was for some super cute pantry decals from Wonderfully Wordy.  Here's of pic of them! {not pictured but included is powdered sugar}

 I can't wait to use these in my pantry and cupboards!

Thank you Skye!!!
