I have six kiddos that rule my world. I mean that in every since of the word "rule". They are my alarm clock in the morning and my need for down time before bed. The are my source of frustration and pure joy. My husband and I joke that we are outnumbered and live each day hoping they don't figure that out. We get "I don't know how you do it" A LOT. And some days we don't even know. Caffeine is my crutch most days. In the morning it is tea (never got into the taste of coffee) and in the afternoon it is Dr. Pepper. I'm not a morning person normally and its the only way I function, especially after the nights when one of the kids turns nocturnal. I personally enjoy a cute mug to drink my tea out of (one of my girlie moments) and on a morning after a rough night some inspiration is needed. So... the morning goes like this... Take a drink, read the cup, take a drink, read the cup, take a drink, and sigh and realize- "I got this." Then repeat as needed through out the day. Might need to put this quote on my Dr. Pepper cup for my afternoon caffeine fix. :)

During Christmas we were trying to think of ideas for teacher gifts. I kept seeing some really good quotes online that I thought if I was still teaching I would put this in my classroom. Light bulb! So, after help from the kiddos to narrow down the choices of quotes we came up with these. It helped that one of the schools' motto for the year is "Don't Forget to be Awesome," so we had to have a few quotes with awesome in there. Using small canvases from Hobby Lobby we applied the vinyl decals. I also bought little paint easels for the teachers to display their canvas quotes. In the end the gifts looked like this. I have started putting these quotes in my Etsy shop. Visit my shop today or send me a message if you would like one of these quotes.
"Life is short, Let's Walk." Here is a fun reminder from your furry friend that you need to stop and get some fresh air and exercise. Here is how I created the dog leash hook you see above. I used a scrap piece of wood left over from another project (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, is my motto.) I sanded it and stained it Kona (dark color of wood stain). Applied the vinyl decal to one side leaving room for my hook. Then I added a saw-tooth picture hanger to the back so it can be hung on the wall. At the end I added the double hook to hold the dog leash. It is a cute and easy to make storage idea. You can get the same basic look with just a decal and a hook applied to a bare wall. Don't want it on the walls, but you have a container- the vinyl decal will work there too. As always so many ideas!! Here are a few of the decal ideas I have- Check out my Etsy shop for the pre-made board or for the vinyl decals. I also do custom orders so let me know how I can help you.
I've mentioned how I order some of my designs from My Vinyl Designer. Well here are a few of their designs I have. Any of these or a part of these can be made into a decal. I can also make a decal that you can use as a stencil to paint, etch, etc. to create that look you want.
I have one little girl in the midst of a bunch of boys. She enjoys being just one of the boys, but she also loves the fact that she is the only princess in the house. I created a few things just for her that I'm sure your princess would love too. Here is a picture of the decal "What the Princess will be wearing." on her closet door. I hung a hook underneath to put her clothes on. She enjoys hanging her clothes on it to get ready for the next day.
