I am up so late! It's 11:45 at night right now and I'm waiting for my hubby to get home from the airport with his momma. She flew into town to go to Disneyland with us tomorrow! My mom is coming as well...which means Paul and I will get to ride adult rides for like the first time since we've had kids! I can't wait! I'm so excited I feel like a kid myself! Anyways...yesterday my momma turned 50! OVER THE HILL! I say that because it makes her mad...haha, but not in a bad way mad, it's my way of joking with her! She had been telling me she wanted another magnet board to hang up all of the pictures I give her of the kiddies (I LOVE having family pics done! I'd do em' every month if I could...haha!). I decided to try make one of those chicken wire frames instead that I have been seeing all over bloggie land!
Here's what you need to make it:
-Picture frame, just the frame (or you could save the backing and cover it with fabric, that would be cute too!)
-Chicken Wire, I bought a 10ft roll at Lowes for $3.50 ish
-Spray Paint
-Staple Gun & Staples
First:
Spray your frame with your spray paint, I used Valspar Satin Finish. I liked the color!
Second:
Once dry, roll out your chicken wire and staple it into place. The excess amount I just twisted in out of fear of cutting wrong pieces and it all comes unraveled!
Third:
Fill it with cute stuff! Before I gave it to my mom I put some random bows to show that this could be a hair bow holder as well as a picture holder!
Then to give it to my mom I redecorated it...she's not into hair clippies with flowers so she probably wouldn't like it how I first had it...plus I don't think Hannity or I want to part with some of those flowers....well me anyways, Hannity quit wearing bows at about 7 months old...it was seriously the saddest day ever for me! Still everyday (She's almost 14 months now) I put a headband on her in hopes she will want to wear it but no luck! I cut out a 50 with my cricut, she said she was taking that off! Haha!
I just used little clothespins for hanging! On some of them I added embellishments. This is my favorite one! The flower is from Stampin' up. I bought the package for making earrings, and had some left.
Here it is finished! We got her a $50 Downeast gift card, a dollar for every year!
Here is my momma! She's pretty great! And she's always guaranteed to have a Tab in her hand...yes they still make that stuff! Haha! Happy Birthday momma! We had her over for dinner then my hubby stayed home and watched the kiddos while we went to the movies and saw Horrible Bosses. That movie was pretty funny, but WARNING: LOTS OF SWEARING! We did laugh so hard though and I almost had a straight up laugh attack on one scene...it was pretty hard to get myself to quit laughing!
After the movie I came home and found out that my hubby got both kids to bed by 8:30...what the heck!? Landon NEVER falls asleep that easy for me! Hannity does...she is the BEST sleeper ever! It was a good thing though because Paul had to study! He is taking Step 2 of his board exams next week! We are really hoping for him to get the Orthopedic Residency, so we need him to do AMAZING on this test! 1 week left to study! We are both so nervous! Wish him/us luck! Anyways, I still have so may posts to catch up on! Hawaii Trip, London/Paris Trip, Michigan Trip, now Disneyland trip, plus many other daily events and tutorials! Stay tuned!
