Hot Lunch Chart

Our girls love to have hot lunch(especially the middle schoolers-its much "cooler")but it gets a little spendy. We have agreed they can choose one day out of the week to have hot lunch, so to keep me prepared I made this chart.

I used a leftover piece of plexi-glass.

Brush on some Mod Podge.

Lay your desired fabric and glue a magnet on the back.

Attach the vinyl. Now just use a dry erase marker to change it from week to week.

Valentine Countdown {#1}

Our kids love Countdowns.

When I found this inspiration & decided to make my own version, I was so excited to make it(and blog it).

With some leftover wood I had, I started with a board that measures 7 "x 11"x 1 1/2". I drilled 14 holes using a 1" wood boring bit. The washer helped as a guide for the hole placement.


I used a dremel to carve the numbers using the vinyl negative.


I painted the wood red then pink. After it was dry, I sanded the whole piece.


I had to paint the numbers brown (the carved #'s didn't work as well as they did in my head). Then on the sticker I added dimension with Glossy Accents.


If you don't want to see the drilled holes you could punch out 1" circles and attach them with glue dots. [I did brown paper for the chocolates that will go there]



These are the ones I did for the kids with vinyl #'s. The pink ones are for the girls and the red one is for our little man. You can buy the vinyl numbers here.


Fill the holes with Hershey kisses/hugs candies.


They get to eat a candy Kiss/Hug as they Countdown the days!

Car Magnet

I love Flowers- I always have to find ways to use them! I was getting gas this morning & thought it was would be cute to have something decorating the door to my gas tank. I measured my gas tank door(Honda van) & got some strong magnetic sheeting(got at a sign making store. Michael's craft store has some but I don't know how strong it is.). With as much as the weather changes in Idaho this will weather nicely! I put my vinyl flower on the magnetic sheeting & using my scissors/box knife to cut around the flower. Pin It
