5 Things I Wish I Had Space to Craft

Something fun for Nice to Tweet you Thursday!


Ever see some great crafts and say "man, I wish I had a place to put something like that"?  I do all the time.  Here are my 5 favorites that I wish I had the space for:

5: Making my own chalkboard paint to make a chalkboard wall.  How cool would this be in a play area?

 4: A nifty rug. I'd love to make my own personalized rug for each room to match the personality of each room.  There just isn't space for it.  But they sure are cute.

3: Painted upholstery furnitire.  It sounds weird but looks really cool.  What a great conversation piece.

 
2: Floor cushions.  I swear I would cover the floor in these.  They would also be perfect for a play area because they are good for sitting, climbing and jumping on.

1: Re-purposed play kitchen.   This is so amazingly awesome and I really want to make one for Garrett.

A blog hop to kick off the weekend

Hoping everyone is having a lovely weekend.

Blog it Forward Tuesday

Introducing Blog It Forward Tuesday!  A blog hop and giveaway linky hosted by Just Married with Coupons and Sweep Tight.
The concept of this blog hop is the same as any other – to meet new bloggers and gain more followers.  But, what if we took it a step further?
The idea of the Blog It Forward theme is to not only gain more followers, but also do something a little extra for each other (pay it forward).
Instead of just following each blog, take an extra minute to do a little more.  Some examples could be…referring them to your facebook friends, tweet about them, stumble a post, add their giveaway to a linky…get creative.  We all know how busy us bloggers can be, so little things like this are really appreciated! Here are the simple rules:

1. Follow both hosts – Just Married with Coupons and Sweep Tight – via Google Friend Connect.  Make sure you leave a comment and we will follow back.
2. We would love it if you could grab our button to spread the word!  The more people who know, the more fun!
3. Follow any other blogs that may interest you.
4. Blog it forward!  Just one random act of niceness to another blogger can go a long way.  If you get a second, give it a try!
5. Don't forget to add your giveaways to the second linky, too!

The linkys will open every Monday at 7:00pm CST.  You only need to add your link to one linky for it to show up on all participating blogs.

Mom Pledge Blog Hop

 Here I am. A crafting mom of a very energetic toddler.  I don't parent like everyone else.  I always figured no 2 people parented the same way.  There are some things that are just different.  Sadly I learned that online this meant I was somehow a horrible parent. 
This is one of the reasons the Mom Pledge was so important to me.  I've experienced first hand how cruel other mothers can be when they disagree with you.  Instead of suggestions their have been put downs.  And rumors...the latest rumor they floated was that my son had cancer.  Can you imagine getting messages from people saying they were sorry my son had cancer?  I'm even more disturbed that someone would start a sick rumor like that.  Garrett is fine, aside from some croup right now

So I'll keep on crafting and loving my son.  Ben and I will parent to the best of our ability.  We understand every parent is different and that isn't a bad thing.  If you're doing your best as a parent than you are the best parent for your child.

Blog Hop

I decided with my Free and Cheap Friday series I should join the Frugal Friday Blog Hop
