House to Home Project #1: Mailbox Numbers

This past weekend I was able to do one of my House Projects and a few other things. My first house project was to replace the numbers on our mailbox. These are the numbers that were my inspiration:

Lowes.com

The Husband had some left over wood from a project he had done so used that for my bases. Instead of buying black numbers, I just used some black vinyl I had left over. The paint I also had already as well as the screws to hang them by so this project was free! Free projects are the best. : ) 

Our new mailbox numbers:

I'm wondering now if I should redo our name.... Maybe another day. 

I was also able to get a few more crosses made this weekend, and decided to hang one from our own door! I do believe this one is now my favorite! 

Here are a few other crosses:

This cross above is a bit different. I don't know if you can tell from the picture, but I tried to have the crystals go along the form of the wood grain. 

For my next House Project, I think I'll try tackling our front porch. There are a few gaps in between the wooden pieces so I think I'll try fixing that. 

Oh! Have I told you I'm thinking of painting our hallway?! In stripes!! Big, fat stripes. Our hallway isn't that long so it won't be a drastic change, just adding a little pop of color! Maybe something like this:

But probably not even that many stripes. I'm excited! That may be coming up soon as well!! : ) 

Enjoy!

New Beautiful Shelves!

The Husband got into a clean-up-get-rid-of-some-of-this-clutter mood a week or so ago, and I now have new beautiful green shelves!!

Here's The Husband working hard for me! : ) I wish I would have thought to take a picture of what was in this corner before he started working. It was very cluttered!

Now it's beautiful!

I just love my new green shelves!

Enjoy!

Newest Handmade Crosses

I have finished by first completely handmade wooden crosses!! Except for making the wood, the paper, or the embellishments, I did cut out the cross on my new machine, picked out the paper and wood stain, and arranged the flowers! Yea, I'm pretty proud of myself.... : )

Some of the edges may not be exactly even, but that's all part of it being handmade! This yellow one is definitely becoming my favorite one! I love the rustic country feel to it. Don't you?

Or maybe you like this bright cheery one! I do like this one too. Green has always been my favorite color.

Tell me what you think! I would love to hear your comments. What kind of cross would you like in your home?

Enjoy!

Cricut Cardz Challenge #65

This weekend I made a card for the Cricut Cardz Challenge. The challenge was to make a tall card with any cartridge, colors, or themes. Here's my card:

Thanks for looking! Have a good day!
