Feeling crafty!

Lately, I have felt that I need to spruce up where we are living and make it feel "homey." Basically I am just trying to make it more Sarah & Ryan's space than my Grandparents'. So I have been reading other blogs and I have found this awesome website that gives me great ideas. Right now, I am working on this one:

I will post pictures later on to show you how they turned out :)

This crafty feeling is rubbing off on my Momma too. She is even getting into the spirit. We found these super cute magnet boards at Pizzaz here in town and absolutely fell in love with them, but not the price. So I searched the internet and found out how to make them. We have the board and picked out the cute paper, we are just waiting to get started. We are having a problem with mod podge bubbling so we are looking into other options. Maybe spray adhesive or elmers glue?

Also, my Grandmother gave Ryan and I an old glass top patio table that they have used in there breakfast room for years, and you can tell that it has been years. So my Mom and I are going to paint the table and recover the seats! Im super excited to get started!
