Label Mania

I hope you had a great weekend! I know I did! Over the weekend my little family loaded up and went to Ikea! We don't live close enough to one that we can just go anytime we want, so we made a mini vacation out of it! Yay!

I love Ikea!  It is amazing! While shopping I found some cute little spice jars! (I foud a lot more stuff but we'll save that for a later time!) After I filled them with the spices.... I started labeling them!   It was actually harder than I expected because the small letters seemed to be a bit tedious.  In the end I'm pretty happy with them! I just need a few more!  You can never have too many spices right?

Fun Fab Frames

After my daughter received a super cute birthday frame from her Mimi for her first birthday(there will be a  few post coming soon about her first birthday extravaganza), I was inspired to make a few of my own.   Here are the first three I have completed. 

This one is just waiting for a photo from our first beach vacation as a family of three, earlier this summer!

This is my favorite one so far! I LOVE this picture of our little angel and her daddy looking at the rhino!

I made this one specifically for Mo's Best Friend Lilly's first birthday! The picture is of their first meeting... the day Lilly was born! How awesome is that?

I can't wait to get started on some more!

Recycling Center Made Easy...

I found these great and inexpensive recycling bins at Ikea a few months ago.  They were exactly what I had been looking for and less than I expected to pay! That doesn't happen very often!

  I had planned to make labels for them using my handy Cricut Express machine.So finally after my husbands request for labels, I did it! My husband usually makes fun of my love for labels.  I knew one day he would learn to love and appreciate them as much as I do!  Well ... he at least can at this point see the occasional benefit!

I think they definitely look cuter!  I also think I'm feeling a labeling addiction coming on!
