Vinyl on the walls

After using vinyl last year for Christmas and learning how fun and easy it was I really wanted to put vinyl on my walls. But then we put our house up for sale and I figured what's the point now. So I have been waiting to vinyl the walls. Here is the wall before. It's the wall across from the front door. I hung the girls pictures there and yes I know there are terribly outdated...I am working on that.


Here is the after. It was an easy project. Now I am just trying to decide what other quotes and sayings I want on the walls.

A couple finished projects

I put numbers on my countdown blocks. Just in case you wanted to know Block One has numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and Block Two has 0, 1, 2, 6, 7, 8 (use a 6 that can be turned over for a 9)
I used orange and black paper that I all ready had, I had the vinyl and I all ready had the wood. This project cost me $0. I think I do need to add some Halloween stickers though. Some of my paper is a little plain.
Sorry not the best of pictures. Another Free project. I dug up some paint and I had the wood and vinyl. A 2x4 is not very expensive, so if you buy one you will get so many projects out of it. If I were to figure how much this project cost, it would be around 50 cents.

My To Do List

I am finally gettin my craft on again...It has been a long time. I have done a few things here and there, but now that I have more space in our own house I am lovin in. I have some new things to make for the house and some new things for the holidays.
Not sure what I am putting on these yet...probably Autumn, Harvest, Giving Thanks

These will say BOO

Not sure on this one yet

This is my cute Halloween countdown. I just need to put the numbers on it and finish the base.

I have one almost done for Christmas too.

Can you guess what this will be? A growth chart. It will have the line from Dr. Suess's Horton Hears a Who "A person's a person no matter how small"

Can you guess this one? I am putting clips on each one of these and the girls name on each of them. They will be for the girls artwork. They will look like this.

I bought this at Wood Connection last week . I needed more decor on top of my cabinets...I have more in this house.

I bought this at Wood Connection too. I have a board to mount it too. It sits on my kitchen counter.

And I found this Project at Brown Paper Packages and I have to make it too. I have the blocks cut for it I just need to sand them.
I think this should keep me busy for a while...I have a few other things I may be
adding to the list too.
Check out my new blog roll. Those ladies have some cute stuff.
