Endless possibilities with old windows

I adore old windows. So much that I have 5 repurposed ones in my home. Here are some examples I've done~

This one I made into a chalkboard/calender. I LOVE it! My kids LOVE it! I just added vinyl for the calender and taped it off and spray painted chalk paint for the chalkboard. I added a piece of trim to separate the two.

This window I made into a side table. I used it for a display for awhile in my boutique! We just took old spindles for the legs and supports, and added trim to the window. So fun!


I added vinyl lettering and berries to the old window. I also distressed the wood a bit to give it that look. This is hanging by my front door. Love!


This is an old window/door that I made into our menu board. It's super fun and helps me keep track of the meals for the week!

I've also made the windows into picture frames, memo boards, wreath holders and so much more! What would you do with an old window?

Make it Monday~

I love making my own jewelry. A few months ago I taught how to make Bird nest necklaces for Super saturday. The women and some of the YW loved making them. I made tons for Christmas gifts for my girls to give out too. Here is a great tutorial on how to make them from Sarah Ortega.



For Girls camp this year we did lots of jewelry. The girls loved stamping their own jewelry. If you live by a Harbor Freight their stamps are the best price I've found. I bought most of my supplies off Etsy. So much cheaper that way. Here are some fun ideas~





One more cute idea for DIY jewelry. We made earrings out of lace. I found that the lace on a bolt from hobby lobby worked really well and was super good priced. fleur d elise design has a great tutorial~

Happy Friday everyone! I am so ready for the weekend!

This week I've been making 4 x 6 quiet books for church. So fun and easy and will be so good for church! I thought I'd share a few links to my faves so far...

First simply fresh designs has some really great ones. Only thing is you have to add your own pics. I added pics to the Apostles and Prophets one and Book of Mormon one and it took awhile but so worth it. If you'd like a copy of either one done the first 10 to comment, I'll send you the files with pics.


the idea door has a bunch of great ones. Check them out for sure! One of them you can add a picture of your own family and a temple picture so if you want to do this and aren't sure how I'll help out the first 10 people who comment about needing help with doing this! :)

Here's an example of one of the family pages with my kiddos :)

I'm in the process of creating my own 4 x 6 book that has activities to do as well, so be on the look out!

I also just finished making 4 x 6 books for each of my kids that I'll be giving them for Easter. I went with the theme of 10 things I love about you. I also added a page at the end of something each of their siblings love about them!

Happy Crafting!
