Wood Photo Blocks

My daughter Kelsey made these for each of us for Christmas. It was super easy for her to make and I love how each one is different.
This block is me and my daughter Caitlynn. (Caitlynn passed away three years ago)

Braxton is my oldest boy.
Jaden is my youngest.
And this is my hubby with Caitlynn.
Here is a look at them all together. Each unique and I love each one. Kelsey is very creative.

Wooden Candles

I made this candle trio for my Christmas decor using old barn wood. I created a candle template, and then traced the template onto the wood and cut it out. I painted the candles and then glued them to a square base.
I added greenery a bow and a pine cone to the base.
It was super easy to make and love how it turned out.

Have a great weekend!!!

Fall/Halloween Frame

A few years ago I bought these wood pieces on clearance and when I saw this idea, I knew I needed to make me one to use my little wood pieces. Love how it turned out. I got the frame from Wal-Mart for $3.00. I took the glass out and wrapped burlap around cardboard and then put nails in the frame to hang my pieces. The wood pieces didn't come with the wire, so I drilled holes and added the wire.
Here's another variation for fall.
Here is what I have for Halloween. Variation #1
Variation #2

4x4 Pumpkins

My dad has ton of wood mostly 4x4's, 2x4's and pallets. Last time I visited I brought a bunch home with me. Today I want to show you what I did with some of the 4x4's. I made 4x4 pumpkins, they were really easy to make and I think they are super cute.
I took the 4x4 cut 3 different sizes, I then sanded and painted them. I then sanded the edges and then I used wood glue to glue on the stems. I took craft wire and twisted it around the stem and then added raffia. Super quick and easy!

Here is a little sneak peak with them on my porch. I will share my porch with you on Monday. Have a great weekend!

Cabinet Door turned into Table Center Piece

I have had this done for awhile, but forgot to post it. I took an old cabinet door, painted it white, added handles and then mod podge burlap to the middle of the cabinet door. I have it sitting on my kitchen table as a center piece. It was extremely easy and I LOVE the results.
This is what I currently have on it. I still need to add rustic stars to the fireworks, but still loving the look.

Have a great day!

photo blocks

I needed something fun for my new corner shelf so while Caleen was visiting she helped me be brave and use the saw! I cut the blocks from old wood that my father-in-law had, sanded them, painted them, decorated them, and put some photos of my kids on them. I did not glue the pictures on so that I can change the photos!
