This weekend was rainy and SO cold!!! I stayed indoors and had fun crafting! Here are two of the projects I worked on:
Our Family Rules Canvas
Rich and I have been talking about coming up with a list of family rules and values for our growing family to abide by in our home. I wanted to find some fun way to display our rules for all to see who visit our home.We are a military family which means we move often. So, our family rules need to be portable. After doing some blog hopping I came across a blog where a woman did a similar project using scrapbook paper, a canvas, paint and Mod Podge. It was my first time using Mod Podge and I loved it! I called Rich and we came up with these family rules. Here is a detailed view of my family rules canvas.

I'm not sure if the picture shows them that well. :)
1.Love the Lord with your heart, mind & soul.
2. Make choices that honor Jesus in all you do!
3. Husband love your wife. Wife respect your husband.
4.Children obey your parents.
4.Children obey your parents.
5. Be nice to your siblings... encourage & believe in them. Share in their joy! Lift them up during their trails.
6. Have a grateful heart. Focus on what you do have & not on what you don't.
7.Value our family & traditions.
8. Pray & Thank God for our family.
9. There is no mine in this house, it's all God's!
Custom Baby Wipe Case
I had some leftover material from another project I am working on for the baby. I decided to make a baby wipe case that Rich won't mind using when he takes little Robert out. Here it is. This was so fun to make I am now making the baby a matching burp cloth and blanket to go with it. :) Supplies
Ribbon I used around the edge.
