Fine Art Gallery ♥

While checking out the blogs that i obsess about I came across yet another very talented and inspiring blogger out there that is all about sharing her ideas and talents! Being featured on Eighteen25 today is Just Another Hang Up!  She has a tutorial about her Art Gallery in her home.  Not your average art gallery and some of you have to be thinking...who in the world has an art gallery in their home that isn't a millionaire!?!  Well this art gallery is for displaying her grandchildrens fine works of art!  I love the idea and plan to find a place to put one in my home.  It's just beautiful, the thought of seeing my babies works of art displayed so importantly brought a tear to my eye!  Yes, I'm an emotional fool. :-)  Anyway you must check it out! Even her method for placing the nails on the wall just perfect was a complete eye opener for me....why have I always struggled with that when the answer seems so easy???

Has anyone out there gotten "BOO'd"?

So my co-worker has informed me that I've been slacking on my blogging...so here goes! 

I have found the cutest idea for Halloween/Fall called "Boo-ing"!  My in-laws do something similar that just kinda started a few years back at Christmas called "candy caneing" and it's been so much fun.  With candy caneing you buy those small candy cane's and then leave them in random places at the other person's house/vehicle/mailbox...etc.  And it's suppose to be secret...not to let the other person know who did it to your house! 

Anyway, back to the spirit of HALLOWEEN!  I have found two blogs that I am addicted to that have provided free downloadable templates for Boo-ing your friends and neighbors! AndersRuff and TomKat Studio!

Halloween-BOO-Printables from AndersRuff is available here! Check out their blog for more goodies too!





Part of my lack in blogging was I had Boo's some people and didn't want to let the cat out of the bag just yet but they have now both figured it out so let the fun begin for everyone else!  HAPPY FALL!

Sock Monkey Party!

I found this sock monkey party featured at Hostess with the Mostess and it was thrown by Shutterbug and the sweet life.  She had some really special touches and she used a party favor of cookies in a jar that was adapted from Bakerella to fit her party theme!

Eighteen25!

The ladies over at eighteen25 are always coming up with something FABULOUS!  They have a free download for all of you busy moms out there that is a MUST have. 


http://eighteen25.blogspot.com/

You can download it and have it printed at home or your local print shop, it's an 11 x 14 print, then you just put that little baby inside a frame and get yourself a dry erase marker and you can update it everyweek!  How clever are they!?!  I never thought of using my dry erase markers on the glass of a frame!
