Thrifty Thursday

I know I've been MIA for a while...But I'm back! The last couple of weeks have consisted of teaching summer school and reading. Summer school ended last Friday and I've run out of books so I thought I should be productive. What better way than some DIY projects.

 In my last post I showed some of the things I've recently purchased. Those black crates were calling my name. I finally made seat toppers with the help of my wonderful husband! Thanks babe :)

Materials: 5 Black Crates, 5 Animal Print Quilting Squares, 5 Foam Cushions, and Quilters Batting 

The wonderful Mr. McQueen....
Couldn't find his safety glasses so my sunglasses had to do---

After Josh cut the plywood for me, I added the foam and batting then used the staple gun. I probably could of got away with just using the batting, but why not make them extra comfy... 

Does anyone else use their dining room table for DIY projects? My husband thinks I'm crazy.

Finished product! What do you think?



Inspired by Katie over at Queen of the First Grade Jungle....I decided to make some letters for the reading comer of my "future" classroom. I keep telling my husband that when I finally get my own classroom I'll have everything I need----He doesn't exactly believe me and I don't blame him.

Materials: Cardboard Letters, Animal Print Scrapbook Paper, and  Tacky  Spray

Before gluing....

Finished Product!

While I was out and about I decided to stop at Ross before picking up lunch. I can always count on finding something fabulous and inexpensive!
I found this treasure for $11.99. How cute is this....I'm so ready for Fall Decor


I'm also working on a project for my house......I am a huge fan of pallet furniture and accessories. I want to make....well try to make.... a couch, table, and some frames for wall accessories. When I get something finished I'll be sure to post.
