Children's Responsibility Checklists:

Okay, so I was nosing around
over at Pickup Some Creativity
and I saw this. 
I love that the kids helped out in the making
of them and each checklist
was specific to the childs ability. 

Very cute!

Cute & Frugal Organization:

I saw this at Pickup Some Creativity
and thought it would be a great idea
for an office
or a childs study area.

A great way to decorate
and embellish your space when you have
a budget of about $0.  :-)
See the step-by-step tutorial here.

Great frugal decor:

I saw this wonderful idea at Sew Totally Smitten.
This is perfect for someone
with a decor budgt of $0! (me)
:-)

Back-To-School flowers:

This is so cute and perfect if you need a teacher gift! 
Check it out here.

Modge Podged file cabinet:

If you follow The CSI Project at all
then you might have noticed this project this past week. 
I always thought that these file cabinets were so blah. 
This is a great idea that I may have to use.
Sew Woodsy shows you how step-by-step:

Pretty Pottery Barn knock-off:

A few years ago I began refurbishing
old, brassy, ugly chandeliers
and turning them into this:

I'm adding a few things to this for a special friend
and her new baby.
These look GREAT in a nursery
and they give off great light.
I sell mine at local stores for about $60-$70 each.
You can get one at Pottery Barn for about $150-$180
I re-wire, re-paint and bling 'em out.  I love to do them.

Awesome Fall Pennant:

We recently had our daughter
Autumn's 3rd birthday party. 
I have a pennant banner made of fabric
that I put up every year. 
I like it so much that I was just thinking
I should make one for fall. 
I saw this today from a new blog (new-to-me)
I discovered
Land of the Misfit Toys. 
(I love the name).

Michelle's pennant is actually made for outdoor use. 

Check it out!

Here is another banner creation

from Michelle at Land of the Misfit Toys.

Here's another I found from Creative Passage:

Very creative. 

This gives me lots of ideas and motiviation. :-)
