Crafty Week

I visited my friend Karin this week and was at awe with the cardboard Vikings ships she had made. She got the idea from a friends website (http://ikatbag.blogspot.com/2010/01/narnia-and-north.html). Very cool website of a stay at home mom who is incredibly creative and crafty. Anyway, I borrowed some cardboard and away I went. I did need a project for my procrastinating anyway. So, below is Mikayla's ship. In the first picture you can see the wheel, it can really turn. There really is nothing you cannot make with a glue gun and cardboard.




Next, I wanted to make my sister a Valentine's wreath. I haven't mailed it yet, so I'm hoping that she isn't a regular reader. Tee hee!


And finally, I have wanted a toy box since Christmas for our growing Thomas the train collection. It wasn't in the budget and I had found a good sturdy box that was the right size. So, I used some leftover white contact paper and made one. I'm looking for some Thomas the Train wallpaper stickers to apply to it for a final touch.



Oh, I had to post this next picture. I'm trying to help more folks out there with organizing. I was at a friends house this week giving her some ideas (per her request). I saw a similar closet space as ours and came up with an idea to organize dress up clothes. I've wanted a better way to be able to see all the clothes at once without having to dump out the whole box. (Kristin, I'm really liking it. I still think it's funny that I took my own idea for you!)
