Some stuff I made





I was going to post this so I could link to my friends craft blog, but I was a day too late. So here it is anyway. These are just some little projects I've done to try and make my house a little prettier. I always try to do my decor on a small budget and use things I already have. I already had this big silver frame I got from big lots a few years ago for $10! The black boxes I got in a set from Robert's like 6 years ago. The shelf is from Ikea for about $11. The matching frames are from Tai Pan at $2.75 each, and the ribbon from Wal-mart for a dollar. The prints in the frame are about $0.57 from costco. The "summer" boxes are the same ones that say Harvest on the back that I used last fall. I got the idea to do the other side a different season from my friend. The utensil holder and rocks were on clearance at Walmart for about 4-5 bucks total (dont look at my ugly utensils). Some of the other pieces were a little more expensive, but sometimes you have to spend a little to get something that completes the decor.

Aquarium

We went to the new Aquarium in Sandy Saturday with Moo and Chris and Maddie! It sure was neat! $9.00 for adults, $7.00 dollars for children and 2 and under are free. Great family outing!
