I Love YOU because... (craft)

-
Today in MOPs we made I Love YOU because... frames for our loves :)
(This is mine) 

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
1 PICTURE FRAME
MARKERS OF YOUR COLOR CHOICES
COLORED PAPER OR CARD STOCK
SCISSORS
STICKERS OR OTHER EMBELLISHMENTS (OPTIONAL)
DRY ERASE MARKER
     
We just took a frame from the dollar tree (I chose silver) and took out the card stock border.  Though you could choose to leave it in if you wanted.  Just be prepared to write the Phrase "I love you because..." in the middle of the new colored card stock you are writing on.

Cut a new piece of colored card stock or paper of your choice to make it fit in the frame. Then write "I Love You because..." on a new piece of colored card stock.   Make sure you leave enough space so that you can write the rest of the sentence on later. Stick that piece back into the frame, close it up, and turn it over.

Now you can decorate the frame with stickers if you want or you can leave it like it is.  Mine has a Valentines Day theme.

Lastly get a dry erase marker and write the rest of your sentence!  The best part is that you can change it every day or as often as you like.  Your Love can also write to you on it as well!

If you can't think of anything to get you started here is a LINK to some "I love you because" quotes.

You could also make one for everyone in your household if you wanted to.  I suggest writing their initials on it if you do that.

Mine is currently sitting on top of my dresser :)  Maybe if my husband would buy me a nightstand *HINT HINT* I would finally have somewhere to put it and my Scentsy warmer...

Moldy Bulb Syringe.

  (Photo Circulating the Internet) In High School I babysat twins who often had colds. One day I picked up one of these bulb syringes and black goo poured out all over the little baby's face.  I am so glad I hadn't already stuck it in his nose.  It's a memory that I can still vividly recall, complete with the wave of nausea I felt. I definitely never used that one again, chalking it up to improper cleaning. A few months ago I had seen photos of moldy bulb syringes floating around on Pinterest and Facebook.   I cringed at the thought of someone using the moldy bulb unknowingly on their babies little noses.  I will admit I rolled my eyes a bit and thought, "Well maybe if you cleaned the thing out this wouldn't have happened."   I ALWAYS clean mine out with antibacterial soap, HOT water, and sometimes even alcohol.  Always.  So I NEVER thought in a million years that MY bulb syringe would be nasty and moldy. Today I decided, since my kids nev

Monsters Inc Inspired Ceiling Fan

So...We are expecting baby #3 in November!  Seven years after our last.  These past few months we have been converting our fourth bedroom into a nursery and transferring everything back into the study.   One of the things that I wanted to do was put ceiling fans in my daughters room, her brother already had one that was too small for the space it was cooling.  So we bought two matching ceiling fans and took down the tiny all white ceiling fan to put into the nursery.  Which is by far the smallest bedroom in the house, so it would work perfect. The only issue was that I had never liked the all white fan.  All of our other lighting fixtures are rubbed bronze. I ended up still having a can of Rust-Oleum paint that I had used for another GOLD ceiling fan and some GOLD door knobs from when we first moved in two years ago  ( I DO NOT advise using this for door knobs, they become sticky from all of the oils from hands and chip easily) . I used this to paint the base of

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:   -Paper Lantern -Red Felt -White Foam or White Felt -Green Pipe Cleaners -Plastic Eyes -Hot Glue Gun -Scissors 1. Plug in your hot glue gun. 2. Open up your paper lantern, insert the plastic piece that keeps it open.   I bought mine for $1 at the dollar tree, but I believe they are a seasonal item. 2.  Take a piece of red felt and cut out a mouth.  It doesn't have to be perfect.  Hot glue the mouth on to the paper lantern.  Careful not to get burnt.  I did a few times. 3. Take two green pipe cleaners and cut them about 3/4 of the way down.  Use the longer pieces to bend in half, twisting them together. 4. Glue your plastic eyes to one end of the pipe cleaners.  Let cool. 5. Put a dab of hot glue in the center of the lantern above the mouth where you want the eyes to go.  Add the pipe cleaners with the eyes.  Hold in place until set. 6,  Cut out triangle of various sizes using the white foam or felt.  Chompies have
