I have this sort of quirky thing about me. Whenever it snows, I have a crazy urge to do some crafty projects. When we woke up to snow last Monday, I knew it was going to be a good run because I hadn't crafted for quite a while. Turns out I was right! As Sydney says (often), "Look at me!"
I first did this star. I had gotten it for Christmas (thanks Mom!) and had been planning to mod podge some scrapbook paper on it, but had never done it. So I went for it. Having never used mod podge before (shocking since I come from a seriously crafting family), I was thrilled with how it turned out. The fumes gave me some temporary clairvoyance and I saw a lot of mod podge in my future!
See... Told you. I saw the idea for these blocks here and had to make them. I LOVE them and just used scraps from the star paper so they all match. sigh. Be sure to check out 10 steps to perfect mod podging and her ABC blocks if you like this project. I'm in love with this site too!
I was thoroughly enjoying my mod podge at this point so I looked around for things to do. This used to be painted plain brown and I'd been bored with it for awhile. Not anymore! Aaron started laughing at this point because I was going nuts with the mod podge!
I was in full project mode by then so I started in on stuff I'd been meaning to do. A pillowcase for Sydney:
A tutu for Sydney (tutorial found here). So adorable.
Back to the mod podge for a bow holder. Something we've been desperately needing but that I was struggling to figure out. I ended up mod podging a scrap of wood , hot gluing some flowers and ribbons on it and putting some sticky wall velcro on the back. Presto Chango! Our bows are all clean and organized! Yay!
Finished this one this morning (a day late, but we had the V-day from you know where, so...)
And last but not least, I grabbed another of those spare cabinet doors (remember our toy box?) and mod podged a new way to show off my kids. So darn cute.

Way to go Dev! I love all the fun stuff you did! I have the bug right now, so much so that I got the paper for our next scrap swap! (in April, I know but the paper was also on sale!) I am going to have to try some of those things!
Oh, I am surprised we didn't use modge podge growing up. It is fun & easy to use though!
Wow when you craft, you seriously craft.
Cute stuff. I love, love, love the star and the blocks.
