Dishwasher Magnet

Ok so I have a "sanitizing" dishwasher, and in my case the dishes have to be at least 80% clean when they go in or everything comes out dirty. Now don't get me wrong I love the fact that I have one, just wish it worked better.


Unless I'm home to tell Aaron or Lindzie ( my 7 yr old) if the dishwasher has been run they just wont touch it. So I decided to make a sign to help them when I'm not home ( I'm hoping this will result in my family helping with THIS chore more).


So I went to Roberts on 2 coupon Tuesday and got some scrapbook paper, I cut a piece of paper that is 4" x 5" this will be the back and we will stick everything on it. I then cut a piece of green paper 2" x 5" and did the same with the black, glue those onto the piece of paper you are using as the back, ( I did it this way so it would be thicker and could stand up to abuse from the boys). 


 I used Mandy's Cricut and cut out my words, "dirty" in green and "clean" in black then used a glue stick to mount it on the opposite color. 


 I took my little sign to JMart (a copy and printing shop, that does a tone of cool stuff) and had it laminated.


When I got it home I took a sticky magnet strip, cut it in half and stuck one piece to the top and the other to the bottom. Now its done and I love it!

Magnetic Picture Frames

YAY! Im the first one! I should get a prize for being the first one... whose going to give me something? No one? Ok, how about I show you my latest?

So as I finished my project for the day and went to go take a picture so that I could post it I realized my camera battery was dead. Ok, fine, Ill go get the other battery. Guess what? Murphy's Law, that one is dead too. I guess my phone camera one will do.
As I was wandering the dollar store yesterday trying to find a treat for the kids back at home, I walked past the "Kitchen Isle". Now I usually dont but for some reason I did and something caught my eye. This.



Ok. It wasnt these EXACT covers but similar to it. A small one and a big one. For $1. Now you're speaking my language!
With a little paper, ribbon, modge podge, and magnets they have now turned into this....


Happy Crafting
