Re-purposing Empty Drawers

I have had these drawer collecting dust since I removed the spare bed out of my daughters room about a year ago. She had two beds that had storage drawers under the mattress. Since she no longer need two beds in her room, we decided to remove one. 


The frame was broken down and put into the attic but I didn't want to put the drawers up there too. I figured I could use them for extra storage in my bedroom. I ended up putting two under my bed.  One held a few pairs of shoes and the other papers, books and my laptop cords. The last one, I slid into the bottom of my closet and it held a bunch of odds and ends. They worked out great. 


Over the last few months, I have been organizing my craft area (which is in my bedroom). With all the things that I trashed or got rid of, it cleared up a lot of space. So much that the items that were in the three drawers were giving new homes else where. So now I was stuck with three empty drawers and no place to put them. I racked my brain to find them a new home. I still could not bring myself to putting them in the attic. Finally I had an idea....

Lollipop Bloom

So my new favorite website is Pinterest.  I find myself there all the time. It's a wonderful place to get ideas for almost anything you can think of. Some people are just so creative; I love it! Pinterest is where I find the idea to create this adorable flower bloom for my play-mom's birthday! 

She's Here! My Great Niece is here!

Frog Frame for Baby

One of my best friends is having her first baby in August. For her baby shower, I wanted to hand make her something special. Something that could be treasured for a long time. Something personalized,  just for her new baby boy. An idea came to me as I was walking through Micheal's, one of my favorite craft stores. While stumbling through the wood working aisle, I saw this "Do It Yourself" picture frame and thought, "PERFECT, I will make her a frame to put the baby's picture in over the years.
