Emee's valentines

Scrolling on Pinterest one day my daughter pointed out a butterfly clothespin valentine and she decided that is what she wanted to make ! It took us about half an hour to make them all and she was so proud to give them away !

I have been away for some time and I really miss blogging. A lot has happened in the last 8 months but I am at a place now where I can have a little time for me.
 My husband and I are going through a life change , I have been trying to loose weight for about a year and a half. My husband is not overweight but wants to build muscle and I'm so happy to have him join me. I started my weight loss journey in 2011, I lost 6 lbs that year. Last year I worked harder in the first part of the year and got down 30 lbs but with all the stress of life and me loosing time for me I gained 16 back. Now that I am back on track I am already loosing weight and its only 10 days in to the new year!! I am so happy to have a partner to help me along the way. We will check in and show our progress.
I also would like to get back in to tutorials I had so much fun doing them before! I have a few lined up already.
So glad to be back. Mj

Glittered Magazine Holder

I have tons of magazines. I subscribe to fitness, Martha Stewart Living and romantic homes, so I have piles of magazines all over the place. We also moved out of the office since my brother in law moved in so I don't have a permanent desk yet.  I needed a spot for all my magazines that was not an eye sore and would help to keep them nice. Pouring a bowl of cereal for the kids one day it hit me.



Supplies : 
Cereal boxes.varying sizes. (empty)
Trader Joe's bag
Spray adhesive (under $4 at walmart)
Glitter
Scissors
Newspaper








Step 1- diss assemble tj's bag, (Tutorial will be up in a few days I know it seems backwards but i though of it backwards too) remove tops of cereal box and cut sides and back of box. Roughly measure the length of tj's bag you will need, cut off any excess.




Step 2- Starting on the short skinny side of the cereal box spray adhesive on box and bag. Apply bag printed side in to box. (follow directions for spray adhesive for permanent application)  Continue on the other 3 sides. When you get back to first side fold the end so it lays flat and looks clean.






Step 3- Cut any pieces on the bottom that might have over lapped the bottom.  Spray the top edge of all opened edges of the box and fold ends down clean.




Step  4- Set up a spray and glitter station. One side with newspaper and spray, the other side with glitter and paper (so you can pour glitter back in to jar.) Apply in same order spray with adhesive on one side of the station , then quickly apply glitter and shake off excess. Continue this process until you have enough glitter. (as if that is possible)




Ta-da!!! I chose to apply the glitter in different patterns to organize the magazines. I also accidentally put one on printed side out, but it worked out ! That bin is for food magazines!! Glitter is Romantic right??
