I cleaned my craft room today and I admit I have to much stuff. I am crafty so I like to try a variety of new things and am thankful that I have a hubby that enjoys my crafting exploits. He actually likes to get involved as well. He made a crafty sort of purchase that should be arriving soon and I know the kids will be super excited for it when it does arrive. I need to figure out where it is going though when it does show up. 

So as I was cleaning my room and closet (It is my Monica closet as friend likes to call it), I found flip flops that I had purchased on the clearance rack like two years ago and I have always wanted to make a wreath out of them. So when you are crafty and have supplies, one can usually find what one needs to create stuff without going out to buy things. I had everything on hand to create this from my stash. It turned out really cute and it is a heavy one. I had a lot of purple flip flops so I tried as best to spread them out in the wreath. 

The felt flowers were also a clearance find and I just hot glued them on to the wreath as well. It is fun and summery! I bet this wreath cost under 5 bucks in materials when I actually bought the stuff. I think I paid like a quarter for each pair of flip flops and they felt flowers. I see things and always see potential- just need not wait two years!

I printed this custom chore chart out and laminated it for each kid and hung it up on the bulletin board. 

So if they do all there stuff all week, they get rewarded with one mom buck for the daily jobs and one for weekly jobs so for a grand total of 10 mom bucks every week. It is all or nothing so if they blow off doing stuff, no mom bucks. Than they can turn it in for different things. 

Funny thing is my five year old was way more excited about this and vacuumed the whole house. Plus they did a bunch of extra stuff to and got a extra today. I also gave them one freebie to start with as well.

So far it is working. I even created play money to give them. They think it is so cute with my face on them.

I have been wanting a new welcome sign and I have been wanting to try the new rosette technique I had learned when my hand was still splinted. 

I created a template and traced out onto the chalkboard our name using a chalk marker.

I than made my fun burlap rosette and attached it to the front to put on my sign.

Father's day is right around the corner so this week's blog hop is all about CASing out of the Father's Day section of the Occasions catty and I specifically used the cute card on page 40 which used the Work of Art set and the Anchor. 

I used the same idea but used the cute Bug from Let's Get Away (I specifically bought that set for the bug) and used the April Paper Pumpkin set to make this fun card which is my hubby. I also used a variety of oranges like only orange (retired), calypso coral, and tangelo twist. I just went through my stamping spots and used them. 

Here is why:

His vintage '66 bug and yes it has a stache on it!

I love my cricut so much and sometimes I see an idea and I run with it. Yes it is a problem. 

I cut out this cut bike using shiny HTV alone with the cute saying and heat pressed it on. 

I than cut out the cute banner out of fabric and just pinned it on. I think it is so cute and looks so cute in my room.

Here is the plain board. It had some cute stuff on it like the kids daily schedule and the days of the week but I pulled that all off. I hd that on there to stick stuff on days they were due etc. 

I cut a piece of fabric I had in my stash. I picked it up on the clearance rack because I liked it. 

I slowly started tucking it in and I see my spatula from my Cricut. 

Got it ll in and I didn't iron it. It flatten out as I tucked it in. 

Finally added in some cute ribbons around the out side. I can pull the fabric out and the ribbon off when I want to change it out.
