Bored No-More Jar

Summer is half way over and some days,

 I feel like it's charm has worn off!

These days are usually the stay at home days...

you know, the days mom needs to get going on her to-do list,

but the kids need to be entertained...

ya, the pull your hair out days!

 Well, I think I found a solution that seems to be working...

My adorable Bored No More Jar!

As a bonus, it looks cute sitting next to our summer pictures

 and our bucket list from HERE.

 I embellished it with my papers and stickers from the

Simple Stories Summer Fresh Line

and some burlap ribbon... love that stuff!

 I painted and then covered craft sticks

with paper and modge podge...

Then used a sharpie to write on some cheap,

 easy, no mom required activities!

I just love it cuteness, function,

and fun collide into greatness for my kids!

Summer Bucket List

This idea has been floating my head ever

since I saw the new paper line from

Simple Stories: Summer Fresh. 

It was inspired by two of my favorite past projects...

 my gift bucket and our fall to-do list clipboards...

but this one is my favorite!

The tin bucket is from Hobby Lobby...

I used mt Cricut to cut the vinyl for the title.

I did consider Modge Podge-ing on paper letters or even stickers,

but in the end the vinyl worked great!

 I used scrap ribbon, fabric, and twine to embellish the handle.

At first I did the entire handle and was too much,

 so I did it heavy on one side and

then just a bit on the other... Ahh, much better!

The clothes pins ar made from bamboo...

they have a really nice color to them naturally,

but I had to add stripes of Summer Fresh paper!

On the reverse, I used a red pen to write out

 what we wanted to do this summer.

I also considered running the strips through the printer

 like I did before with the fall clips,

but in the end I liked the handwritten...

kinda relaxed version.

Some of our activities include...

TUBE THE RIVER

TAKE A ROAD TRIP

MAKE LEMONADE

HAVE A WATER BALLOON FIGHT

GO TO THE BEACH

TAKE DADDY TO LUNCH

I have a boredom jar (that will match) in the works...

that will include to the little things we will do more than once!

Be sure to come back and see it!

 I can't seem to make any decor without my fabric flowers! 

The yellow one is made from crape paper...

I just adore the red and yellow!

 The summer fresh line comes with the most adorable tags...

It was hard to choose just one

to dangle from the handle, but I managed!

I have invited a group of girls over for craft night

and we are all going to make one!

You should make one, too!

Big Scrappin' News

Big news here at The Fey House...  If you are a blog reader then you know I have been hosting lots of craft nights, I have started scraping with Project Life, and yes... I have a paper addiction.  To top it all off, like many of us across the country I am desperate for supplies... don't get me wrong We have a small store here in town and even a tiny Hobby Lobby, and the UPS guy knows my thanks to all my Two Peas orders, but between the prices, selection, and the hassle having to shop with not one, but two kids in tow...

I have decided to become a ...

YAY!  I am SO flippin' excited... now don't go roll your eyes, this is no Stampin' up or tiered company where I will have to pressure myself or for my friends to purchase over priced products.  First, there are NO tiers... thus no tears (lol) and the prices are fantastic and the shipping is ... normal!!  If you have ever ordered a product from a catalog company and the total shocks you- because of shipping!  Not here girls.

But best of all. are the products... starting with a very favorite of mine...

Have you bought their paper, yet?  I have... lots of it!  It is so pretty and happy!  Plus, it works great with your Project Live, 365, or Project 12.  Simple Stories is perfect for girls like me who want to capture my family's legacy, but is way too busy to scrap every picture and detail.   These papers and embellies are great at making it easy... I will post more about this on my Scrapping Blog later.

So here is the link to our catalog... wait till you see what pretty products we have at great prices....

(catalog link)

A few of the lines we carry are listed below.... I know what your thinking...

"Dang, you are like a walking Scrapbook Store!"

and Yup, your are right! 

Email me if you would like to make an order...
