I was attempting to get this post out sooner to give teacher gift ideas, but I still think this would be a great gift for 'teacher mommy' if any dads out there want to give their wife a Valentine's Day surprise from the kids! The kids all loved making these! We got buckets, plants & dirt from Home Depot. Raffia was left over from Christmas wrapping. I wrote on the front with a paint marker & used a chalkboard sticker with chalk marker on the back to label the name of each plant.

Boys loved it too!

These were easy to make! We got some glue dots to attach Legos (we had plenty of extra ones hidden in the living room rug) & printed out some cute sayings on red card stock. Each child wrote their names on the back. So fun!

It already feels like spring here in Texas & I was inspired by the wonderful weather to create some floral arrangements for The Teal Door, so off to Hobby Lobby I went...

I loved arranging all of these beautiful flowers in vases from estate sales, Hobby Lobby & Ikea.

This is an antique bread pan that I picked up at an antique sale last weekend.

Picked up these mason jars 80% off at Hobby Lobby & hot glued some burlap ribbon on them to add a little extra color and texture.

What a great centerpiece! Love this pop of yellow!

Hope a few of these inspire you to try a few arrangements for your own home! You can also follow us on Facebook to get notifications of future blogs!

Happy planting! ~T

We had some pallet pieces left over from the mug holder project so I drew up a simple 'towel hook' design for my husband to craft up for me but when I organized my closet a few days later, I knew this piece would work even better has a necklace hook. The little ones had a lot of fun helping me hang all my necklaces! This was another simple project that makes me smile everytime I walk into my closet because I know it was crafted with love. Knobs are from Hobby Lobby.

This is a quick and easy DIY project that takes less than 30 minutes & adds wonderful texture & elegance to any space.
Materials:
-one bag of moss
-wooden letter
-rope
-glue gun & glue sticks
I purchased all of my supplies at Michael's Craft Store for around $12-15.

I found an old piece of cardboard my kids had colored on & put it down because the moss makes a pretty big mess.

I applied the glue directly to the moss and pressed it onto the wooden letter. I did the entire face of the letter first. I then applied thin strips of glue to the sides of the letter and pressed the thinner strips of moss around the edges about an inch at a time.

Cut some rope and hang it up! I hung it between two curtains where there's always that odd blank space & it really draws your eye to the entire wall now!

Happy crafting!
