Dinner Organizer DIY

Hey Hey Friends! I know you guys probably have one of these or something similar, but I didn’t lol. Dinnertime has become a struggle in our house. I have no clue what to feed this family of mine. I’ll go grocery shopping and think that I did a good job, to discover, yep we got nothing even after spending $200. Let’s not forget the complaints that may arise with what you made lol. SOOOOOOO, I had bought this chalkboard from Hobby Lobby when it was on clearance and just stuck it in my “surfaces” box for a rainy day project. It may not be raining, but the light bulb did go off…..Dinner Schedule. We all have to contribute at least one day a week to help give ideas for dinner. It is hung on the wall by the table. Anytime they wonder what we are having, it is there. No more MOM what’s for dinner lol. Rule now, is if you do not like what is on the menu, then you are responsible for making your dinner that night and no it can no be a bag of chips or candy bar haha.

Lets Get Started.

Readers Digest Books

DIY Books
DIY Books

I have become obsessed with Readers Digest Books. They are the best books ever to craft with and I do not feel bad repurposing them.

The very first book craft I did was the Christmas Tree book. What I did was go to what I thought was the middle of the book and grabbed a section on the pages to start folding. You will just fold at a diagonal and then cut off the bottom that hangs off the page to make it flush with the bottom of the book. You will just do this until you get the tree the thickness you desire. Then decorate to your liking and style.

Other ideas for you to try ๐Ÿ™‚

  1. Shelf sitters for the holidays (see the 4th of July one above)
  2. Photo Albums -Write your story as you add pictures
  3. Recipe Books
  4. Tissue holder (this one cracked me up. See the above picture. Would be great sitting on your nightstand by your bed).

I would love to know how you plan on using the books and see what you come up with.

Happy Crafty!

Love,

Grapevine Tree

One of the crafters that I follow loves to leave her tree up year round and decorates it to the season. Actually, my daughter does too. After being in aw at Lexi’s tree and then seeing the love for trees the crafting page I follow has, I knew I needed to do something.

Gnome me some luck ๐Ÿ˜Š

I will be honest, Gnomes kinda scare the poo out of me. You know the ones with the eyes that always see to follow you everywhere. And not to mention, always bring me bad luck. Well, here is super cute Gnome that will not stare you down haha. Perfect to add to your Spring/Summer decor and then change out the hats if you wish for the different holidays.
