Antiquing A Trunk and Anthro Bag

I wish I had a trunk so I could make it beautiful like Made It Monday, my CWTS partner, did with a trunk she had. I love the way she antiqued it and added a world map to it for the decopauge theme of Crafting With The Stars last week. See how created this World Traveler Trunk (Inside and Out!)

Made It On Monday has also posted the tutorial on this Anthro knock-off bag. You can see the tutorial HERE or you can enter a giveaway to win it HERE (You need to enter tonight because she is announcing the winner tomorrow.)

Craft Goodies and Well Good!

Let me introduce to you one of my favorite etsy shops, Well Good.

I like this shop so much, I contacted her and asked if I could advertise for her!!! Wendy, who blogs at Craft Goodies, and runs Well Good creates the CUTEST craft kits ever!!!! She comes up with the patterns, cuts the wood and sends it to you and you get the fun of finishing it how you want!!!

.

The best part: the prices are SO INEXPENSIVE!!!! I've seen quite a few craft kit businesses and this, by far, has the most reasonable prices!!!
.

Almost every month, there is a Word of the Month kit and a Block Head kit made out of a 2x4.

.

The next Word of the Month is SPRING! I want this for my house!!! I absolutely love those bird legs!!!

And the Block Head is the cute little bunny! (You can get the flowers too.)

I got this for my kids for their upcoming Valentine's present! It is an unfinished wood sandwich kit to go in their kitchen. There is a cookie kit too! You can find this at Land of Nod or Melissa and Doug...for a much higher price!

I'm also in love with this Bakers Delight Set - A cupcake apron, 6 felt cookies and 4 felt sweet rolls. Or you can by them separately too!

This is one of the February Word of the Months that is still available. Buy it today and have it decorate your home before Valentines.


January's kit is still available too. This Frosty is perfect to last all winter!

I'm so glad there is still this Christmas set listed in her shop! Joy, including the bell, is one of my favorite decorations at my house during December.

And she still has some darling Block Heads left over from the holidays. Buy them now and have them ready for next year! This reindeer is adorable!

The Turkey is what started my love affair with this shop. Isn't he cute? I think there are just a few of these left to buy!

Basically, these wood craft kits are the bomb! The directions are clear and easy and you get to decorate how you want! Super Saturdays, craft clubs, girls' nights out, family weekends, reunions, girls' camps or just for you to do by yourself, Well Good is your shop. She can handle large orders and ships in a timely manner. If you aren't an etsy users, I'm sure if you contact Wendy via her blog, she can help you out!

A Perfect Cars Boy's Room! (From today's Party)

What a cool lamp for a boy's room!!! The lampshade is made to look like a road with cars on it! Super creative!!! See how it was made at Bliss Bloom Blog.

If I had a car lamp, I would also want a car wall for my son's bedroom. The extra radical thing about this car wall is it is magnetic. The cars can move around the room! What a heavenly room for a little guy! See the whole room at Cutesy Crafts!!!

Both of these awesome projects were linked up to today's Whatever Goes Wednesday. See more links!!!

Fun Links!

How do you like some of the fun ideas I found at the party today?

This mustache sipper is an awesome idea for a party or just a silly family dinner! My kids would freak out with excitement if I did this! See it at It's Toile Good!

Painting some trees on a wall can make a huge difference! Don't you love this wall at Girl In Air. This is going to be an awesome bedroom makeover when it is all finished!

Make conversation hearts into rings with While He Was Napping. What a great short-term jewelry accessory!

The thing I love about this shirt is that it is interchangeable. Make It Do or Do Without sewed on snaps so she can take off the holiday message and interchange it for a new holiday! Brilliant!!!
