Introducing MabelStreet

I decided to open up a shop on ETSY.  Mostly to sell my printable parties that I do, but there are also some christmas cards and home decor items.  To introduce y'all to it, I decided to do some Halloween Printables for you!  They are designed to fit in an 8x10 picture frame.  Enjoy!

Infact, my friend Alicia (owner and operator of Alicia States Photography) came and photographed Logan's birthday party for me so I could start listing items!  I'll post pictures of that in a little bit.  Until then....go check out the shop!  Click on the Page at the top labeled Mabel Street and it'll take you right to it!

Scavenger Hunt

I've been seeing some super cute scavenger hunt ideas on Pinterest lately.  Sadly, my kids couldn't do them because every one that I found had to be read.  Since my kids don't read yet, that made it impossible.  So I decided to make my own!  Then I realized that a lot of my friends that had pinned those same hunts had kids that were too little too....so here they are.  They are nothing special, but we are super excited to head out this afternoon and have some fun!

I left a gap on purpose in the picture one.  They get to draw a picture of the coolest thing they see on our walk.  Logan will probably have to use the back since his drawing skills might not be able to keep a picture that small ;)

Kitchen Updating

I got some crazy burst of energy today and decided, "hey, why don't I paint my kitchen cabinets?"  I already have the primer and paint, so really it's just about a little elbow grease....

Next thing I know, my kitchen looks like a bomb went off.  As does the rest of the house.  A couple of unsupervised hours and the kiddos went crazy!!!!  I definitely did not think this through that is for sure.

While I'm waiting for coat 2 of the primer to dry I decided I needed some new art for the kitchen.  I guess new is the wrong word since it currently has nothing.  So I hopped on Pinterest and then google all in search of some cute kitchen printables.  I could not find anything!!!  I was quite frustrated when I decided to just make my own!

I'm printing them off separately.  Each in a 12x12 size.  Then I'll mount them on some white foam core and viola!  Some art in the kitchen!

I know I keep promising pictures of my house.  I will get around to it.  The problem is that I don't have even one room complete.  If you know me, I'm sure that is absolutely no shocker to you!  Since Sean is never around with all the overtime he is working, all I have to do is sit around the house and clean.  Who wants to clean?  Not this girl.  I've decided to complete all the projects I've started.  Hopefully I'll have a picture or 2 of the kitchen by next week sometime...keep your fingers crossed.
