Spray Painted Fan
Last month I posted on my home blog the projects I'd been working on while Bobby was away! Well, my little sister saw the fan I painted and decided to do the same thing. It turned out so cute.... I just had to share!
I love how the Navy looks. It's good to see the different colors and show how you can really diversify your look!
Enjoy!

Season Blocks
I guess I've been on a block binge lately. We are in the midst of building a house and after the framers got done, I ran around picking up all the scraps before they got thrown away.
I saw blocks similar to these on non other then (drum roll please).... Pinterest....! OF COURSE!!! I made one for the Spring and then it was summer, so I used the back for Summer. I had this great idea that you could make a set for every season with just a few blocks. I almost have it to where you only need 7 blocks. That means that you only have to stash 1 away at a time! Yay! I messed up so I have 8 blocks, 2 with a letter on only one side, but I'm sure there is a better way of arranging them to where you only need 7! I'll work on that!
** I'll update with how I made these blocks... I should have thought about that!
They were simple to make and only took a few minutes to put together.
1. Blocks- I had left over blocks and didn't cut them, but you could get a 2x4 and make them certain sizes.
2. Painted my blocks. I used white!
3. After the paint dried (and my dog mauled them) I cut scrap book paper just a smidgen smaller then the block.
4. Stencils and marker in hand, I started making my letters. You can paint the letters (which I've tried and is more time consuming and messy) and do different colors! I choose black and a sharpie.
5. Mod Podge! Just simply paint on the glue on the block, stick the paper and paint it over the top.
6. Dry and Display!
So, here is the 4 seasons of the year!
Oh, and by the way... I cheated and my "W" is and upside down "M"! I think it works though! I'm loving these! Very fun!

4th of July Blocks
Even though it's a few days late, here are the blocks I've made for the 4th. I can use them all summer and year long if I wanted, too! I love being a patriot and love my freedom!
Of course this is something I found on Pinterest, so I have to give credit where credit is due. If you would like to make one, go check it out!
And thanks to my wonderful husband who helped me cut them out!
Have a wonderful July! (my favorite month!! :))
