Pantry Door Makeover

 I finally got my Silhouette that I won from Skip to my Lou  giveaway! 
I still can't believe I won! Yeah!
Since I  am so new at  the awesome Silhouette world, I decided to start doing something easy.
I always wanted to have a menu/grocery list board but since I don't have much wall space in my kitchen, I decided to turn my pantry door into one! ;)
 I made the {PANTRY}, {menu} and {grocery list} signs using the Silhouette machine, the utensils rub-ons are from Michaels. I painted the two middle rectangles using PLAID black chalkboard paint.
I also made a fabric bunting and some rosettes to add some color!

The children are very excited about this new idea and I am happy that I won't hear the daily question "What's for dinner?"  :)
Now to come up with an idea for their school/GS/sports/parties/playdates schedule!
I will be back! :)
XO,

Flowers made out of corn husks

I had some corn husks left over from our Fall Feast and it was the perfect excuse to try to make some of the flowers that I used to see in Brazil. I love the way it came out!! Perfect to embellish some Thanksgiving or Christmas gifts!

 Material:
Corn husks, scissors and glue gun

cut different sizes of flowers and circle/rectangle out of the corn husk
 To make the middle of the flowers, cut a a long and thin piece of the corn husk and roll it and secure it with hot glue.

glue the middle of the flower to the circle and start to glue the petals around it. I started from the outside.
 After I glued all the petals, I trimmed the petals and the circle.
Just love it!
