How-To: Instant Toy Box

What to do when your new crawler seems to aquire enough toys to arm a small nation overnight? 

1) Take a diaper box (if you don't have one available, wait two days until you have to buy more diapers then continue to Step 2).

2) Grab some handy, dandy Contact paper.  Pick either a solid colored roll or one with a pattern that matches (or at least doesn't clash) with the living room.  You can find Contact paper almost anywhere.  Make sure you pick out a darker color to cover up the print on the diaper box.


3)  Add Contact paper to box.  Add name signage if needed (or if Daddy decides to be ultra creative).


And now you have a toy box to corral all those unruly toys!

  2. Just give her a few months and she'll need two or three of these... baby toys have a way of multiplying! I have some "Cars" contact paper that would be perfect for this project. Thanks for sharing, and for stopping by my blog!

Pretty in Pink and Some Sparkles too!

A hat for my oldest in ballet pink (red heart yarn she picked) with some silver beads.  No pattern, and ended up running elastic thread through a couple rows to make it more secure on her head for now, until she grows into it some more. Matches a shoulder shrug knitted for her during her year of ballet lessons.

Add a ‘click-able’ signature to comments you make.

While blog hopping recently, I came across this fantastic tip listed on Be Our Best .  Jill has compiled her Top 10 Blogging Tips in one place to help others out there in blogland.  Most of them I had heard of before.  But she had one on her list that I have only seen a couple times in practice, and have not heard a how-to do it before. Number 6: Add a clickable signature to your comments. If you add the following text to the bottom of the comments you leave for other bloggers, whatever text you insert for “Your Text Here” will be clickable.  You have to switch out “{“ and “}” with “<” and “>” then it will work.  Remember to also change the “Your Blog Address” part, LOL! {a href=http://www.YourBlogAddress.com/ }YOUR TEXT HERE {/a} Bonus Tip ~ I use Notepad to store all the html codes I use on a regular basis {the direct link code for my signature image, color codes, etc.}.  I added the above code to my Notepad page, edited it with my information, and saved it.  Now all I
