DIY Flip Book

Credit given to Artsy Fartsy Mama for this project. Hers was sewn on fabric and colored in. It's pretty. 

I did the short-cut version. Color and Laminate.

I was able to replicate her drawings (well some at least). Others I had to use my own creativity.

Laminators are my new favorite. They scare me though... I always have close calls each time I use it!

But I love that it protects the pages from little toddlers who will get their hands on it. Makes me want to redo my magnetic paper doll project... I'll let that one mull over in the brain a little bit :)

Now... go create!

Hello, October!

It's SOUP weather!!! And I got a yummy white bean and chicken soup you'd love.

The cold came quite suddenly, but I LOVE it. 

I just unpacked my scarves. Mmm. Love layering up. And we all know that my "grandma" slipper socks will be making their debut in no time ;) Poor Max.. Haha. If you don't remember from last winter, go read this post on my stylish Fall/Winter apparel...

My obsession with crafting has also been taking off while I sit all cozy at the kitchen table in the evenings: 

And I'm just finishing up a burlap wreath. It's looking good so far! I was nervous about sturdiness because it's on a coat hanger... Pictures to come. P.S., it's burlap from Home Depot. WAY cheaper than buying the "nicer" stuff. And it works just as great. Bonus.

I got a library card the other day! Which.. I don't know why I did that. I don't have time to read for pleasure! (But, she has time for crafting, you say? Yeah, don't know what happened there...). But I am going to research some good ones for Christmas break. I know it's a ways out but...hey, I got Micro to tackle here and it ain't easy! Any good reads? I DID pick up a vintage-like book of "The Gingerbread Man" for $.50 though! You can tell I'm totally gearing up for motherhood when everything I want, get, or "pin" is revolved around children. I figure its better to start buying little things here and there so that when we do get a little peanut, it's not this huge wave of bills. Though I'm sure it'll be a rush no matter what I do.. every little bit helps, eh?

Huh?

So I was going through and adding labels to some of my posts, mostly my DIY posts, and for some reason, it moved two old posts to the front of the pack! Weird. Hopefully it will correct itself but oh well!

Anyone else loving this fall weather today? Too bad it's supposed to get hot again! I am dying for pumpkins, and scarves, and holiday decor! Pinterest is giving me a laundry list of ideas! Follow me and see what I mean :)
