Celebrity Wallpapers

Posted by sew4tejhtr6ier Minggu, 18 Agustus 2013 0 komentar

Celebrity wallpapers are a great way to dress up your computer. From your favorite actor to the hottest actresses, there is something out there for everyone. While it is not a world changing decision to change the wallpaper on your computer, doing so can be highly beneficial to your productivity and enjoyment. The human mind grows stagnant over time, and anything you can do to spice things up gets you on the right path again in no time. If that isn't reason enough to grab your favorite celebrity wallpapers as decoration, here are a few more:

Give your windows a personality. Windows for your computer have been around for years now, and they can grow quite boring if you forget to change them. While your computer comes with a variety of different wallpapers, they are often times too generalized to be fulfilling. By tracking down your favorite celebrity wallpapers, you can start to think of your computer as more of a companion that shares your interests. It is a process of striking the right virtual work environment.

They won't cost you a dime. Most wallpapers online are free. When it comes to celebrity wallpapers, many are free because to charge for them would mean a pretty hefty licensing fee. Sometimes websites will pay that licensing fee for the traffic it gets them, but it is really up to the provider. In short, since you are the consumer, you stand to benefit the most through free access.

Pretty Magnets & Push Pins

Posted by sew4tejhtr6ier Rabu, 14 Agustus 2013 0 komentar

What is the point of creating a beautiful pin & magnetic board if the pins and magnets are ugly?
A few days ago I showed you how to make a half-pin half-magnetic board (read about it here), and today I'm sharing how I made cute push pins and magnets to compliment the new board.

Making Lovely Magnets & Push Pins
I found some lovely clips at Michaels and had to have them for the pin/magnetic board!
They were the perfect variety of sizes for stick-on magnets, tacks, or push pins. I simple bent and broke the back clips. Other options I considered were buttons, jewelry, and scrapbook stickables...I found these first and was enticed at the final price of $1.

A bit of superglue was all it took to adhere the push pins and tacks. Because the clips fit so snugly over top of the pins and magnets it made for a sturdy seal. I haven't had any problems with them popping off.

I purchased round magnets that have a peel and place backing to it...so they did not require glue. And presto, I have a lovely variety of magnets and pins!

MAGNETS: My daughter loves these magnets. She is able to display pictures and other items she doesn't want pin holes ruining. Call me biased or a proud mama, but isn't my 7 year old's superhero drawing stink'in awesome!

PUSH PINS: Flat headed tacks are my favorite, but I thought it was a good idea to give a variety of push pins a makeover. After all, tacks are easy to hide behind an attractive clip, but push pins are more practical for little fingers to pull out easier.

Nothing is more attractive (or more useful) than a pretty pin & magnetic board with pretty pins and magnets!
I did happen to find a jeweled set of tacks to compliment the ones I made, but I love the design and diversity of the DIY ones so much more.

DIY Pin & Magnetic Board

Posted by sew4tejhtr6ier Kamis, 08 Agustus 2013 0 komentar

Something needed to go above my daughters dresser, it looked a bit sparse sitting in the corner all by its lonesome. Mirror? Or perhaps a few framed photos? I love the look of a finely decorated wall space, but I'm also a die hard practical.
Finally I settled on something I knew my ever artistic daughter would put to good use...a pinboard! What a great way for her to showcase her latest drawings (and hopefully keep all that paper off the floor).

Pinboard/Magnetic Board
I wanted to create more than just a pinboard, I wanted to provide her the opportunity to pin up notes, but sometimes she has pictures or other items she doesn't want pin holes in. So why choose? There are benefits to either... So I created the left side as a pin board to accommodate tacks and push pins, and the right side is magnetic only.

One of the benefits of having half magnetic board is using these little magnetic storage canisters I found on sale at Michaels for $1 each. My daughter can store push pins and magnets, paper clips, hair clips, and any other knick knacks she desires in these magnetic canisters.

Another fantastic (and super easy) project is to make pretty magnets and push pins for your pinboard! But I'll share the details on how to do that in the next post. **Read how here.** First let me show you how to make the board itself!

Necessary Materials

Picture Frame (no glass)
Foam Board
Sheet Metal (or disassembled dry erase board**)
Cork Roll (or thin squares)
Batting (optional)
Spray Adhesive or Adhesive Strips
Furniture Staple Gun

**I disassembled an old dry erase board that had been written on with permanent marker. Simply remove the cardboard backing and plastic edges using a flat head screwdriver. Then take out the magnetic sheet to use for the new pinboard... it's cheaper and reuses old materials!

Steps to Make
Step 1: Cut the foam board to fit in your frame snugly (if there is a frame backing use that as a template to cut to size...but it must be a snug fit!). The foam board acts as the new backing to the frame, as well as additional cushion for your push pins. Pins will pass through the thin cork into the foam board and not your wall!

Step 2: Adhere the cork to one half of the foam board, and magnetic board to the other half. You can use a spray glue or use the adhesive strips that usually come with the cork squares.

Step 3: Cut your batting and/or choice of fabric to overlap the area of the foam board by a couple inches. (The batting is optional, as it is purely for aesthetic purposes...it rounds out the look of the pin & magnetic board so it doesn't look too flat)

Step 4: Wrap the foam board/magnetic sheet/cork combo with your batting and fabric. Pop it into your frame (it should hold the fabric snugly in place), and use duck tape to secure the fabric flat against the back.

Step 5: This part is purely securing your foam board within your frame. You will use the same technique framers use: staple into the frame staying flush with the foam board. If you need to, use a tool to push the staples down tight against the backing. Optionally cover the frame backing with brown paper or the wrong side of wrapping paper (just so you don't have to see the ugly backside when you move!). Hang, and you're done!

My daughter loves her pin & magnetic board! She rotates her favorite drawings, and notes, and I believe it will be even more useful as she grows and learns all about living an organized life! Doesn't it look lovely above her newly updated dresser?

five weeks ago, i decided that i needed to start running again. i was having a hard time balancing things: the summer with the kids home, building a house, my work load and working from home (which is currently a 2 bedroom apt). so i decided to hit the pavement. the first day, i ran 3 miles and have continued ever since. but saturday, warren decided we were going to run 6 miles.....i thought i was going to die. but i made it. there is nothing better then the feeling you get when you reach your front door after a run....knowing that you set out to do something and you completed it. the one thing that gets me through my run is my playlist...here are some of my fav's in case you need some motivation:

Here's to Never Growing Up Avril Lavigne
Die Young Ke$ha
Same Love Macklemore & Ryan Lewis
All of the Lights Kayne
Feel this Moment Pittbull

Hosting A Great Garage Sale

Posted by sew4tejhtr6ier Minggu, 04 Agustus 2013 0 komentar

Garage sales are a great way to make a little spending money, and declutter your house at the same time!
I love garage sale season! When you decorate on pennies you rely on roadkill furniture, thrift shops, and garage sales. This year I decided to get in on the garage sale action and host one of my own! It is such a great solution for me. I have quite a bit of inherited furniture and household goods that don't match my taste or that I just don't use. So I hold a garage sale to trade away those unwanted pieces for something a little more to my liking that fit my lifestyle and needs.

Making Garage Sales Fun (& Effective)
Garage/Yard sales are a lot of work for what feels like very little money. So to increase my chances at making a sale, and making the process a little more fun, my family and I decided to pimp our garage sale! *grin* Day one was great! Day two, not so much...eh, garage sales are definitely a hit-and-miss, but it can never hurt to increase your odds! The most important thing you can do is advertise, but in addition here are a few easy tips to make your sale go that much better.

Sale Signs
Signs are like commercials for your garage sale, they either have the power to pull people in, or they are just kind of there. I can't tell you the number of times I have made split second decisions to follow a garage sale sign because the sign made me think they had quality goods (and lots of them!). I find myself drawn to attractive signs, or key words such as "huge", or "moving" sale...it means it is probably worth my effort because there will be lots of good items to choose from.
Make your signs neat, easy to read, clear, and as concise as possible. If your signs are large enough it can be helpful to add the dates and times of your sales, or if your home is hard to find instead choose to add the address.
I noticed that I am not the only one with yard sale fever, Tatertots & Jello has the sweetest yard sale sign printables available!

In addition to roadside signs, I thought it would also be helpful to add one more large sign right in front of our house... so there would be no speeding past. And of course, my girls would say balloons are a must! But you already knew that. ;)

Name Tags
I hate showing up at a busy garage sale and not being able to tell who is hosting it. Call me bashful, but my idea of a great time at a sale isn't walking from person to person asking "is this your garage sale"?
For fun and function, the girls (who I put in charge of the sale) wore "Cashier" tags, and were sure to greet each potential customer with a cheerful "Welcome to our garage sale!". They also handled all the money (great practice!), and I was quite impressed at the skill of my little mathematicians. Of course, it didn't hurt that kids were doing the selling... *wink*

Offer Freebies
Create a "Freebie" box with a sign easily seen from the road. Advertise that you will have freebies (first come first serve). You can even advertise the good from your freebie box on freecycle.org following your local group rules. A little extra enticement can go a long way!

Update The Goods
I have a few pieces that are lovely, and if I had the space or use for them I would keep them. Of course, these pieces need a vision and that is not always something buyers will have. So I took 5 minutes and gave a few pieces some new life with a little spray paint! It allows me to offer it for a higher price, and send pretty pieces to good homes.

Optimum Sale Arrangement
I know that this is a garage sale, but why not optimize? I figure my time is precious, and I want to get the biggest buck for my time, so why not use the tried and true business methods? Stores are smart in their arrangement, so why shouldn't I be?
I tried to arrange my garage (well, yard...) sale much as you would see a furniture store arranged. Well, as much as possible anyway. This way every item is clearly visible and attractive to the potential buyer. If you have enough items to do so, why not set up items by room? It is also a good idea to put a few of your nicest pieces closer to the road for best visibility.

Finally...
Have fun (inasmuch as possible), make lots of money, and remember that it is a good thing to streamline your home and declutter your life! So if you haven't used it in a year, please lose it! *grin*
Good luck!
