Glass Kitchen Canisters

I bought some glass jars months ago planning to put some vinyl on them and kept putting it off, but today I finally finished and I LOVE the way they turned out. 

Who knew vinyl could make something so simple so cute! I wish I could take credit for the cuteness but I actually got the idea from this blog. I loved the style of the jars but didn't like how big they were, I was so happy to find a smaller version at Wal-Mart.

Anyway, I used my cricut along with SCAL to design and cut the labels. They aren't exactly straight but I really don't think anyone will notice. 

While I had my cricut out I decided to go ahead and label Rilan's pencil box for school. He was so excited about it, I was too until I realized I put it on backwards! Guess I'll get to redo that one! ha!!

A few recent projects...

So I've had my cricut for a few weeks now and I am LOVING it! Just wish I had a little more time to use it! It still needs a permanent home too, my dining room table is tired of being its temporary home.

The first thing I made was Easter buckets for the kids. I still have to add polka dots to Zoey's and I might change her name to match her outfit she is going to wear on Easter. Rilan just wanted his name and a dinosaur on his so that was easy!

I did a few things for my mom while she was here with it. I put her name on her iPhone cover, and I also put Rilan's name on a sports bottle for his soccer games and practice.

We have a problem with toys in our house. It drive me nuts to see them scattered everywhere so I went to Wal-Mart and got this tub, whatever can fit into it and the lid go on can stay down stairs, everything else has to stay upstairs. Its been working so far. Now if I can just help Rilan learn how to keep his room clean!

And last, ever since I saw the mirror Kelly made for Hollis I knew I wanted to do something similar.  I already had this mirror in Zoey's room so it was nice that I didn't have to buy anything for the project! Well except the vinyl, which I had but even then it only cost about a dollar!

 Uhmm looks like I forgot to clean the mirror good before I hung it!

I have a few more projects planned to do in the next few weeks, I can't wait to share when they are done!
