Snowy Day Craft

Full of Scrap!


Before I explain my craft project, I have to explain the name of this post. :) With our last name being Fuller, my husband has named his business Full Circle Designs. In the past, I have made cute, themed paint cans that I named Scrapbuckets. So from now on, all of my craft projects will be titled Full of Scrap! I may even make a new button to go along with it. :) Does it sound vulgar? repulsive? crude? Maybe, but I like it!


Now, on to the Snowy Day Craft...

Location: Hobby Lobby

Materials: 7 Chip Board Letters, 7 pieces of scrapbook paper
small amount of paint, spray adhesive, 2 brackets for hanging

Cost: Letters @ $1.77 each
Paper @ $.59 each (week
ly ad had it 1/2 off!)
Glue @ $2.99 (C
hristmas was 1/2 off!)
Elmer's Spray Adhesive
@ $2.99

Of course it comes out better if you already have a small amount of paint and adhesive on hand! It also depends on the amount of letters you need, but I still consider this a pretty inexpensive project. Hobby Lobby also has small wooden letters for $.99.
Another note to mention is that I used hot glue to put my letters together. I had to reinforce it with more glue on the back as well. Stubborn letters may require a small screw on the back.

I'll be adding more to this project in the next few days! :)

I also think when we can move into a more permanent place (and can paint), this would really pop out against a nice orange or blue!

So here are a couple of things I felt like sharing. :)

I found this fall arrangement at a yard sale for $3!!! Yay! The yard sale was full of donated items to help a couple from our Life Group with their adoption process. Even though it's September, I am so ready for fall! I just wish we could be back in Alabama to enjoy the beautiful changing of the leaves. :) Fall is a little different out here in Texas, but it still has the same feel about it. Any more ideas on how to decorate my house??? I also recently bought the Leaves fragrance room spray from Bath & Body Works. I highly recommend it!

Next, I wanted to share our new behavior plan for Caedmon. We're trying the time-out thing, and it works pretty well for the most part. Caedmon likes to play while in time-out, so he now has to put his hands in his lap. This has been pretty effective for us. He still likes to test his boundaries with us though!
I thought I would try a sticker chart to see how it goes. Little man will be 2 in December, so I'm not sure how much of this he actually 'gets'. He loves Elmo, and I found a pack of 30 of these little charts and Sesame Street stickers for $1 each at Target. He gets a sticker each evening if he doesn't sit in time-out all day, and he gets to pick from the treasure box after he gets three. Not sure how effective this method will be or if it's too early to start something like this. We'll see!!! :)
