Family name sign

Isn't this gorgeous?! Love the crown moulding.

Crayons

To make these, just unwrap crayons, break into pieces and place into shaped baking tins. (spray with cooking spray first) You can mix colors, but try to keep warm colors together and cool colors together. (to avoid a bunch of brown crayons) Bake until completely liquified. Remove from oven, let cool, then dump out the crayons. Cool! (can't remember where I got this, either! sorry!)

Adorable!

Picture frame

I love these big, chunky frames. I can't remember where I saw this one, but they aren't hard to make. I like the writing on this one.

Christmas card wreath


From Martha Stewart:
Decorate a wall or an interior door by hanging a holiday-card wreath. Using wood glue, affix miniature wooden clothespins to a large (about 14-inch-diameter) embroidery hoop. Alternate clothespins to point outward and inward, spaced 1 1/2 inches apart. Suspend from a ribbon, and clip your cards in place as you receive them.

These were made with Stampin' Up! products, but you could use whatever. It's just a wooden block and the hole for the tea light was made using a drill or drill press.
