in all the free time i've had for the last month and half before getting a job, i've tried to find things to help me from going crazy.
some of these things were attempts to improve myself.
like trying to be more domestic.
and it seems the general opinion on being domestic includes being crafty. like sewing your apron and then your children's clothing. or having a trendy styled house full of home-made decor. or scrap booking your family's life.
while i enjoy trying to be creative, i have no such talents. or a desire for most of the typical ones.
so for all you crafty cheaters out there, here is a fun and easy thing that i find helps fulfill some domestic, creative needs:
freezer paper stencils.
very cheap and simple, but you can do a million things with them.
here are some i've done recently:
i just love dandelions!!
not for my baby, but i love the onesis and they make great gifts.
tree love and this paint is an awesome copper!
the best thing about these is customizing to match your personal style (i love retro) or for gifts.
if you want to learn how, here's a pretty good tutorial:
so many possibilities!
i've wondered about freezer stencils, but never done it! even went so far as to get some freezer paper from mom's basement. what to do with it???
