Kids, Life's Little Happenings, The Nanny Diaries

was it really 57 degrees three days ago?…

Those of you who follow me on Facebook know this face. But for those of you who aren’t familiar, this is Mackenzy.  She’s been one of my kids (I nanny) since she was 17 months old, and she will be a whopping 5 years old in April. YIKES! Makes me wonder where the time goes.

Anyway, we had just gotten home and the snow was looking UH-mazing, so before we trampled inside and removed all the gear, I decided to grab a few shots of Kenzy looking cute, as always.

Life's Little Happenings

cute plaque craft for photos

Boredom struck this past Saturday night, so it was off to hobby lobby!

I decided to put into action a craft I had been longing over from Pinterest!

This is a super easy one and very low cost! All together, my total investment was under $20 dollars.

What you will need to get started:

  • Wood plaques from Hobby Lobby
  • white craft paint along with a few of your own color choices
  • foam brushes
  • Mod Podge. I used a glossy version of Mod Podge, but looking back, I would recommend a matte finish if possible.

NOW IT’S CRAFTING TIME

STEP ONE:  Apply a layer of white paint on all your plaques and let dry

STEP TWO: Apply two coats of your colored paint and scuff up the edges once the paint starts to dry. I just ran my finger nail along the edges to remove some of the drying tacky paint.

STEP THREE: Choose a picture, apply Mod Podge to the back and place it, then apply a layer of Mod Podge over the entire image as well as the entire plaque and let dry.

STEP FOUR: ENJOY!
