I bought a package of those clear marble rocks when they were on sale at Michael's for $1 a while back now. All along I intended on making magnets, it just took me until now to get around to it. I am going to show you how I made them. There might be a better way or you might prefer to work with different adhesives, but this is how I rocked them. These magnets are so fun and simple. They would make a great Mother's day gift. You could even use photos to personalize them. I used a sheet of ...

We found a mailbox for $9.99 at Walmart. We used masking tape (we were out of ...
How About Them Knobs?
Door knobs people, door knobs! Back in the fall we updated a Goodwill headboard (you can read more about that here) and while we were in spray painting mode we decided to update some hardware in our bedroom as well.
