Fabric Wrapped Canvas Boards

My sister is currently re-doing my niece's room, and while they were here visiting two weekends ago, we did a very simple project for the new room.  Originally, she wanted a big memo board to hang on the wall to use to hang photos, art, and other prized possessions.  After seeing the fabric covered canvas board that Andrea did here at Oak Ridge Revival, we decided to do this project.  I think they turned out great!!

Materials Needed:

Blank Canvases
Fabric
Glue Gun
Ribbon (to add around the outside for trim)

I'm excited to see what they look like hanging on her wall when the room is completed!

A Few Things I'm Loving This Week

Happy Friday!!  I'm really excited that the weekend is finally here.  I wanted to share with you a few of my favorite things from this past week...you know just in case you have free time this weekend and want to enjoy them too!

Last weekend, my sister and I rented Something Borrowed, and we loved it!!  I have read the book twice now and the sequel Something Blue, so I was really excited to see the movie.  I think they did a fantastic job!  My sister had never read the books, but she also thought the movie was super entertaining.  Of course she wants to read the books now!  I'd recommend the books or the movie if you are in the mood for some easy to read chic lit or a chic flick.

And if you need something sweet to snack on while reading or watching the movie, you have to try Ghirardelli's new Dark Chocolate and Sea Salt Caramel Squares.  They are heavenly!!! 

Well, since we are on the topic of food and sweets, there's one more thing.  If you want a healthier option, but still want someting sweet, get the KIND bar in almond and coconut.  YUM!  You've probably tried these by now, but I'm just now catching on.  It's so delicious, but you are still eating something good for you!

Did you discover any new sweet treats or new favorite things this week??  Do share!!

 Hope you enjoy your weekend!!!

Missoni Craze...I Caved

Okay, okay, I'll admit it.  I fell victim to the Missoni for Target craze yesterday and bought a few items!! I do admit that many pieces in the line are super cute, however I was in amazement at the happenings at Target for their website to crash and the stores to be out of stock of most of the goods in a matter of hours.  I'm really in awe!  I know many people were anticipating the line, but I was shocked at the craziness.  It really saddens me that so many items were scooped up so fast only to be marked up and sold on e-bay.  I think it was super fun for Target to collaborate with Missoni and introduce this line, so I'm hoping they do re-stock.  I confess here that although I tried to resist, I did partake in the madness myself and made a few purchases on-line, which I'm really excited about!

I got this hat and then a few more little girl's items that I don't want to show as they are going to be Christmas gifts!!

I kept my purchases minimal as to not overdue it, but here are the two items I really wanted.  Of course they were already out of stock!  Maybe if they re-stock the shelves.... 

Did you join in the Missoni for Target craze also??
