I found this old window at an antique store and painted it black. I didn't even sand it because I wanted the rugged look. I have terrible handwriting so I found a font I liked and printed off the "G" on the computer. Holding it behind the glass I traced it using a black paint pen. I'm still trying to decide if I want to put black and white pictures in the panes or some fun fabric. Any thoughts?

Hand Sanitizer
Everyone uses hand sanitizer but it's not always pretty. This is another simple craft we did at our last MOPS meeting. All you do is peel the label off a $1 bottle of hand sanitizer and replace it with stickers. Embellish with ribbon and buttons. It would make a great teacher gift. You can even monogram it with a paint pen. Simple, inexpensive and fun!
Bathroom Storage Cubby
We saw this neat idea on HGTV where you can build a storage cubby between studs in the wall. So there's this wall in our master bathroom and we decided to see what was behind it. Well as it turns out it was just empty space. What a waste! After deciding how large we wanted to make the cubby we cut out a hole in the wall. Then Jason made a "box" out of plywood and created shelves. He installed the box in the hole in the wall (don't ask me how he did this, I just come up with the ideas). Anyway, we painted and trimmed out the cubby with molding. Here's the finished product. I love having the extra space to store things or decorate. Saw the idea of storing soap in the apothecary jar in a magazine. I love how it all turned out!
