My new obsession...

...Pinterest!! This website has all your googling needs in one spot. I have found so many good recipes, organizing tips, decorating ideas, crafts, etc just searching on Pinterest.

My 1st project: a wooden growth chart for the girls. It's awesome because it hasn't cost me anything to make. I had all the materials for it already. We don't have to mark up a door way AND we can take it with us where ever we move. :)



This is the photo that gave me the idea.



Staining the wood to match the furniture we have in the house.



Red Mahogany!



Staining and drying complete. And yes, that is Shane trying to eat my growth chart. Haha



Numbers painted on it...



Just need to add the inch ticks to it and some sort of decoration. So it's not so plain.

Can't wait to post a picture of the final product. :)
