DIY Jewelry Board Project

So I wanted to share a little DIY project that Trey did for me!  I have ALOT of chunky jewelry and needed a place to put it all because the little jewelry box on my dresser just wasn't cutting it.  I had asked for a jewelry box for Christmas but the one I wanted that would be big enough to hold all my jewelry costs around $200! There is no way we are spending that kind of money on large jewelry box.  So I then got on the internet and found a jewelry board along with the DIY instructions!  I showed Trey, of course he had to start making it (without me knowing it...it was supposed to be for Christmas!!). The sweet part about it was when I got home from work today he had me go into the bedroom and there it was! My beautiful jewelry board and he already put some of my jewelry on it for me!!! I have the best husband ever!

So I would like to share this DIY project with you.  Trey did a few things differently that I really like. He put a cork board on the top corner with ribbon decoration so I can use the ribbon to hang some of my earrings that have to hang, then use the cork to push my other earrings into it so they stay on.  He also did the larger scrolling design which I like a lot better. 

Here is the website for the project :  http://blog.freepeople.com/2011/10/wednes-diy-jewelry-board/

October 2011

A lot has happened in the past couple of weeks since I've last blogged!  Haley has learned to say a few words,  learned to climb on the couch, grab things off the counters... basically she has learned to get into everything in reach!  I love going into her room in the morning to hear her sweet little voice say "hi".  She loves to hand Trey and I her toys and tell us "thank you" when she does it!  She waves and says bye while she does a backwards wave (waves at herself), and she offically says "Mama" instead of "nana".  Out of the blue one day she also started to point and ask us "what's that?".  She has officially mastered the slide in our living room after I spent a day telling her she has to sit before she can slide.  So since she mastered the slide, I took her to the mall the other day and let her climb up on theirs, except on theirs she found it more fun to slide down on her tummy!  It was the cutest thing ever!  It's weird because watching my niece and nephews growing up, I always seen them do the funniest things. I for some odd reason thought I wouldn't have a kid that does funny things. Well I was wrong!! She cracks me up all the time to where I'm sometimes almost in tears because I laugh so hard!  The saying is true... kids do the funniest things! 

We are so blessed to have a child that sleeps through the night (12 hours since she was 6 wks old), eats anything and everything, and is happy all the time.  I enjoy her more and more each day and am so thankful to stay home with her during the day.  Since working at Planet Beach, Trey and I have adjusted to our schedules and it works great. He is such a great Dad.  He cooks her dinner at night, plays with her, gives her a bath and puts her to bed and still finds time to do the dishes if I hadn't done them yet.  I couldn't ask for a better husband.   Love you babe ;)

 

Until next time... 

❤ Melissa, Trey, & Haley ❤
