25 Days of a Crafty Christmas Day 14

So sorry, I forget just how busy I am this time of year.  I plan on getting everything caught up by tomorrow.

Day 14
Painted Door Mat

What you will need:
Spray Paint
Outdoor paint
Door mat
Paint brushes


Directions:

Before you do anything else, you will want to sweep and shake out your door mat (if you are using an old one).  In this tutorial I am using my doormat I have had since spring!  Isn't it cute?
If you will be using an old doormat that already has a design on it you WILL want to primer the mat first.  I did not do this and you can still see the design a bit.

Once primered and completely dry you can paint with color I choice.  My main color is Red, I used 2 cans of spray paint (if I would have used primer I would have probably only needed one).  Allow to thoroughly dry.

Pick a design you like and start painting!  I was going to put Christmas trees on mine, but since you could still see polka dots and daisies I just made due.  Make sure you are using paint made to use outdoor!  You will be walking on the mat and you don't want it to look warn after the first person walks on it.

Once mat is totally dry, place in front of your door.

That's it!  SUPER easy and SO cute!  

Here is my finished product


Not much different from the before but I like it.

Strawberries and Cream Instant Oatmeal | Recipe

I don't know about you but, we go through oatmeal like that is the only thing to eat on this planet!   Seriously a TON! My youngest would eat it for every meal and snack....every day....if I let her. Yes, the little packs can be cheap (if you can find a coupon and get them on sale) but it still adds up.  I used things I already had on hand so there was no extra cost to make this.  FREE is ALWAYS good!   I tried before to make little packets to keep on hand but that was a complete fail.  I have since reworked the recipe and am happy with the results.  I decided to just keep the oatmeal in a glass container this time and scoop out what we need, when we need it.  You can also make this into packets by just scooping the desired amount into zip-top bags. {Strawberries & Cream Instant Oatmeal}   12 Servings 6 Cups Quick Cook Oats 1 1/2 Cups Oat Powder 2 Cups Powdered Milk 1 - 1 1/2 Cup Sugar 1 Cup Fr...

Being {P}resent

This post is sponsored by Family Christian . All opinions are my own. Last year I decided on the word Change for my 'word of the year'. This year, my word is Present. Present. Being, existing or occurring at this time or now. At this time. Being with one or others. Being here. Present. Over the last year, many, MANY things have changed. There have been divorces, marriages, babies being born, loved ones lost, illnesses, decisions were made. Lives were forever changed. I'm not going to lie, 2014 was a TOUGH year. I grew and learned a LOT about myself, my husband, our marriage, our children, our families and our friends. Our world was rocked more than once last year.   One of the major changes that occurred in 2014, we decided to start homeschooling. You guys. That was a HARD decision. The first few months were HARD. Our relationships with the girls changed....for the better. We have all learned SO MUCH. This change was good! Because of all of...
