What I Got to do for My Birthday and a Farmhouse Sign

Happy Hump Day! Friday is almost here! Although I’m not too happy about Friday, because I have my annual doctor’s appointment. However, after my appointment I plan to visit the Kupkakery, which is a family owned bakery with the most delicious cupcakes! I’ve been craving one of those cupcakes! (You can see all the different flavors here: Kupkake Flavors.)

Most of you know that my birthday was Tuesday. I woke up to tons of messages from my friends on Facebook. That’s the only day of the year most of those people attempt to talk to me. Every other day is just a day. I hardly spend any time on Facebook any more because it’s so annoying. However, it’s the only way I have to keep up with family.

Let me show you all the great things I got to do for my birthday!!

I got to go grocery shopping in 13 degree weather at 7 a.m.

I got to do laundry.

I got to cut up all the meats and vegetables for a month as well as put the dinner in the crock pot.

I got to clean up cat vomit.

I got to wash all the dishes.

I finally got to eat dinner – London Broil, mashed potatoes, green beans, a roll, tomato slices, and cantaloupe chunks.

My birthday was just the funnest!

I did manage to get in a craft, though. I made a farmhouse sign for my kitchen using all Dollar Tree items. (Of course!!)

I used an 11×14″ picture frame and a cute plastic table mat. I simply took the frame apart, laid the glass onto the table mat and traced it, then cut around the line. I put the table mat in the frame and put it all back together. I love it! It reminds me of a high end farmhouse sign! The best part is that the whole thing cost me $2!

Lay the glass from the frame onto the table mat and trace around it, then cut on the line.

Put everything back into the frame.

Cheap and simple Dollar Tree farmhouse sign!
