Hold on to your family tight.. 
Tell them you love them daily.. 
Treat 'em as if it's the last day you'll ever see them..

Family Rules..

Tawk of the day: "Live the life you love, love the life you live."

So.. If you have been living in the life of blogland, you may have seen 'family rules' signs like these:

    

(found these various ones on pinterest.com)

HERE IS MY FAMILY RULES SIGN:

I am not a huge fan on a lot of bold colors like these signs.. so I stuck with more neutral colors and used the bold color on the frame only.

If you like my version and don't want to spend lots on this project follow my steps ;)

Here is what you will need:

~Various scrap booking paper (I got mine from JoAnn fabric's for .41 cents a sheet!)

~A picture frame (Mine was free from my grandma)

~A computer, *Picnik.com*, and a printer.

~Mod Podge

~Scissors

~Sharpie (I used this to color the matte in my frame.. It was maroon and I knew it wouldn't go with the color choice of the frame and the sign itself... So it was kind of a cheap way to transform your matting.)

Steps:

1.)  If you do not like the way your frame looks, repaint it! 

This is what my frame looked like BEFORE:

(I forgot to take a before pic of the one I used, but this one is the same but different matting color and picture)

This is what I did:

-Skipped the priming.

-Painted it in Sherwin Williams

-Distressed it by glazing it in Behr's.

2.)  I went to pinterest and found a 'family rules' artwork that I wanted to use.. This is what I found:

I used pretty much all the same quotes, but placed them in different order ..

3.)  Go to picnik.com and go to 'collage' and write each 'quote' in whatever font and color you like!

Save them to your documents.

4.) Print them like so:

(I trimmed mine down.. cutting wave-like lines on some of them)

I taped a strip of scrap paper to a piece of computer paper.

5.) Place them on your backing of your picture frame and Mod Podge them in place!!

6.) Let dry and frame it!

I LOVE MINE!! (not to brag or anything ;)

Total cost was pretty much under $5!!

{score}

Hope I inspired youns to make your own 'family rules' sign! :)

When life throws you old shirts... make scarves!!

Tawk of the day "Embrace Faith.  Pray Loudly.  Forgive ALWAYS."

    

I used two old American Eagle tanks size Med.

You don't want a shirt too wide.

I actually should have used smalls.

*The dashes are where I chose to cut my shirt.

[the bottom dashes are the hem of the shirt.. I didn't want that on my scarf]

*Next cut strips as displayed in this picture.

Thanks for stopping by!

How'd you come up with J House Tawk ??.

So how did I get the name 'J House Tawk' you might ask?..

Well, I was never creative with picking out stuff like this so my mother and sister actually came up with it.  My husband's name and my son's name start with a J also.. So that's how I came up with J House.. We are a house full of J's.

I wanted to incorporate something else along with my blog.. = like adding a quote/TALK of the day...  I wanted to make the word talk stand out.. so that's how ''TAWK'' came about! ..

There ya goes.

Find me on Pinterest.com :)
