Oh So Chichi: 2012

After over a year I'm finally sharing how the heck my Menu Board, Dry-Erase Board and Chore Charts are hanging in my Kitchen Command Center! I've received dozens of emails and comments asking how, so I figured it was time to actually make a post about it! Are you ready? .......

3M Command Strips

Not a single nail hole involved! For the Menu Board and Dry Erase Board, I used the "Command Saw-Tooth Picture Hanger". This size will hold up to 5lbs!

For the Chore Charts, I used the "3M Command Picture Hanging Strips". Seriously, these suckers are awesome and I use them all over the house ...

You can find these at just about any shopping center like Target or Walmart ... even home improvements like Lowes or Home Depot.

I hope this helps you get one step closer to creating a Command Center for your home ... happy shopping!

I haven't been present on my blog in a few months ... I terribly miss it and I fear I'm going through personal crafting withdrawal. So where have I been and what exactly has been occupying my time?

My little shop ChichiKIDS has exploded locally and it's still in high demand online ... not to mention I've pulled several "Reserve" days in the military, launched ChichiLIFE, launched new product lines for ChichiKIDS, launched OH SO Chichi Handbags as a Miche Independent Sales Representative, started taking and teaching dance classes again, manage 3 FB pages, 3 blogs, volunteer work, photography groups ... and of course all those wonderful things that come with raising a toddler who has a schedule of his own ... specialized speech therapy 3 times per week, gymnastics, softball and playgroups. Did I mention my hubby has been deployed for the last 6-months?

My passion for blogging and crafting is still present ... I'm simply trying to figure out a balance that allows me to manage all of it while keeping a certain level of sanity. :)

Here is a little photo journey of my favorite projects the last couple months ....

TONS of custom iron-on vinyl appliques for local groups.

I love the challenge of new and unique designs.

Gift for family and friends! I'm going through a "every gift needs to be handmade" phase.

The launch of my You + Me designs for Valentine's.

I participate in a 365 day photo challenge called A Year As A Military Spouse ... we contribute publish worthy photos to document our life. I'm behind publishing my photos ... I blame it on the crash of my Macbook and the fact that I have to borrow my hubby's. :)
