Looking for a Hero!

 As several people may know that I actually never intended janiegirlcrafts to take off.  Here I am, almost 18 months later, working everyday to fill orders!  I never thought I would have over 100 sales let alone 10,000 blog views.  I am excited by work everyday.  I get to view the world through a child's eyes and the view couldn't be better.





So, I have been thinking...  I have a couple of new adventures heading my way this year and I feel it is time to rename the shop.  I have a few options that I am fond of, however I would love to hear your ideas!  Take a look around the shop, and check out my new about page on ETSY.

Please comment or send me an email with your new shop name ideas!

A Wondeful Solution

I just had to share this 5 minute project that has change my life!  Not to mention my son loves it too.  I was looking for a solution to the pile of books that has taken over my son's room.  Every night we read about a dozen books, sometimes just the same book over and over and over.  By the time my son falls asleep I can't get out of the chair the pile of books is so big.  We go thru this process: 

Me: "This one?"
Max: "No."
Me: "This one?"
Max: "No."
 Me: "This one?"
Max: "Okay."

 So, I scoured Pinterest.  I found some great options and some great activities and storage solutions, along with some future projects.  Check out more ideas on my board:  Well, I was originally going to get some rubber gutters from Home Depot, then walking thru Ikea the other day I found these Ribba shelves:  Word of warning they aren't in the shelf area when you go to look at them.  You can find them over by the picture frames, we purchased the 45" option, they also come in 21".  They were absolutely perfect.  Now my son can see exactly what he wants to read and he has even started bringing them to me when we are upstairs.  I have to say this might be my new favorite spot in the house.  Since it has been so hot, after our morning walk we turn the air on in Max's room and hang out to cool off.  His room has the best light in the house anyway and with this new corner I can sit and read my book while he runs around the room picking out  new books and "reading them" too.
