Creating a Backyard Fire Pit

I LOVE to work outside in my yard just about as much as I do inside. I usually hop around… outside to inside, inside to outside and so on.  I always have ideas and I had this dream of having this cute little backyard fire pit area.  So, a month or so ago, my husband and I created the area.

I’m totally digging it.

We’ve enjoyed it and our boys LOVE to roast marshmallows and hot dogs over the fire.

Here’s where it all began…

We had this semi-level area where an over the ground pool sat, a few years back. The pool was ruined so it's been gone for a while now.  I'd love to get another pool one day, but I do get nervous with pools and little ones, so I think we'll stick with kiddie pools until my littlest knows how to swim.

The area had became an ugly eye-sore in our backyard and my husband and I decided it was time to change that. So we bought this fire pit (on sale) at Home Depot and some concrete edging blocks.

and some pavers to create a walkway out to the fire pit.

We raked out the dirt as level as we could…

… laid down landscaping fabric, placing the edging blocks on top of the fabric.  We actually just left the fire pit in it’s spot and ran the fabric around and under it.

…then we simply added gravel rock (I think that’s what it’s called) on top of the fabric.

Once the blocks were in place, we cut the excess landscaping fabric off.

then added our chairs back into the area (the chairs are from Wal-Mart.)

I have this vision of nice evergreen bushes all the way around the fire pit so, eventually, I’d like to create a landscaping border of mulch around the entire area and under the pavers. Then I’ll fill the mulch area with bushes and flowers, creating a semi-enclosed fire pit area, but for now… I’m TOTALLY LOVING my new backyard fire pit!

How about you, do you have a backyard fire pit?  Did you create the area yourself of hire someone to do it for you?  Do share, I’d love to hear from you.

May you be you a little inspired!

Until next time,

DaNita

Making Labels Stick To Bins

As most of you know I LOVE to label everything!  Not only label things, but I absolutely a.d.o.r.e. labeling everything with cutesy labels.  I love designing the labels too, and you’ll find all my designs RIGHT HERE in my Etsy shop.  My hubby teases me… he says that if I could, I’d label him and the boys too. ;) Silly guy! Most of the time I remember their names. ;) BUT just like most moms, there are times that I’ll call out all four of my boys’ names before I get the right one. ;) Don't you do that?

The labels in my shop have become some of my most popular sellers.  There are even edit-able labels.  These are PDF files that you can type your own words in.  Believe me, I’ve gone back to many of them to quickly label something and it’s so nice and convenient!

BUT how in the world do I make the labels stick to bins or baskets?  This question has been emailed to me multiple times.  So many times that I decided it was time for a specific post on how to attach the labels to bins.  

I’ve talked about the Xyron sticker makers in some of my previous posts. 

 

My very favorite sticker maker is the 5” create-a-sticker.  I got mine from Wal-Mart.  You can find them at Craft Warehouse and Michaels as well.

It’s super easy to use too!  Here’s the how-to:

Purchase your favorite label shape and design in my SHOP, then simply edit (the ones that are edit-able) and print your label. Cut them out with a paper cutter or scissors and if you’d like to, you can laminate the label. (I recommend laminating labels that will be handled often.)

Next just slide the label into the front of the create-a-sticker. Turn the knob and…

VOILA!  It’s a sticker!!  Just like that! Simple as pie.

Pop your new sticky label right onto a bin, basket, tote, wherever and you’re done.

You can get permanent or removable cartridges.  So you can choose if you want to be able to take it off the bin/basket in the future.  I like to use the permanent cartridges.

and the smaller sticker maker works similar and can also be found in the same stores.

simply slide the label in

and pull it through the other side

and VOILA it's a sticker! P.E.R.F.E.C.T

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Xyron create-a-sticker(s)!  The 5” one is currently one of my most favorite things in my craft room!

Here are the labels that I have available right now.  Be sure to check my shop often, as I’m continually adding more items.

May you be a little inspired!

Until next time,

DaNita
