My Life as a DIY Wannabe
So a few weeks ago I found this little gem on Pinterest… Parson chair bling for the upcoming holiday season. Seemed like an easy enough project to jazz up my dining room! Here’s a before shot… yep, a blank canvas that’s ready for a little love! So I gathered my supplies: three packages of 9 [...]
Tis’ the season to deck the halls and trim the tree! Since I’m putting some finishing touches on my decorations tonight, I thought I’d share my progress… with the help of my adorable helper! I just LOVE seeing the joy of Christmas through a child’s eyes! She was such a BIG helper in hanging ornaments [...]
I thought I would share with you some inspirations for my upcoming Christmas decor since it’s almost officially December. I’m excited to rummage through my basement to find a couple of key pieces from the past, and then fill in the gaps with some cool new art projects. My new obsession for saving all of [...]
I’m trying to decorate on a budget for the holidays and wanted to design something to spread love and cheer throughout my home. So what’s better than mistletoe, right? But not just any little mistletoe, an oversized collection of mistletoe balls! Pretty cute, huh? The project was inexpensive and easy to make, perfect for the [...]
As most of you know I have an (almost) 4 year old miracle named Ellie. She’s in preschool and LOVES math and anything to do with numbers.

As the holidays are fast approaching, I decided it was time to settle down and get organized! Since gift wrapping is my biggest nemesis, I started there. While at Target last week I picked up one of these tin buckets for $2.50. I gathered all of my supplies… rolls of wrapping paper I’ve collected from Target, [...]
Oh how I love the Dollar Store! While wandering aimlessly through the aisles the other day to kill some time, I spotted some 9ft tinsel garlands that were screaming for a cheap project. I scooped up 4 garlands (2 red and green, 2 red and gold). I found some cheap cardboard cones from Michael’s in [...]
My good friend from J’Lynn Photography gave me this wonderful idea! In the past she printed some of her fabulous photos on decorative metal cutouts and used them as decor around her home. It got me thinking… I love how these puppies are versatile: hang on some hooks or a corner of mirror, display them [...]
A couple of weeks ago I posted about a seashell wreath I created when we returned home from our vacation in Panama City Beach, FL. I loved this idea: use seashells to create a craft and lasting memory of our week in paradise. I still had a couple of smaller shells leftover that I wanted [...]
