This was such a quick and easy project that I forgot to take photos along the way! I use champagne buckets as planters or floral containers all the time. They’re simple metal containers that I abuse until they look like this… Sometimes I leave them like this for a vintage-y look, but other times I […]
A simple Valentine’s Day mantel.
I wanted to show you what I came up with for a little Valentine’s Day display for my nemesis, the mantel. I have the worst time with the proportions of this room, but I’m fairly happy with this fun and simple Valentine’s Day Mantel. I don’t have anything against Valentine’s Day in particular, but I don’t […]
Texture, color and inspiration at the CHA winter show.
Remember last week when I told you about the Top 5 craft products that I (personally) was all excited about after the CHA (Craft & Hobby Association’s) Winter Trade Show? Well, I had also been feeling a smidge a wee bit kind of fairly uninspired as of late. (Yesterday I shared the AWFUL areas […]
Mocha Brownie Tart – yummy in my tummy.

Simple Christmas planters. (Using Christmas tree clippings.)
I have mentioned how much I love me some sticks, but I also love Christmas Tree lots and their bounty of free evergreen clippings! Even if your family has an artificial tree, you can still cruise by the lot and ask for some of the extra Christmas tree clippings. Your local lot is busy selling […]

This cute Christmas topiary made from yarn is easy to do and fun to make. Several of them together make a cute centerpiece. Seriously, if this takes you longer than 5 minutes to put together I would be very surprised.
Holiday decorating using your own photos.
If you’re like me, you love photos of your friends and family around you. If you’re like my husband, you complain that you can’t move around the house for fear of knocking over row after row of framed photos like so many dominoes. Compromise! Practicality wins out, except during the month of December. I bring […]
Thanksgiving Wrap Up: Dinner, Decor and the Thanksgiving Table
Nothing makes me happier than having friends and family around during the holidays. The more, the merrier! (And I love, love, love how my Thanksgiving table turned out.!) Painted pumpkins, greenery from the yard and candles made it gorgeous.
Dreaming of a blue and green Christmas.
I looooove Christmas time! I start thinking about my color scheme and decor for the coming year on January 2nd… (as I pack up my holiday decor from the current year.) It’s a bit of a sickness, really. This year I am going with frosty silvers and white, like I did in 2010…. ….but I […]
