DIY Dollar Store Pumpkin ideas.

September 6, 2013 2 Comments

You know I love me some pumpkins, right?  There are plenty on my blog (you can see them here) but I came across a couple that I wanted to share.  Both started out as drab little Dollar Store Pumpkins. Look at these beautiful gilded pumpkins from Karen at Redoux! These guys went from orange to […]

Fall Inspiration using corn husks.

September 5, 2013 Leave a Comment

I think I am really leaning towards a soft and mellow color palette for Fall.  (I had this year’s Christmas colors picked out during last Christmas: white, cream and soft golds.)  So when I saw the beautiful projects Carolyn from Homework did with corn husks, I fell in love.  The color and the texture is […]

Fall Rosette Wreath from The Thinking Closet

September 3, 2013 Leave a Comment

Are you ready for fall?  I am!  Even if it’s still super hot out (and it is) it’s September and my thoughts turn to cozy fabrics, fall colors and lots of texture.  That being the case, I think this lovely felt rosette wreath from The Thinking Closet is perfect! The cream and the warm red […]

A simple trick to clean the leaves of real houseplants.

August 20, 2013 3 Comments

I love having real plants in my home.  They don’t always last a really long time, but I (and my brown thumb) sure enjoy them while they’re healthy.  One of the things I don’t like is that they, along with everything else in our homes, get dusty. I love orchids and have them all over […]

Roasted Starbursts around the campfire? What…?

June 25, 2013 6 Comments

We just got back from our annual camping trip at our favorite place in the world…   One of the things we do there?  Roast Starburst candies. I know it sounds super strange.  I first heard about it from my friend, Xazmin a few years ago.  She said they were wonderful and I didn’t believe […]

Easy antique wash for distressed artwork.

May 9, 2013 4 Comments

I make “subway” or typographic artwork on a fairly regular basis.  I am not too precise about the process, which is why I love the, um, distressed look.  Distressing artwork that is less than perfect covers a multitude of sins and makes it a “I meant to do that” finished product. Here are a few […]

Date night at the Chris Tomlin concert.

May 3, 2013 4 Comments

I like all kinds of music.  If the tune is catchy… if it’s got a good beat and you can dance to it… if it makes you feel something… chances are that I like it.  One of the artists I particularly like is Chris Tomlin, a Christian singer whose songs are often covered by our […]

February 5, 2013 Leave a Comment

I’m really getting excited for SNAP Conference!  I loved my experience last year, and I am soooo looking forward to it again this year.  I know the organizers are working hard to get ready… they’re attending to every detail, both big and small, and trying to plan for every possible contingency to make it a […]

Brownies with Chocolate-Caramel Glaze: A special moment dessert.

June 11, 2012 Leave a Comment

We had some friends over for dinner Saturday night for an easy BBQ.  (It wasn’t a last minute thing, but it wasn’t exactly on the books for weeks either.)    I realized that our friends Rick and Rose both had birthdays this week.  Not wanting to make this A Birthday Party, but still wanting to […]
