I love gold and I love polka dots so what better than a project that combines two of my favorite things! A few weeks ago, Lora and I went to an awesome yard sale put on by Repurposed Soul where I picked up this great white ampersand! If you live in the Lexington/Nicholasville, KY area, …

Well, change of plans, folks. Lora’s husband, Mike, was going to be sharing Part 2 of the Window Seat (See Part 1 here) project today — but Lora and I are pretty tough on our deadlines {not really} and he missed it. Not that moving and starting a new job has anything to do with …
As I mentioned last week, my mom and I recently threw a double baby shower for my two sister in laws. The theme of the shower was Bows & Bow Ties since one baby will be a boy and one will be a girl. The shower colors included pastel blue, yellow, and green. To see …
During the summer, I volunteer at my churches Vacation Bible School by teaching crafts to the six year old class. Each year, we take the kids’ pictures and create a picture frame that they can use to hold their yearly VBS pic. This year, I chose to create a fun Photo Booth area in our …
Isn’t Pinterest just so much fun; but so overwhelming, too? I think there might be 8 Million different DIY Wreath ideas on Pinterest. Maybe a few less. But, hey, who’s counting? I needed some small wreaths for my front porch; to hang on these guys: No, they didn’t stay brown. They got a new coat …
While browsing on Pinterest, I came across this fun little craft project by Landee See Landee Do. Her tutorial seemed simple and easy to follow so I gave it a try.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from the Blogosphere and Pinterest – it’s this: You don’t need to be an Artist, to create your own Art. Poetic, right? Springtime puts me in the mood to create. Who am I kidding? I’m always in the mood to be creative! Springtime, Summertime, all the year long. Anywho, …

Last week, I showed you how I made wall art using paint and stickers. This week, I’m going to show you a quick and easy way to make wall art using Mod Podge and scrapbook paper: For this project, you can use any size canvas that you prefer, but I find using one that is …
Count your steps, name them one by one… Ok, maybe that isn’t how the song goes 🙂 But my son has been counting our steps since we finished this little Entry Way project. This was an easy project and quick to install, too. Instructions Measure your stair risers to determine what size number you need …
Lora recently posted about using stickers and a canvas to make wall art. While Lora took an existing piece of art and used it as the base of her project, I decided to start with a blank white 12 x 12 canvas (like this one here). This book is special to me as my high …
My little boy (he mostly just supervised) and I did a little craft project the other night while Mike was out for the evening. I was inspired by this song from Gungor, which we sang in church Sunday morning: “You make beautiful things You make beautiful things out of the dust You make beautiful things …
Lately, I’ve found myself pinning images with these Black Marquee Letters. Such a cool, graphic way to label the In & Out baskets in an office. If you haven’t seen this little Black & White Office from Thistlewood FarmsIt is lovely – and she lives in Kentucky – so that makes her that much more …
While shopping at a Flea Market here in Lexington (the same day I found my Botanical Chart print), I came across this cool stone mold of Kentucky. In case you’re questioning your geography skills (or mine) — yes, the state is backwards — because it is a mold. It cost me $9 which is more …
