There are so many traits that I inherited from my mother. That being said, there is one HUGE one that I did NOT get from her… That is her incredible talent for wrapping gifts. She seriously is one of the best gift wrappers that I have ever know. I’ve frequently told her she needs to […]
“Isn’t it ironic? Don’t ya think? A little too(ooooooo) Ironic.” Speaking of irony, I always get a kick out of titles that substitute “K” for “C”. I find it more than slightly obnoxious (hence the Alanis Morissette quote). Every day I walk past things like “Kiddie’s Korner” and “Krab meat” and… well… quite frankly… the […]
I gave up my facebook approximately 19 days, 7 hours and 25 minutes ago. But who’s counting. 19 days, 7 hours and 25 minutes ago, I felt free. I felt like I would have all of this time to do things that I’ve been procrastinating on because so-in-so posted pictures of her adorable child, or […]
Yesterday was one of those days. Do you know what I mean? Not only did I give a presentation to a group of people who could’ve cared less if I would have fallen through the floor… but I got flipped off driving home. It was one of those days. It rained today. It rained like all day […]
Ever since Lena posted this about new uses for wine corks, I have been itching to make something myself out of them. So, after six months of saving up and asking everyone I know for their old wine corks, I finally did it! I was perusing Pinterest Friday night and came across this… I figure […]
It’s fall which means that one of my favorite fruit is now in season… caramel apples. I am convinced that before the fall of man, caramel apples grew on trees. I mean why not? They are heavenly, aren’t they? And I mean you can’t feel guilty for eating 3 or 4 of them… you gotta […]
Do you remember my basement dilemma? I’ve had a few ideas but haven’t completely figured out what way I wanted to go. I’ve been thinking and pinning and finally… I took the plunge this weekend… I started painting. And I painted. And painted. And went to Menards. And sanded. And painted. And guess what? There’s still a […]
Happy Monday my friends. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Mine was chalk full of DIY projects… none that I completely finished. Hah! I did however, manage to make it to Kroger, Aldi, Menards and Walmart all in one day… aren’t you jealous? So, I’m here to tell you about something that is […]
My sweet in-laws gave us many beautiful starter furniture pieces when we moved into our house… FOUR years ago. As time has moved along most pieces have either moved onto Craigslist heaven or have been repurposed in someway. Everything that is but a “lovely” brass floor lamp which has been tucked away in our guest […]
I mentioned here about a little project that J has been working on… and even though he’s not quite finished with it, I just HAD to post about it. J worked for about 3 weeks on this table, from sketching out the design to actually working in the shop to build it. I should start […]
