The past few months have been conflict-ridden and tough tests driven. I'm really not so great at taking time to pamper myself in little ways when things are crazy and stressful. But I'm trying to get better about that... and I'm learning that sometimes it's exactly the little things that make me feel better. So when I was contacted by Katelynn at Diamond Candles about doing a product review and giveaway, I was immediately drawn to the idea. … [Read more...]

April 3, 2013 by · 5 Comments
I had so much fun hosting my Happy Birthday Giveaway! Y'all have some amazing projects on your To Do Lists and now I don't feel quite so bad about my own! I intended to have a furniture makeover for y'all today, but we're now having to make up all those high school soccer games that got rained out last month, so I'm spending time in the bleachers instead of finishing my project. Sorry, darling... I know you're a work in progress, but I … [Read more...]

Thrifty Find Stencil Makeover

Howdy! We're still socked in with gray skies and SNOW FLURRIES here in Atlanta, but I've got a thrifty find makeover that has me ready for spring -- and I think it took about 10 minutes tops! This was one of my February DIYs that had been waiting since about November, when I scored this wooden handled bin at the thrift store for a couple of dollars. I used it in my booth through the holidays to hold books and holiday … [Read more...]

Friday Happy: Catalog Finds {Ballard Designs} & a Little Giveaway
November 9, 2012 by · 17 Comments
Confession: I'm ready to decorate for Christmas. Maybe it's because I've got some Christmas things I've been working on for the booth. Or maybe it's the cold mornings and fires in the fireplace. Or the fact that gingerbread lattes have finally arrived at Starbucks??! Either way, I know my family will revolt if I break out the Christmas tree and decorate the mantel right now, so I'm holding off. So today, we'll go surfing through the … [Read more...]
