The Writing On The Wall (and the stairs)

I thought I'd show you some places where I've either used a wall decal or where I've painted sayings onto the wall. This is in our master bathroom and it's what you see when you step out of the shower. A reminder to "Seize the Day". I painted it the same way I did on this sign. I painted this a year ago above a chalkboard I painted. We have family movie night every Friday. So this is ... Read More about The Writing On The Wall (and the stairs)

What’s In Your Purse and a Few Awards

Abigail tagged me to show my purse and what's in it. She said that she "thinks I'm creative and can't wait to see what kind of purse I have".

He buys all my purses because I honestly could care less - I'm so not ... Read More about What’s In Your Purse and a Few Awards

I had so much fun making a Valentine Tree yesterday! I think this would be great project to do with the kids!First I took a couple of boxes out of the recycling to use. I got this idea from Cherry at Cherry's Jubilee. She made some stars at Christmas and used an old cereal box. I never got around to doing that project but I thought it would be perfect for this project (or you could use cardstock). ... Read More about The Valentine Tree – VDay Pt. 2
