visiting living savvy – memo board

December 21, 2011 3 Comments

Good morning! How is everyone doing today? I'm hurting from a very productive day yesterday. Baseboards were painted, tile was installed (almost done!) and a few crafts were completed too. Overall is it was a great day. I may need a few extra cups of coffee to get going today but I'll get there...I hope ;)I'm excited to be over at Living Savvy today showing one of the crafts I just recently created. Tiffany has an amazing style and equally amazing blog. If you haven't been there, please go check … [Read more...]

Hope you are all having a fine Saturday. I'm taking a break from this weekend's project list to visit with Tammy at Type A Decorating.

fall decor on the cheap – fall centerpiece

November 16, 2011 8 Comments

I've never really spent much money decorating for fall. By the time I recover from Halloween it feels like Christmas is just around the corner and it seems pointless. As I started pulling out my decorations I realized with a few modifications, Christmas decor can quickly turn to fall decor and vice versa. I took out my trusty red table runner and three vases I had on hand from a bridal shower I threw years ago. Tip for cheap vases - find a local wholesale floral distributor. I bought 12 of these … [Read more...]

stencil time – martha stewart stencils

November 15, 2011 11 Comments

A few months back, a bunch of bloggers were receiving a stash of the new Martha Stewart craft paint and stencil collection. I will admit, I was insanely jealous. A ton of free paint, stencils and tools to try out. Are you serious? Why can't I be a big blog and get those?Instead, I relied on my trusty coupons from Michaels and ended up with my own little stash. Okay, so it wasn't free and didn't show up on my doorstep without ordering but I'm fine with that. Alright, alright, maybe I do want free … [Read more...]

time for fall – grapevine wreath

November 4, 2011 3 Comments

I tried to not waste any time going from Halloween to "Fall" decor. South Florida really has no Fall but I should probably retire the bat wreath for a something a bit more in line with Thanksgiving. When I was wandering around Micheal's right before Halloween they were having a super sale and I had a great coupon to go along with it. I bought these three mini grapevine wreaths and fake flower/seed things for under $4. Score!So I didn't find a huge wreath but that doesn't mean it can't look good … [Read more...]
