Recycled Mailbox Sorter Updated with Hardware My back to school organizing mode has kicked into full swing though! So much to do…school supplies, clothes, event and activity planning. I have a few projects I will be sharing over the coming weeks to help you get organized, of course in a junky fun way. This mailbox…
I have been sitting on this project a while. It was stirring in the back of my head for a long time and Father’s Day pushed the idea out to fruition. I wanted some dates on display. Not just any dates, but the most important dates that have happened in my life. I had some old…
DIY Brooch Bracelet I can remember a brief stint in the late 80’s/early 90’s when I wore a brooch on a scarf. It seems like the same time twistbeads were in style. Did you have those? The necklace where you would twist together a few ropes of beads held together with a fancy clamp. My…
Rag Garland on the cutest Laundry Room Drying Rack It wasn’t a matter of if but more like when. My first “hater” heckle. Anytime you put yourself out there – your thoughts, ideas, projects and opinions – others will have an opinion of you. I knew it was coming. I have to admit I was…
We are all jumpin for joy over here for summertime. The list of goodness is so yummy and fun: A good book to read. Baseball. Sand between your toes. Cold lemonade gulped down in silly straws. Cut off jean shorts. A warm towel to dry off after a cool swim. Road trips. Especially road trips…

Learn how to make beautiful salt shaker tassels using collected salt shakers.

One thing my mom and I have kept our eyes peeled for over the years is salt and pepper shakers. It…
Making our home comfortable for every one in my family is a major goal of mine. I strongly believe everyone should have a space that invites them, makes them feel connected and is totally their own. A safe haven at the end of the day. The kids seem to get their own space with ease….
Do your kids ever inspire you? There are times when I am just blown away by my children’s view on a situation or themselves. They have such precious, innocent, unpolluted thoughts. It is a marvel and really makes the childlike faith talked about in Mark 10:15 understandable. My daughter ran for student council at the…
You may have read last week as I recapped my Spring trips to Round Top. I had one specific item on my shopping list… My daughter had a birthday a few weeks ago. She received my mom’s old iPhone as a gift. Now, this was kind of my idea. I really envisioned her using it…
