There have been a number of chalkboard projects flying around our house lately. Chalkboards aren’t exactly new, but they really are so much fun! Especially when it’s a huge chalkboard with huge chalkboard lettering going on! A while back I was picking the kids up from school when a giant stack of window screens begged me to…
Christmas day is rapidly approaching and I am prayerful you all are prepared with a warm heart to celebrate Jesus’ birth. If all is on track you would have read Chapters 16 through 20 this week in our book. The Greatest Gift by Ann Voskamp. (affiliate link) You can catch the other weeks here: Introduction,…
I held off as long as I could…the kids were chomping at the bit to decorate for Halloween. I made them wait for October 1st. When I was little I was just like them, always anxious to decorate for the upcoming holiday season. Honestly, I still feel the same way, finding time just gets harder as you…

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 Necktie Art As I sit and write this I am looking out over a calm, gently lapping lake. The breeze is cool and the air is filled with what seems like a hundred different songs. Its morning and the birds are busy. This peaceful setting is a gift from one of my precious friends….

Maps intrigue me. I miss the day when the front seat was filled with an oversized, impossible to fold back the right way good old fashioned road map. I get the benefit of gps navigation and having that mysterious voice echo through your car, “turn left in one mile.” But with a paper map you…
We are a Nascar family. My husband was introduced to the sport years and years ago by my dad. They have enjoyed many a car race together. The races never fail to entertain – who gets the pole, what’s the point structure this season, who wrecked who, did they pass inspection? It is a regular…
My major in college was Industrial Distribution. What is that you ask? Basically it is an engineering business degree. Sounds odd I’m sure for an artsy type girl. Anyway, one of my favorite classes was fluid dynamics. I’m sure this is the perfect opportunity to insert some kind of bar/drinking college joke, but I will…
The majority of the time I seek out projects and junk to reinvent. But, every once in a while a project seems to seek me out. The hunter becomes the hunted. In some unusual way something gets put before me that I wasn’t expecting and BOOM! I have a new task at hand. That was…
