Thrifting!!

I finally got to go thrifting! I only went to Goodwill and the Salvation Army, but it was fun!

Square Basket


Pine Crate Thing

Therapy Toys! (Does anyone know how to play that Lilly's 3 For Me game?)

Cute Christmas cookie jar and 6 copper christmas tree cookie cutters and 2 curtain hold-backs
Cute jar...probably will get painted, too Asian for my style

And the creme de la creme....

Check back tomorrow to see what was in the box! (I honestly don't know entirely)

All for less than $25!

Bad Blogger

Sorry, I know I've been a bad blogger, but school has been kicking my butt lately. I did start printing my invites today!

Isn't this adorable?


These are just fake flowers dipped in plaster! Isn't that cool?



Sorry, I had every intention on crafting yesterday...but I've just been kind of "blah" lately and I couldn't pull myself off the couch!

Much love everyone,

Decisions, Decisions, Decisions...

Hey all,
I'm determined to have a handstamped necklace to wear on my wedding...I need to decide soon though!

Suggestions are welcome, but here are the ones I like so far. Opinions?

Of course the 3rd is my favorite, but it's not very dressy.

It would have our names and our wedding date on it.

Sorry!

I know, I've been a horrible blogger this week, but I went home to Nashville to see family and now I am painfully broke! I did get my new Cricut cartridge while I was gone and our first wedding gift!

Homemade Products

Some homemade things I wanna try...


Why? Because I'm allergic to deodorant. Most deodorant has aluminum in it, which is what I'm allergic to. And it can't possible be good for your body!

What you need:

1/4 cup baking soda
1/4 cup corn starch or arrowroot powder
1/4 cup extra virgin coconut oil


Why? Because laundry soap is expensive!

What you need:
1/3 bar of Fels-Naptha or 1 bar of Ivory soap, grated

½ cup washing soda (found in the laundry aisle in most stores - Arm & Hammer makes it)

½ cup borax powder (also in the laundry aisle - look for "20 Mule Team" brand)

~You will also need a small bucket, about 2 gallon size~


Bird Silhouette Art + My Bedroom



I don't have pictures of the steps before this, but I bought picture frames and painted them all black and then cut scrapbook paper to fit each frame (step 1)

Step 2. Then find your image you're going to use for your silhouette. I found googling whatever image you want + color(ing) helps. Coloring sheets have clean simple lines to cut. Also, I recommend printing on cardstock.
Step 3. Cut the little friend out.

Step 4. Paint with black paint.

*bark* *whine* *bark* *whine*
He did this the ENTIRE time!

Step 5. Assemble in frame (I didn't glue or anything, because I like the ability to change out the paper)

Step 6. And finish! (I already had the others done for awhile now)
Yeah...I know bird silhouettes are old news, but I still love them!


Here's an old project I did. They flock each side of the bed and work as night lights.

Fun right?

The whole thing!

Recycled Wall Art

I need to put myself on a one-feature-blog-a-day limit.

...but we're not starting that today!

Look at this...

Beautiful right?

You'll never guess what it is...

TOILET/PAPER TOWEL ROLLS!

Amazing! ...and practically free

I can't wait to make this.

Vacation Rocks


Definitely doing this once we get married. Isn't it cute?

Spring Cleaning!

The gals at Sister's Stuff have been "Cleaning Out" all week and it inspired to do my embarrassment of a pantry. So here it is...in all its shambles


I found this neat container that is going to be used for something...

...and this is what happens when you don't know what's in your cabinet

and this

...and this is what happens with a bag of onions sits in there for God knows how long

...MUCH better!
