DIY

I love taking something that seemed useless and turning it into something fabulous!  DIY helps fill my need to create.  When I go to thrift stores and yard sales, I get an excited tingle all the way to my toes!  You never know what you might find and the possibilities are endless.  Every time I go to throw something away or put it in the donation pile, I think about what else I may be able to do with it.  I also like to be able to do as much household maintenance myself as possible.  Like the time I changed out our kitchen sink trap!  It was disgusting, but I felt so accomplished knowing I did it myself.  You never know what you might find here, so keep looking!

Mixed Media Spring Decor

Spring has definitely sprung here in the deep south because pollen is everywhere! I decided to make some more spring decor to add to my mantel shelf & fill it in a little more. I’ve already got the mixed media frame up, but I wanted to fill it in a little more on the sides. Although […] Read more…
