While it doesn’t really capture things in bloom, I had fun figuring out how to display the flowers on the window and just wanted something simple for a few months. I know the print is a little small for the space, but I loved how it blended in with the colors. I planned to add … Continue reading
At the last minute we decided to have a Memorial Day party this year. As usual, I pulled about 100 ideas from Pinterest, chose 4-5 I could actually tackle and tweaked a bit. Thought it would be fun to share how those turned out. Had one of those a-ha moments when I realized that those … Continue reading
That transition from Christmas to January is always a little painful – especially when everything has been so bright and colorful and suddenly seems so…blah. But thanks to Mom, this past year I had a little extra new year inspiration. She’d run across two window panes in storage that she’d never gotten around to using. … Continue reading
Every Christmas I try to send my favorite Aunt and slew of cousins a unique themed gift. Since it’s a fairly large group, I also try to get creative (e.g. cheap…homemade!) when I can. I’d seen lots of cute Reinbeer ideas on Pinterest and was inspired. But wanted to add a personal touch. After … Continue reading
My kiddos are all four-legged with fur, so baby showers are often out of my league. BUT for this particular shower, the parents-to-be were HUGE Star Wars fans, so the challenge was on as to how to incorporate a theme I could relate to with Baby Girl pink and white. And did I mention that … Continue reading
I wanted to build something around the glass windows my mom loaned me. My sweet husband carved me a tree – yep, just scooted on into the garage after I showed him something on Pinterest and customized one for me. Seemed perfect for Valentines/Spring. The ever-handy Target lanterns and Luminarc candles flocked nicely with silver and … Continue reading
In addition to loving fall because we finally get a break from our 100+ degree Texas weather, I heart college football. To get our heads right for the season, I decided to pull out some vintage Baylor Bear football pics of my grandfather, GB Jordan. Those were just naturals when I added them to … Continue reading
Once again, taking a cue from Pinterest, I decided to use the rustic window that my Dad found at an antique shop for $10, for our summer mantel. So many creative pinners inspired me by enlarging personal photos to fit into the panes, so off I went to choose one of our Yellowstone picnic pics from 2012 for the project. … Continue reading
Normally I get depressed when it’s time to take down Christmas decorations, but putting together a January mantel shifted my focus. I was a bit burnt out on bright reds and greens, so something clean and white just seemed right. My Target mirror was happy to stay in the mix (minus the Oh, Holy Night … Continue reading
From time to time, I definitely spend waaay too much time on Pinterest. Like most of us, I have tons of pins that I’ve never actually done anything with. However, sometimes I take one of those and do a little thing I like to call Spinterest-which just means I adapt whatever I’ve seen to use whatever I have (or whatever I … Continue reading
