I love the Fall, and decorating this time of year is one of my favorite things to do. As I sweep the porch, and hang up my autumn wreaths I like to not only decorate the outdoor areas, but bring some of the beautiful colors from nature into my home. After the garlands are hung
With Holiday entertaining around the corner, and football season upon us, I was reminded yet again that it would soon be time to use my eyesore of a card table. Being a lover of spray paint, hot glue and all things frugal and crafty, I knew I could bring her back to her glory days.
I will be the first to admit that I have way to much scrapbook paper, and find myself completing zero scrapbooking activities. However, I hope to redeem myself, or at least justify my paper-hoarding slightly by using some of these beautiful scrapbook papers from JoAnn’s to make this upcycled paper lantern. I have a kind of
This time of year I love to stock my freezer full of easy to prepare meals for busy nights and adjusting to busier days again. This casserole is Gluten Free as well, but if you are not gluten-sensitive feel free to substitute the rice noodles for wheat. This casserole is not only budget-friendly but fast
Making a few new pieces of jewelry always gets me excited about the next season around the corner. Working retail for years may have very well helped rob me of enjoying a full summer. By the time that mid to late July arrives, I am shopping for new boots online, and designing a few new
It’s hard to think about getting ready for back-to-school days again, but they are approaching faster than we realize! Even though we home school, getting organized and stocking up is deeply ingrained and just part of my routine, it keeps me sane, or close to it. I am not super-organized but I do like to know where
Once I realized I was going to have to remove gluten from my diet, I could not imagine what I was going to eat, or what this would do to my food budget. So, I have spent the past eight months converting every recipe I love to something that my body loves too, and sharing
I had so much fun making Chalkboard Labels recently, that I had to share with you this carved board I picked up thrifting and turned it into, what else, a chalkboard. But this time I included one of my favorite and fast ways to make a cute paper bunting to go along with my new memo board.
Last week we broke our record of 295 with 324 Link Ups!! AWESOME!! When I want to follow a blog the first thing I look for is GFC (Google Friend Connect), it’s so easy and it’s nice to be able to go and see all of the blogs you follow in one spot. It’s really
I may be a Yankee born and bred, but I think there is a Southern cook in there trying to get out to serve up some homemade macaroni and cheese as often as possible. As usual, I put together something even those of us with a gluten intolerance can enjoy, wear your eatin’ pants folks, this is
I am so excited to share one of my favorite cookie recipes with you today, and a bright spray-painted cookie stand to display your fresh-baked treats! Are you ready to indulge? Let’s get started… I started out with what looked like a small pizza pan at the thrift store for .75, and a lone summer goblet
After enjoying a sunny afternoon at our local outdoor farmer’s market, I was inspired to come home and design a quick bag that I would be able to use for a purse or a catch all for my market finds. This tote bag is fully lined and machine washable (if you use washable fabrics) and was
I will admit that I may possibly have too many (is that possible?) do-it-yourself chalkboards around our house but I love them! While organizing home office/craft room supplies I realized I was in serious need of labels for my containers. If you don’t have a Silhouette or Cricut, no need to worry, these labels are easy
Hop over to PJH Designs for a chance to win this roundup of Vintage goodies! I love this chalkboard with scrolly blue frame!!! Tanya 🙂
Blueberries, lemons & cream cheese…does it get any better? This little cake comes together fast, and the homemade lemon frosting is just right to make this an easy but delicious summer dessert. I like to serve citrus desserts since they have a wonderful way of cleaning the palate after a meal. I will admit, I

It’s hard for me to pass up a great deal when I see potential, this was definitely the case with what I assume was a promotional item donated to the local thrift store. I found some spray paint with a hammered metal finish that can be used on plastic and other surfaces as well, and had some
Slow cooker’s aren’t just for cold weather soups and roasts anymore! I love to use my slow cooker for making big batches of this delicious, tender pulled pork year round. Not only does this come together in minutes, but it is a great camping recipe or freezer recipe for freezer cooking too. I began making
Stumbled across this fabulous subscription opportunity this evening and had to pass it along. I adore all of the color, hot accessories, fashion, it is just so chic! http://www.highglossmagazine.com/ Have a wonderful day, blessings, Tanya 🙂
