I love glitter! Do you remember glitter art projects when you were a kid? My recollections are that glitter projects were always done at school, and back then there was only red, green, gold or silver glitter to choose from. I, of course, had to use them all. It wasn’t until I became a mom […]

Stacked Wood Valentine Decor
In a household of guys it has sometimes been a challenge expressing my girly-girl personality. My favorite color is pink, and for some reason that color always gets shot down when suggested for room decor.

I love looking through home decorating magazines, home interior stores and high-end department stores, but I’m realistic enough to know the closet I will get to owning any of that beautiful eye-candy is if I make it myself. This shabby chic birdcage is my knockoff of one I found while window shopping one day. I […]

The circles were hot […]

I was putting away my Christmas decorations the other day… Okay, that’s a lie…Let me rephrase that. I was thinking about putting away my Christmas decorations the other day…(Better?)…when the wood bead garland distracted me. The red beads kick-started my imagination since I have been brainstorming Valentine’s Day ideas for quite a while. The red […]
