I don’t know about you, but I love fruit! I love this time of year because the fruit is actually fresh and there is so much more variety. We would just put our fruit on top of the microwave, not very cute. So I came up with this idea. I just took a bowl that…

Tutorial Tuesday: 1 fabric, 3 decorations
My 5 year old has been asking for a Spiderman room, so lately I have been focusing on his (and his brother’s) rooms and decorating them. I found this fabric at Walmart and decided to do lots with it. First I made a little board for his art. I made it because I really get…

Whatever Wednesday: Wedding on a budget
2 weeks ago I was asked by some missionaries to decorate for a wedding of an investing couple. Without really thinking, I told them yes. Then I realized that I was doing. I panicked! Luckily I have this blog because I wrote a post and you all came to the rescue! So thank you!! One…
Tutorial Tuesday: Family Sign
Way back in September I went to one of those vinyl lettering parties. I love the look of the last name in bold letters and then “families are forever” on top of it. So I went to party thinking I would finally get one, until I saw that it would cost $30!! Since then I’ve…
Motivate me Monday #11
Another great week!! Lots of great ideas. It’s getting harder and harder to not just post 50 pictures, but I do have to limit myself. So here a few that are just awesome! The ladies at Lemon Tree have some great things, including this book wall art. Isn’t it just so cool! Cassity from Remodelaholic…
Whatever Wednesday: Spiderman Frames
For several months now, my 5 year old has been wanting me to decorate his room with Spiderman. I have been looking everywhere for cheap decorations, but of course you can’t buy them, you have to make them. So when I saw these place mats in the Target dollar bins (I love those bins, I…
Tutorial Tuesday: Spring Decoration
I have not been a big holiday decorator. I have decorated for Christmas and that’s about it. Well since I’ve started this blog and seen how people decorate and that you can do it without breaking the bank, I’ve decided to decorate a little more. One big reason that I don’t like about decorating is…
Motivate me Monday #10
Wow another great party ladies!! I cannot believe what you come up with, it just boggles my mind! It’s just amazing! I seriously love looking through all of your ideas. If you haven’t notice, lately I’ve been in a decorating mood. The next few weeks are going to have several decorations that I have done…
Whatever Wednesday: Yarn Wreath
I have seen lots of people wrap things with twine and string. I have a ton of yarn, so I thought that I would give it a try. I just took a floral wreath that I got from the dollar store and started wrapping. It was fun. My two younger boys even helped. I would…
Tutorial Tuesday: Finally a decoration for my mantle
I have lived in my house for two years and have not put a single decoration on my mantle. I have put a lot of other things one it (flat surfaces sometimes collect junk in my house), just not decorations. Well when I finally got to the Dollar Tree, the closest one is an hour…
Motivate me Monday #9
I had over 100 links last week and it was so great looking through all of your ideas! I love all the ideas that I get and the projects that I plan on doing (my husband on the other hand, doesn’t so much love it 🙂 ). Here are a few of them that really…
Whatever Wednesday:Gift Box, St. Patrick’s Day
Now that it is about time for St. Patrick’s Day, it’s about time for me to switch my gift box decorations. Now that St. Patrick’s Day is only two weeks away, this will probably be my only decoration (at least I have one, right?) I’m really loving this whole gift box decor, it’s so cheap,…
Tutorial Tuesday: A Free Dry Erase Board
A couple of weeks ago something happened in my kitchen, I don’t know what or who did it, but my super cute dry erase board that my mom gave me fell and broke. So I had planned on making something else, possibly a ribbon board and dry erase board combo. The problem, I really really…
Motivate me Monday #8
I love Mondays, I can just sit back and see what everyone has done. There were some really great things last week. There were two that really spoke to me and made me start creating that day (more to come on that on Tuesday). So here is some of the greatness! I know that this…
