My Book Staircase
One day skimming through Pinterest I came across the idea to make your staircase look like a stack of books, and I decided I didn’t even want carpet on my stairs. I want books.

Mystery Machine Little Tykes Remake (An Eventful Summer)
It has been an insanely busy summer. We traveled a lot, and I spent a lot of time planning for a personal goal (I hope to have ready to launch in the next two weeks). We went to New Orleans in early August, and a few weeks later we drove down to Florida and enjoyed…

At the Movie Theater Concession Stand Halloween Costumes
Halloween is over all ready. November 1 starts my unofficial boycott of Christmas. Not that I have anything against Christmas. I love it! But I’m sure like many others, I like to enjoy the fall and Thanksgiving, rather than rush into the holiday. It gets old by the time December 25th comes around. So my…

Using Transfer Paper to Make Freezer Paper Shirts
I went on a bit of a shirt making kick. I made maternity shirts, the baby shirts, and shirts for my husband, father, father-in-law, and brothers-in-law for Father’s Day. I learned quite a bit making them, and I like how they all turned out. I made the baby a shirt for the 4th of July…

Jack’s Room: 3 Must Have’s for a Baby’s Room

Love Letters
I love decorating for each holiday, especially because it gives me a reason to be crafty. The love letters are the easiest Valentine’s Day decorations you could possibly make. They are very similar to the Noel letters I made for Christmas. Here, I used a sequence heart for the O in LOVE, and Mod Podged scrap…

Quick and Easy Valentine’s Day Wreaths
I’m trying to keep to my new year’s wreath resolution with a Valentina’s day wreath. Usually, I just have a branch heart wreath on the door, but that isn’t as fun as making something. I made two different wreaths, the first is a topsy, turvey owl frame. I painted a laser cut wood frame and…

My Wreath Resolution
I already started my wreath goal with the help of team punctuation. We made burlap rose wreaths. They were pretty easy (right ;?) but making all the roses is time consuming. There are about 6-7 large roses and 8-9 small roses on each wreath. I had to hold Alexis hostage so she could help us…
