This craft was very last minute. I saw craft while looking for crafts for teenagers. I already had the supplies I needed except star stickers. The day that I chose to do this craft though was a very humid day and I was trying to beat a storm developing after work. I used white spray…

This wreath didn’t quite turn out like I thought it would. I was actually hoping to do something quite different but I couldn’t find what I needed at Michael’s or AC Moore. Instead, I found these country grapes that were red, white, and blue. I also bought a grapevine wreath as well. Taking these grapes,…

I knew exactly what I wanted to do for a centerpiece for the dining room table. I had a vision of red, white, and blue hydrangea bushes placed in a rustic old box in the middle of the table. However, I couldn’t find a box. I tried nudging Chad into making one for me. He…

I don’t work with ribbon too much. I haven’t even made one of these “bubble” wreaths before either. I’ve seen some on Pinterest before and was intrigued on how to make them. I usually do my crafts on the fly and figure them out as I go but I actually took the time to watch…
As mentioned in my previous post for this deck renovation, we started this project in the summer. Probably one of the worst ideas because it happened to be a very HOT summer. I mean in the 90s with heat indexes in the 100s. A lot of sweet tea and lemonade was made for sure! Starting…
A year ago, Chad and I decided to redo our back deck during the summer. The deck boards were weak. So much that I had to gingerly walk across the deck so I didn’t fall through! We also wanted to add another access point out to the yard. We suspected that the deck became weak from…
I wanted to share with you all my craft room progress. This is definitely not the full out craft room tour. Maybe later on, I might have a craft room tour series and reveal everything I have been working to get ORGANIZED. For the purpose of this post, all I am going to show you is what…
I don’t know about you, but I have a hard time keeping the house cleaned during the week coming home after a full day of work. I’m tired, I don’t feel like standing anymore, and the last thing I want to do is create more mess that I have to clean up later. So what do I do?…
So I have downloaded this app called Shopkick. The one thing I noticed when I got this app, it requires you to share your location so it can determine your location relative to stores participating in shopkick specials. That is why I only turn on my location when I know I’m going to use this…
One of the biggest conflicts that divides churches today is whether to sing hymns or contemporary worship music. I’ve actually seen churches have separate worship services to appeal to those that rather sing traditional hymns and contemporary christian music also known as CCM. Maybe the younger generation thinks hymns are boring and maybe the older generation still…
