Since I broke my wrist just over a week ago, I haven't been working on many projects - I've mostly been icing and resting my wrist, which now has a metal plate and 12 screws in it, thanks to my lovely mishap! Sigh! But my hubby and kids have been so sweet to me (they are the best!), that I just had to show my appreciation! So when I was doing a mini shopping trip at my local Walmart the other day, I picked up some supplies in their crafting section to make an easy and quick framed burlap Valentine's Day collage. Making My Valentine's Day Collage The collage is about the only thing Continue reading...

Lemon, Orange and Vinegar Microwave Cleaner
Over the past few months, I have been trying to make the switch from commercial cleaning and beauty products to more natural (and less expensive) homemade ones. That is why I am excited to join some of my blogging friends in sharing our own recipes for beauty and cleaning products! For my product I decided to make an all-natural microwave cleaner. Natural Microwave Cleaner When I clean the microwave, I usually fill a microwavable bowl halfway full with vinegar, microwave it for 1-2 minutes and immediately scrub down the microwave. It works like a charm! I have to tell you, though, that my Continue reading...
Dollar Store Valentine’s Day Centerpiece
Now that I have taken down all the Christmas decorations, my home was looking a little empty! So I decided to get to work decorating for the next holiday ... Valentine's Day! I spotted some great supplies at my local dollar store that I thought I could use to make a beautiful Valentine's Day centerpiece. So I picked up a class candle holder, a heart-shaped glass dish, a red scented candle and some plastic heart scatters -- all for just over $4! I had some Gorilla Glue on hand, so I decided to use that to glue my glass dish to my glass candle holder. Gorilla Glue is very strong -- I've used Continue reading...

Great Giveaways This Week
I am a BIG fan of blog giveaways! One reason is because I've had so much success with entering giveaways this year -- I've won a Kindle Fire HD, my blog redesign and The Pioneer Woman Cooks: A Year of Holidays and a Cuisinart CSB-76BC SmartStick 200-Watt Immersion Hand Blender. . The giveaways are easy to find and enter -- all I do is read the blogs I already love to read, and enter the giveaways on my favorite blogs by entering my email address, liking their pages on Twitter, Pinterest and Facebook, etc. Entering giveaways on blogs is so much better than entering national giveaways Continue reading...
Happy National Rubber Ducky Day
I bet you didn't know it, but today is a special day! That's because it is officially national rubber ducky day! I didn't know about the holiday until just a few days ago, but I am sure glad that I found out! I have been a fan of the rubber ducky ever since I saw Jim Henson's Ernie sing the rubber ducky song on Sesame Street on TV. I sang that song all the time as a child! I used to sing the song to my kids when they were tots, and my daughters told me they always loved when I sang that song! I never knew all the lyrics to the rubber ducky song, but now I do! RUBBER DUCKIE Ernie Continue reading...
West Elm Yellow, Brown and Gray Living Room
I am hoping to redecorate my home's living room, and I am so excited! For my Christmas gift, my husband made me a popsicle stick sofa (so cute) and said I could go shopping for a sofa. I can't wait! I've done a little shopping so far, and at the moment, I am crushing on West Elm! I love their modern color schemes and their small-scale furniture, which should work for my small living room. I am loving a yellow, brown and gray color scheme. I have my eye on the Paidge sofa. Isn't it cute? At 72.5"w x 38.5"d x 34.5"h., I think it would fit well in my home's small 20 foot x 10 foot living Continue reading...

Creating Photo Books at a Discount
© Pbclub | Dreamstime Stock Photos & Stock Free Images My husband is an avid photographer, so whenever we go anywhere, he takes lots and LOTS of pictures. Which is great, because I love preserving memories of my kids and all the fun things we do together. One way I do that is by creating custom photo books by designing photo books online and then having them printed and shipped to me, which is a really quick and easy way to preserve photo memories! One place I like to create my photo books is at York Photo. Photo Mementos When my husband and I have photos of events we've shared with Continue reading...
