#FF Follow Friday Faves!
Happy Friday, everyone! In honor of the end of the work and school week, I thought I'd share with you some of my Follow Friday (#FF) faves! To start out, I love the wire heart ring tutorial by Erlene of My Pinterventures. I never thought I would try to make jewelry, but I might give her rings a try! They are so pretty, and they don't look that difficult to make! Her rings might make nice gifts for my daughters for Valentine's Day!

Sunny & Bright Living Room
*Mohawk Home provided an area rug for this makeover. Hi, everyone! I have been loving my new living room! It has been through quite a transformation. It has gone from an unattractive area with two toy boxes and lots of toys, to a space that actually looks like a grown-up and complete room! My kids, who are now tweens, are enjoying the more sophisticated space, too! Since friends have asked where I found my furniture and decor for my new living room, I've decided to follow the lead of fellow blogger Abby from Just a Girl and Her Blog and create a source list for my new living room.

Now that my children are older, I’ve taken back the space and turned it into a bright and pretty sitting room! To celebrate my home’s beautiful new room, I am Continue reading...
