I love Dollar Store projects, don’t you? I made some Hot Air Balloon decorations from Chinese Lanterns, Candy Cups and Ribbon from the Dollar Tree! I made several to use at a shower celebration, the more you make the cheaper they are per item. Details on the blog!
How to display vacation photos is not something I usually think about. Many times I do a photo book upon returning, but while visiting Cape Cod with my daughter Jamie, I collected sand, rocks and shells. I wanted to display these along with a favorite photo in a shadow box that fits with my decor. I’ll show you how I made a rustic shadow box using an IKEA ribba shadow box.
Reclaimed artwork doesn’t generally come with a frame. While vacationing in Cape Cod with my daughter Jamie in late June, I actually picked up three pieces of reclaimed art. This sweet painting of three sandpipers scurrying on the beach is done on a piece of scrap plywood. The artist is John Bates of Provincetown Massachusetts….
I am so excited to share this month’s Power Tool Challenge project. The theme was Summer Fun, and I DID struggle with trying to figure out WHAT to make. But when I figured it out, I ran with it and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out! I made a portable diy pallet bar. It’s so easy to set up, store and transport for on-the-go parties and functions. I did a little video so you can see exactly how easy it sets up.
Y’all, t’s been hot, too hot to work on any projects outside. Last month we had some slightly cooler temps, soI had some time to work on a couple of projects. I took the time to do a little video of how the Homeright Rapid Clean system works with a garden hose to clean my…
What? I didn’t know anyone needed a DIY outdoor buffet! But, oh you do if you love to grill out! Reclaimed lumber
How to quickly and easily put together outdoor party decorations with Krylon ColorMaster. When Krylon offered to send me some of their ColorMaster spray paint to use for a party, of course I said yes! In fact, I was so excited, that I built a new potting bench. I started spraying some of my items…
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Miracle-Gro for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. Doing projects and pretty flowers are two of my favorite things. When Miracle-Gro offered to help me throw a backyard bbq and host a planting party, I was thrilled! But, I have to be honest, this…
Have you seen the wooden beverage tags online? I saw where Morgan made some out of paint sticks. I pinned them on my to do board. Hers were inspired by Ballard Designs. While talking to Rose on the phone, she mentioned that Pottery Barn had some chalkboard tags. I decided to do several different versions….
If you’re new around here, you may not know that I lost a tree in June 2011. It busted up my privacy fence. And yep, it fell on my house. Last fall I dismantled just enough of the old fence to make a sign for the guest room. Bushel and a Peck was the song…
Did you notice from the wedding photos that there were no flowers? Jamie opted for succulents instead. Hens and Chicks to be exact. This is one of my all-time favorite photos of my Nana, (my mom’s mom). Can’t you just imagine her hollering out the window at one of these Harrison Hoodlums . . ….
I think I’m almost done showing you the items I used for Jamie’s Bridal Shower. Today I’m going to show you how I made some small faux drawers. They even fooled Jamie. She asked me where I got the little drawers, and I told her I made them. I went through my “stash” and found…
I made these cute treats for the guests at Jamie’s Bridal Shower. Ingredients: 2 bags of Candy Melts 1 bag of Chow Mein Noodles Cocoa Riced Cereal 1 Bag Cadbury Mini Eggs These are the ingredients I gathered. I had no idea how much I would need. What I have was way too much!…
I have been very busy in the last few weeks with projects, but nothing I could show you BEFORE the shower. I wanted the details to be a surprise for Jamie. I have a lot of great blog friends. Most are DIY bloggers that I go to when I need advice with a project. However…

Jamie told me that she would love to have some chalkboard speech bubbles for the photo booth at her wedding. I had a lot of scrap luan laying around the garage, and we had temps around 50 one day recently, so I got to work. Scrap plywood pieces I gathered my scraps of wood,…
