The Campout Party

May 2, 2013

My son turned 7 on Monday.  I’m not sure when or how 7 years just passed, but somehow they have. And, the pictures of that baby beside the doorway above have evolved into a really handsome, clever, and spunky young boy. I’ve had some “moments” this week…he’s 7, this year we’ll celebrate our 10th wedding [...]

Allume Pictures and Decor!

November 8, 2012

I said the other day that I didn’t really have any pictures of the decor from Allume, and then ya’ll…sweet Anne from Authentic Simplicity sent me some!  So I wanted to share.  The best part of these is that they didn’t cost much at all! This lamp set-up was on the stage.  We just asked [...]

Super Pretty Pennant Banners!

September 15, 2012

I’ve been quiet around here lately.  No really deep reason, just that I wanted to live without putting pressure on myself to write about it all the time too.  In the past week or so, I’ve spent some good time at home and loved playing water guns with my kids (among other games), refinishing a [...]

Dog Days….of Summer, and of Life!

May 21, 2012

So, It’s been AGES since I’ve written here.  Sorry about that.  I have loads of things to share too….our amazing trip to Mexico, a funny story about how the Arbys lady (who looked like Granny Klampett) tried to save me at the gas pump, pictures of my almost done laundry room and newly painted living [...]

If I had superpowers, today I’d do this stuff…

April 3, 2012

I’ve had to be in bed way too many hours lately, and my creative bone is being forced to rest way more than seems natural.  I’ve been all over the web looking for super fun things to do with my kids this week since it’s spring break.  Of course, they’re now at my mom’s for [...]

What’s Cooking?! Santa Hat Brownie Bites

December 19, 2011

I wish I could claim this idea as my own…but I can’t.  I saw a picture of these adorable santa hat brownie bites somewhere on Pinterest and thought to myself, “I’m making those for sure!”  So, I did….for the party that we had on Friday (which was a great success by the way!) I never [...]

How To…Make a Book Page Wreath

November 21, 2011

I’m up to my eyeballs in Christmas decorations around here. This is the first year EVER that I have even gotten my Christmas stuff down before Thanksgiving.  If I don’t get a jump on it though, there’s no way I’ll get it done in time for the Lily Pottery Jewelry show that I’m having here [...]

The Hazards of Being Crafty….

November 16, 2011

I’ve been doing some crafting here lately.  I picked up 2 old hymnals from an estate sale this past weekend for just 75 cents each, and even though something in me cringed when I started tearing them apart, that’s exactly what I’ve been doing.  I’ve made a wreath, some Christmas ornaments, some flowers, and I [...]

Plumage…

October 19, 2011

Oh Happy Day!  My husband is finally home from pheasant hunting in South Dakota! I’m always glad to see him after he’s been gone of course, but after 5 days of sickness in our house without him around to help out…man, am I glad to have him back.  Of course, Little Bit’s fever broke this [...]
