Little Peep Birdhouses! [Free Printable & Cutting File]

I think that peeps are just the sweetest thing. I love their bright vibrant colors, the way the herald in spring (almost like the singing of actual, you know, birds.) I love seeing them all nestled in their cellophane at the store- and I love letting them dry out and using them is decor.

Mantel Makeover

I love pinterest. I do. But lately, it had been getting me down. There were all of these beautiful rooms and bedrooms,  with soft colors and classy decor that kept catching my eye. Why is that sad? Because my bedroom is sad in comparison. My hubby and I moved in to this rental house builtRead more

The impossible….

It’s Snowtime!!

Well, its not even Thanksgiving and here in Michigan we’ve seen sleet, hail, and snow all in the past 2 weeks. I, for one, am excited! Snow is one of my favorite indicators that the Holiday season is upon us. I’ve even got some superstitious “Snow Earrings” that I wear to coax the clouds intoRead more

Thanksgiving Favor/Placecard

I really enjoy things that do double duty. Lamp that organizes? Neat. Spatula that also plays music? Awesome. Thanksgiving Favor Box that can be used as a place card? Super cool! This box is very simple to put together. It requires just a smidge of glue, and the bottom folds to hold itself together. OnRead more

Its getting that time again! Thanksgiving is right around the corner. And since we moved into a house with a fireplace mantel, one of my favorite elements to holiday decorating is banners.
