Wow…I still can’t believe Christmas has come and gone and been almost all put away.  We still have some outdoor lights to take down but hubby has unplugged the lights on the white picket fence and the lighted snowflake icicles hanging from the gutters.  The only thing left lighted out front is the the up-lights [...]

Hubby and I went to Polaris Fashion Place on the north end of Columbus on Saturday so that hubby could go to Lenscrafters for new eyeballs glasses. Whenever we are at Polaris, we try to stop in one of our favorite stores, The Great Indoors.  Love this place.  Everything you could imagine for home decor.  Lamps, [...]

First off, an apology.  I got so carried away with making this, that the tutorial is not as good as it should be.  If you have questions, feel free to ask in the comments and I will elaborate.  I also have to give the darling hubby credit for the general idea.  He is incredibly helpful [...]

I certainly don’t want to downplay the significance of Thanksgiving but I just haven’t been inspired to create anything decorative.  My creative juices are more focused on Christmas.  While I’ve held off as long as possible, I just had to share my recent project.  I’m very sure I’m not the first to start creating Christmas related [...]

Some of you who’ve been with me for over a month may remember the finial I found while thrift store shopping the end of September.  Here is what it looked like then… I even mentioned that it had already received a couple coats of white spray paint and was drying as I wrote that post. [...]

Pin It     I’m sure wreath making is not my forté but since I keep finding the forms pretty cheap, I’ll keep trying.  Here is what I did with some Goodwill and yard sale forms I found. Please note:  While I don’t expect you to find the exact same things I do, I hope [...]

  Last week on a trip to my favorite thrift store, I found a place mat for 25¢.  Well, let me re-phrase that.  I thought I had two place mats.  Even the guy who rang up my order thought I had two.  He was going to charge me for two anyway, until the lady putting [...]

  Apparently, I’ve been on a real craft making kick lately.  I’ve probably done more craft type projects in the last month than I’ve done in the last year.  I guess I can’t help it with all the inspiration I get from visiting all the great link parties out there in blogland.  Since I don’t [...]

  Friday I did some yard sale hopping.  At my second sale I picked up this funky picture frame which totally looks like a haunted house.  I wasn’t completely sure what I was going to do with it, but I bought it anyway. This thing has definitely been floating around since the ’70′s.  Gee, I [...]

  Ever have one of those days where you feel like you hit the jackpot?  I don’t mean the lottery {I wish!!}.  I mean you are looking for something new to get the creative juices flowing.  And you find it…in spades. A couple days ago I made a trip to Dollar Tree.  Love, love, love [...]
