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 [...]

  The hubby and I are not live tree people.  The first year together we bought a live tree.   Apparently neither one of us ever watered it and we both ended up with allergy issues.  Not one of our most favorite memories.  We’ve had artificial trees ever since. Three years ago when we bought [...]

When I mentioned (somewhere, I can’t remember) that I did my Christmas tree in copper and turquoise, the response was “Are you Arizonian?”.  Believe me when I say I’m really wishing I was in Arizona right now. Here in Ohio, the temp is hovering around 32 degrees.  Gives me a shiver just typing that.  Brrrr! [...]

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 [...]

  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 [...]
