I really struggled with my eight year old daughters room and what to put on the large wall above her bed. This is how it ultimately ended up but I did a few things before this that basically had no cost. Read More
Party Favors – Sugar Hand Scrub
I have to admit I got this idea from a gift I received from my daughters teacher – for volunteering. What a great gift! I wanted to ask her how she made it – but I was embarrassed. First of all it’s cute and second its pink! So to find out how she made it I did a search on my own. Not only did I find an awesome recipe I found a great website. Read More

Free Mason Jars? Are You Kidding?
Who doesn’t like mason jars? They are awesome for so many things but when I found out these were free I was just downright embarrassed!
My $27 Makeover
On one of my Goodwill visits I found this desk that was badly beaten up. 
It had a
huge gouge on the top but I knew with some sanding and paint it was going to be a beauty. With dovetailed drawers and even a bottom cedar lined drawer who could pass up $15! On a different visit I found this! Read More
Free Storage Jars
One thing we love in our house is coffee, fresh coffee. We grind our beans every morning so the beans are stored in this glass container next to the coffee maker. I love this container. I wanted to put a similar one in the girls bathroom for storage but one that wasn’t glass, I didn’t want it to shatter in the girls bathroom. The girl’s bathroom is also the main bathroom so it has multiple purposes and it’s not very large. Read More
My $2 Play Stool Makeover
When I made the chalkboard play table, I wanted to make some cute stools for the girls. This table is visible in our house so I wanted the stools to look nice without spending a lot of money. Read More
My Old Wicker Chairs
I remember the day I bought these chairs. We were newlyweds and had just built a house with a big front porch. I miss that porch. Anyway, I saw these Martha Stewart chairs at K-Mart for only $50. I wasn’t expecting them to last very long but they are still hanging in there 10 (or 14) years later. Read More
Painted Hydrangea Centerpieces
We have a huge hydrangea bush at our house and I have never really thought about using them for decorations. Well, maybe for dried arrangements but not fresh. I was trying to think of a 4th of July centerpiece, as I was picking up tree clippings, and saw the hydrangea’s. Just white they are beautiful but since I am a little paint happy lately I wanted to try red and blue. Read More
Blue Bird – Blue Bird
Blue birds remind me of my Grandma. She had these little glass blue birds in her window and I always thought they were so beautiful. My mom has them in her house now and they bring back so many wonderful memories. Read More
