Delicious Recipes to Keep my Family of Four Happy and Full
I was cruising around Pinterest the other day and stumbled across a great project that I knew I had to try: chalkboard paint dipped wine glasses.
First, I grabbed one of the wine glasses from our caterer’s box set.

Today’s guest post comes from another blogger that I adore: Karah from the space between. Last month, she did an awesome feature called Imagine the Possibilities where she managed to hang a gallery wall with only one screw. Awesome, right? My plan to participate went pretty far (I actually got fabric for my curtains) but then got derailed a little bit by an unplanned hospital visit for my mom. The challenge was still awesome though because I did move forward and start working on my project even if I didn’t finish it by the 1/31 “deadline”.
Thanks for the challenge and a big thanks for being here Karah!

PLEASE NOTE: As a guest poster I have written this post prior to the actual playing of the Superbowl and understand it will not be published until after the big game. So, depending on what happened, let’s all say one big Hooray! for the Pats win. 🙂
Here’s what I did:
Optional: if you use paper to print the graphic on then you’ll need a piece of thin cardboard for sturdiness…I used the piece of cardboard that comes behind a package of scrapbook paper.

Yep, more Valentine’s Decorating! This one was a quick craft I did with H. She had seen some of my glittery scrapbook paper in the craft stuff I was moving around and wanted to do something with it.
I had pinned this framed glitter heart awhile back and thought it might be a good starting point for our paper.

A blogger friend of mine, Karah, is part of a great project for the month of January called Imagine the Possibilities
If you know me {or visit here often}, you know that there is one major thing I generally avoid. No, it isn’t laundry {even though I have been known to try my best to avoid that}! It is sewing. I don’t sew…anything. I even beg my mother in law to sew buttons back onto my kids clothing.
So, you can imagine that the idea of sewing my own curtains is a pretty daunting task. I took a major step over the week though towards tackling this project. I bought fabric! In fact, I bought all of the fabric I would need to do the curtains which means there is no turning back.
I also did a little research to make sure I’d be ready when the sewing machine arrives. Thanks to House of Hepworths, I have some pretty detailed pictures to follow!
So, what is your biggest challenge? Want to join us as we Imagine the Possibilities?

On Friday, I shared a recent jewelry storage solution I made over at Literally Inspired.
Today, I am going to show you how to make a coordinating solution for earring storage.
Here is what you need:
– Wrapped Artist Canvas
– Paint color(s) of your choice
– Mini clothes pins
– Hot glue gun
First, I picked a paint color that coordinated with my existing necklace storage. I actually used the same blue that will be on the walls in our master bedroom. It is also the same color as the side of the necklace piece.
Good Morning, lovely readers! I’m not here today because I am over at

Ok, so I did a pic and run post on Monday showing you a delivery we were getting! I figured I should come back and talk about how we got to this point. Oh, and maybe a little talk about what we are doing with all the wood too!
First up, the lumber order.
Back when we built our deck, we learned that getting lots of quotes is best. Most places will work to outbid the next guy if it is within their reach. Home Depot and Lowes both have a bid room. When you hit a certain dollar amount for your order, (in our area it is typically $2500) it will go into the ‘bid room’ to get lower bids and drive down the price.
Companies that focus more exclusively on building supplies might not have the same policies but it definitely doesn’t hurt to ask. Also, these companies tend to have lower delivery fees and can deliver faster because their stock is more extensive on-sight.
