One corner…
Sometimes things just come together. I needed to decorate a condo quickly (with a small budget). Now I must say that I am a bargain hunter. Checking all my usual places, most of the time I can come up with something. I believe that these were some of my best finds. Craig’s List – 2 Chairs for $150 total, Kirkland’s…

I got your number
You’ve got Mail part 2, not only did I order vinyl for my mailbox, but also for my front door.

Thinking and searching, I knew I wanted to keep these flowers (the best daughter in the world gave them to…

You’ve Got Mail, part 1
I mean I’ve got a new mailbox! (Click on photos to enlarge) I love all the cool covers that are available for mailboxes now. I have bought several and my sister gave me one. The last one I bought only had magnets on the bottom to hold it on, so it looked good at first, but that didn’t last long….

Cupcakes!
I have been wanting to try to make a sign, so I did! What do you think?? I tossed around different ideas on how to do it, and I settled on using a pencil, stencil and acrylic craft paint. Now what’s my word??? Thinking….Cupcakes, it is. Do I distress it, how do I highlight the letters, do I glaze it when…

Deck Revisit
It’s been a great weekend! I’m glad that I was able to work outside, since I’m waking up to a rainy Monday. Seems like it’s been a long winter, but doesn’t it always? Complaining about the weather is what we do! Hopefully these pictures will inspire you, warm you, move you… The end of January, and these are still hanging…

Birds are singing,
So excited, the temp was going to reach 60 and beyond! We’ve been looking at that messy back deck for months. I have been too chicken to even go out there, fear of freezing in my tracks. Today was the day, armed with my broom, Windex, bucket filled with warm soapy water…I cleaned. Just wondering, how do pillows get so gross…
