So the hubby and I are big thrift store shoppers. Really I love anything old and used and cheap (not cheap, but cheap.. totally makes sense, right?). So every week we take an afternoon together for a "date day" which includes combining his love of plundering and my love of discounts and this week we had some great finds! My all time favorite is this clock old fan that doesn't work combo. It's View Post
DIY Cinnamon Candle
One of my favorite scents during Fall and Winter is cinnamon, I would honestly burn it all year long if my husband didn't oppose it (instead we agree on Vanilla in the summer).

Make Your Own Wood Photo Block
My husband and I made this as a gift for Mother's Day for my mother a few months back and i've been slacking on actually getting a post done about it, so here it is finally! I will admit, this idea came from a coupon ;) there was a deal to get a free photo collage so I made some of my daughter and nephew, I tried to think of a good way to display them besides the typical picture frames and it View Post
How to Paint Mason Jars
A few weeks ago I painted some Mason jars for organizing and I loved the matte look but I wasn't too fond of it for a vase or anything with a more practical use since the matte style tends to scrape off easily, I wanted that glossy Mason Jar look and feel to it! So instead of painting the outside of the jar.. I went with the inside and it was SO MUCH easier and the end result is fabulous! How to View Post

I have been in desperate need of a shopping list in my kitchen, the pads on the fridge always seemed to disappear for card night and end up getting lost so I needed a new solution!

DIY Minnie Mouse Party Decor
My daughter's second birthday is coming up this week and of course the theme is Minnie Mouse (oh how we love Minnie!), I decided to go with the classic red Minnie for her theme and quickly realized there were very little pre-made decorations for that style, so I decided to create my own Minnie Mouse centerpiece!

During one of my thrift store ventures the other day I came across one of those basic and inexpensive spice racks you typically see at Walmart or Target and my mind automatically went to "how can I use this for crafts?!".
