If you’ve been following for any length of time you already know I’m all about telling the people you share your world with what you like, love or appreciate about them every day. I was scrambling to find some preprinted thank you cards at home recently when I finally just decided to make my own. They’re super simple to make and Busy Girl approved. Here’s a look at how you can make your own set of personalized stationery too…
Feed sacks are great for the fall and winter season because you can use them for potato sack races at festivals, as blankets over hay bales for extra seating and pillow covers too. This project is so easy to complete it almost doesn’t need directions but just in case here’s a look at what you need to create a special stenciled feed sack pillow covers of your own….
I’m so excited to share today’s post with you guys. It’s the second installment of a year-long series called …With My Sisters. This past weekend, we spent a fun afternoon together making soy candles that smell totally dreamy. I don’t know about you guys but the three of us are constantly burning candles. Walking into a home that’s filled with a warm and cozy smell instantly makes you feel welcomed. Here’s a look at how you can make your own candles too….
One topic that keeps coming up with my family is how to store everything we’ve been baking this holiday season. We’ve definitely gone through our fair share of cookies. We needed something that would well but we also wanted a way to personalize our cookie containers. You may have passed up cookie or popcorn tins at your local thrift store but we’ve found a way to give them new life.
Have you guys ever used adhesive paper on a piece of furniture before? I hadn’t tried it for anything other than lining shelves until the other day. This little bookcase has been with me forever. I used 4 rolls of adhesive paper from The Dollar Tree.
After we moved the bakers rack to create an indoor coffee station, it left the entire area totally bare. I hung up a vintage chalkboard, gave a mini makeover to the Suwannee Sugar Cane Farm sign and the chair at the desk in the kitchen. In one afternoon I was able to complete 3 quick decorative updates in the kitchen and the only thing it cost me was my time.
I feel like I’m finally getting back into the swing of things on the blog, at home and restocking items at my booth at The Pickers Market. I’ve even started training for a 15K run. I decided to make a scrub that would help kick start my morning routine. This Rise and Shine sugar scrub uses 5 ingredients: grapefruit, orange, clove, oil and sugar.
I didn’t want to give up on the idea of having my own set of moose plates and after searching Pinterest I found a way to design them using Sharpie permanent markers!
. I finally found myself in the sewing aisle of a big box store quickly losing motivation to create. I settled on heat transfers and headed over to the kitchen section to grab 2 packs of flour sack towels.
It’s because of my love for the outdoors that I try to decorate with natural elements whenever I can. I needed a way to jazz up the entry and I decided to make a few white ornaments for the tree.
Now imagine you’re having a good time laughing and talking it up until someone mentions how great it would be to “create a wreath as part of the holiday blog series.” No playing, I almost choked.
As soon as I found these old bank bags this past spring I knew immediately I was going to use them as our “stockings” this holiday season. They were perfection. So imagine my excitement when the ladies of this blog series decided we should include wrapping paper.
