Baby, It's Cold Outside...

However, all of this cold, snowy, icy weather is apparently the only thing that is going to keep me home long enough so I can finish some of my little projects and ACTUALLY... FOR REAL post them! :)

I am always looking for a way to add a seasonal pop throughout the house. I had a lot of fun putting together this Valentine frame. I set it next to a "flirty" picture of me with my LOVE. It took me 15 minutes and I feel that love is in the air.

Now for my new "little birdie" entry way. Does anyone else love birds as much as I do? I feel like anything I see at Hobby Lobby with a bird on it should be mine.
Dislike Blank Walls? I do...but didn't know really what I wanted to do on this wall for sure. So I made a "temporary" arrangement until I find something I really adore enough to buy it. However, I really like this so much...it might just have to STAY! 4 different frames, a little paint, different font printed from Microsoft Word, Scrapbook paper, and Modge Podge. That's it! (oops...forgot to move the Colts Snuggie for this picture.)
My wonderful and craftsman of a Husband helped me hang our new drapes...and they look even better because I had Andrew's Aunt make a piece of fabric to attach to the top of the panels. Thanks, Saundra. She is so good and helpful with my decorating.
I got this idea from a local decor store. I made them out of a frame and had Andrew staple in some thick wires. I use miniture clothespins to display the pictures. I put them up in my kitchen so I can easily change my photos of the wonderful people in my life and enjoy them without having a messy fridge.
I have always wanted a stick tree so that I can hang seasonal decor on it. I literally gathered small twigs and stuck them in an awesome vase from Old Time Pottery and stuffed Grass Moss in the inside. I plan to do little Easter Eggs next.

My favorite...My cute little neighbor friend and small group girl had surgery on her leg. Well one night I kidnapped her boring crutches(with permission from her Mom) and decorated them with her favorite colored ribbon! Much better! :) She was suprised!

I hope you find a day where you can find time to do some of those things you enjoy and have been meaning to do... It is such a good feeling.

It's looking a lot like Christmas...


I am so happy that Christmas was so close to the day we moved into our new home, because with the warmth of the lights, trees, and Christmas decor has really helped it feel like a real HOME around here....OUR HOME! God always knows what he is doing. Doesn't he?
My mom, Aunt Minda, Libby, and Lanie came to visit this weekend! We enjoyed having them as our first overnight guests! We loved their company. Everyone is always invited now...because we have a place for you to stay. :)
