If you write it…they will come.
Hello. So…whatcha been up to? Oh, I’ve been enjoying the holidays…a little too much! My December stats for the ol’ blog are stinkin’ big time, but can you blame me when this is who I’ve been hanging out with?? And Glenn has also been off for vacation. And while I’m sure most wives would be able to get MORE done on vacation with him off...
Read MoreMy Tree Trimming Trick!
Is ribbon! I have used the same red ribbon on my tree year after year for about 5 years now and I never get tired of how it looks. I also used to use a white one with a red, glittery candy cane pattern but lately I’ve stuck to the solid for a more sophisticated look. Get the thick, wired stuff (ours is from Costco) and weave different lengths of pieces around the tree on top of the...

Wow…have you missed me? If you’re reading this, I guess it means you might! I have been working my fanny off, but am able to spend a little more time blogging today, and I finally took all sorts of photos to share! So I have to say that I am LOVING our new set-up. I hope our pool table is enjoying his freezing cold new home in the garage, because I don’t think he can come...

Read MoreTime is FLYING!
Wow…the holidays have already really put a big wrench into my 5-days-a-week of posting! And they’re not even close to being here yet! But I guess it’s good (for me, not my readers!) – it just means that I’m busy! New clients (yippee!!), Christmas bazaar prep, holiday decorating and more is keeping me very, very busy!

Read MoreHappy Holidays!
Miss me yesterday? I try to post once per day, Monday through Friday…but Harper needed a couple immunizations yesterday so I was out and about and didn’t have a chance to write. If you’re my Facebook friend, you’ve probably already seen this photo, but I just can’t help myself sometimes! My webcam caught this photo of my silly family using Photobooth, but the...
Read MoreTiny Hot Cocoa Packets
I’m probably going to be regurgitating a lot of crafty finds that I come across online for you all over the next few days and/or weeks…I’m very busy with a couple of new clients (woo hoo!) and with getting ready for the Christmas fairs around here, so I’m looking for inspiration like crazy! Plus with “the economy how it is” (aren’t you sick of that...
Read MoreThe Tackiest Thing Ever
Okay, I just couldn’t help myself with the title. Only tacky because I’m talking about tape…get it? I’ve been thinking about Christmas a lot lately; buying gifts, packaging them, mailing them, making cards, and also making cute packaging and craft fair items for Lillie + James. How can I make my gifts or packaging stand out? I’m really bad at wrapping...

Read MoreThe Holidays are Here!
Can you believe it?? We’ve been counting the days around here! Why am I so excited? I am so excited because my sister-in-law has moved back here and she loves being (or in my case, attempting at being) crafty as much as I do…so we have been busy, busy, busy making lots of fun plans and dreaming big! Plus Glenn and I love that we have a new couple to hang out with… ...
Read MoreAbout Me
I'm an interior designer, but I live in the country. I like it that way. I'm also a firefighter's wife, new mom and a new homeowner and I like that even better. A close second is a pretty and affordable space...and I mean a REALLY affordable space. Because I believe good design can be for EVERYONE!
