Trying to solve a light problem

We are renting right now, so I don't want to spend money on a new light/fan in my daughters room. So the other day I made a flower out of tissue paper and put a charm in the middle and hung it from the bottom of the light. Hopefully it won't catch on fire!!! :) It was easy I took 4 pieces of wrapping tissue paper (cream color) laid them flat on top of each other and accordion folded them (1 inch) them took a paper clip and clip right in the center (to hold it together) them pulled the sheets apart. Clipped a charm (gift from a friend) in the center and WAAAA LAAAAA!!!! I think it's super cuter and cost less than a $1. Adds a nice softness to my little girls room.

Life is full of BLISS

With all the changes (good and bad) in our little family lives over the past two years. We finally feel like life is blissful and excited for the next chapter. Of course things aren't 100% better and we'll always have ups and downs in our lives. So heres a little reminder in our kitchen, that life IS blissful and all that matters in our family and faith.
Hobby Lobby sells these letters(50% off, $10), there gold and not that attractive. So I mod podged them with some zebra print tissue paper. There one of a kind, cute and only $25.

I'm back and it's button time

HI! I'm back, I've been busy moving to AZ and giving birth. :) We have a sweet little daughter and named her Portia. She is a huge blessing and a great addition to our family.
So I've been going crazy and really wanting to get back and start creating and decorating. I was going through all my crafts and realized I've got thousands................. I mean thousands of BUTTONS. I have this old clock hanging in my kitchen, I pulled it down , got my buttons and turned on my glue gun and started hot gluing buttons on my clock. It turned out SO cute, it was cheap and very unique. Do you know anyone else with a button clock????? I didn't think so.

My new bedroom

I haven't decorated my master bedroom for the last two years.  I've been super busy plus having no money is a huge problem-o. BUT I was able to decorate for very very little $. I sold our bed and I wanted a new one SO I found these vinyl stickers (etsy) and they make cute headboards. It only cost $28 and when I get sick of it or want a change I can chuck it! I bought cute amy butler fabric for $20 and made two pillows. I had this old candle chandelier that I spray painted black and then to finish all off I love colored glass vases and had a few that matched perfect with the colors. It was fun doing and super easy and really cheap! 

another fabulous lamp

I redid this lamp a while back and LOVE it. It costed less than $3, and took maybe 20 min!

I just gathered tulle on the top and the bottom of the lamp and hot glued it and then trimmed it. Then took ribbon and covered up the hot glue and made a flower with ribbon and glued an old vintage button on top of the flower. It was very easy fast and made an old lamp......... posh :)

Crafters block!

You know when writers have writers block, well I have crafters block. It's driving me NUTS!!!!! I feel like I'm going crazy. I don't know if it was the move down to AZ and the kids are home all day long, if it's the 112 degree weather or my pregnancy. I want to do some crafts, sew something, decorate something, but I can't figure out what. I was looking through some pictures I took right before we moved down here, we left in May when our cherry trees were in full bloom in our back yard and all our rose bushes were just starting to blossom. Maybe thats where i got my inspiration from. Oh and cant forget one of my BFF's Melody Ross that always had something up her sleeve. HELP!! What can I do?

I've been spending  time with my camera again. The weather is nicer and and I'm feeling the itch to get out and start shooting. We were down in AZ last week and Lulu and I went out to a dump yard and played around with some old cars and got some great shots. Can't wait to get out in the spring weather and shoot, shoot, shoot. My camera and I have a love-hate relationship.
