I have an ugly front door. Admittedly, the dead mums aren’t helping, but still, it’s ugly. It’s a sturdy metal door, but that’s about all that can be said for it. It’s gotten dented, and marked up, and it’s just very bland looking. A few months ago, I asked my husband if I could paint our ugly front door. He said he didn’t care, so I went online, searching for inspiration to decide what color to paint it, and I spotted {Read More}

December 4, 2014 by 5 Comments
I have a thing for antique bed headboards and footboards, and have been fortunate to get quite a few of them at auctions at prices that blew me away. Unfortunately, none of them were the right size for my bed, and they are hard to sell online, because the shipping often costs more than what I charge for them. This was an antique headboard that I turned into a coat rack (more about it here). Not only did it have a {Read More}

Has anyone gotten sick in your house yet? My youngest son started sniffling, sneezing and coughing over Thanksgiving, and I had only 1 cough drop in the house. It’s time to stock up for the winter season. I thought that this antique advertisement for cough drops would be fun to print out and use on a get well card, or even as bathroom wall art. It came from a 1918 magazine. {CLICK ON IMAGES TO ENLARGE} I removed the {Read More}
Saying Grace … 4 Chalkboard Art Mealtime Prayer Printables
December 3, 2014 by 2 Comments
I think our family must be going out to eat too often, because lately I keep finding inspiration for projects from paper placemats while dining out. We went out for breakfast on the day my middle son had to return to college, after Thanksgiving break. On the table were paper placemats, that had the mealtime prayers of 4 different faiths on them – you don’t see that very often, do you?

December 1, 2014 by 12 Comments
I can’t believe my 12 Days of Christmas crafting event is almost over, and I really can’t believe I pulled it off! I wasn’t thinking things through carefully when I scheduled it – with Thanksgiving, a visit from my inlaws, and one of my college sons coming home for over a week falling smack in the middle of the event, but I survived – I just pulled a lot of late-nighters to get everything done. I think I deserve to {Read More}

Let’s face it – Christmas is an expensive holiday. It’s hard enough to buy gifts for your immediate family, but when you add on a gifts for the teachers, and a gift for the hostess of the party you’re going to, and a gift for the great aunt, who you only see once a year, it can become outrageously expensive, and your fa la la starts to fade fast when you realize how long your gift-giving list is getting. Don’t despair – you {Read More}
