Easy DIY Fall Chalkboard Sign: Chalking Series, Part 3 Here we are in Part 3 of my chalking series and I made an easy DIY fall chalkboard sign. Actually, I made two different kinds – one on a chalkboard and one on a canvas. After my last project’s near disaster, I invited my husband to chalk with me. How fun! It’s a Scripture sign based on 1 Thessalonians 5:18. It’s perfect for Thanksgiving, but the verse is appropriate year-round. The {Read More}
Mountains Are Calling DIY Chalkboard | Chalking Series Part 2
September 12, 2018 by 6 Comments
Mountains Are Calling DIY Chalkboard This isn’t so much a project as it is a story. Let me start by saying I’m not usually a raving lunatic. Usually. My son was at the theater with a friend. My husband had just gone to bed (he goes to work crazy early in the morning). So I decided to go into my workshop and make a chalkboard. Just me, myself, and I.
Fall DIY Chalkboard Clipboard Wall Art

Fall DIY Chalkboard Clipboard Wall Art I’m going to be honest with you, so please don’t judge me, okay? I can’t stand coffee even if it’s pumpkin spice lattes with whipped cream on top. To be really honest, I don’t even like whipped cream. Can you believe that? But I do love the smell of pumpkin spice, especially candles. Does that redeem me a little? 🙂 I hope so because I worked on upcycling a vintage clipboard that I had in {Read More}

Barnwood Christmas DIY Chalkboard: Peace Joy Believe I hadn’t intended to post any more Christmas projects until at least September, but while arranging my crafting studio (formerly my shed turned guest room) I came across a box filled with random stuff. This small barnwood chalkboard frame was in it. It was from my oldest son’s wedding. It was the perfect size for a Chalk Couture Christmas transfer I hadn’t yet used and wanted to try. It’s the Peace Joy Believe {Read More}

Repurposed Frame Bathroom Mirror & Windmill Chalkboard I hope you all had a wonderful Father’s Day celebrating with your spouse or father. My youngest son and daughter went out to eat with my husband and I to celebrate, but they both had to work today so it was a quiet day other than that. Over the next week I’ll finally be sharing my bathroom makeover. I know you are probably thinking “It’s about time,” but working on the outdoor projects {Read More}

Vintage Cutting Board Kitchen Chalk Board Here’s a little randomness I learned this week … Did you know a group of cats is called a clowder and a litter of kittens is called a kindle? That has absolutely nothing to do with today’s project, but we have two new baby kittens (which I’ll share more about later), and my daughter told me that random bit of trivia, so of course I had to share it. 🙂 Okay, back to my {Read More}
Has the “thrift” Gone Out of Thrift Stores?
August 24, 2015 by 82 Comments
I used to be a die-hard thrift store shopper, but over the last year or so, I’ve discovered that unless you are looking for used clothes, paperback books or ugly dishes, thrift stores are starting to hike up the prices on many things. Normally you expect to pay more at thrift stores than you would at a garage sale, but he prices were still very reasonable and affordable, but isn’t always the case these days. For example I used to buy vintage {Read More}
Hey Hallmark, I have a movie idea for you…

What does a camp stool and summer break have in common? Without peeking below, what would your answer be? I’d bet a plate full of S’mores that your answer is “camping”. Am I right? Am I?
