My Love for...

Hobby Lobby is UNDENIABLE! I'm a frequent shopper to say the least :)

Every week something is on sale & they rotate so eventually everything in the store is on sale at some point. I wait for the sales to get the things I need. (want)

I had been wanting to do something in the upstairs bathroom to hang the boys bath towels on. I could have easily made something but when I saw these monogram hooks, I was hooked!

They were cheap too! Now they have a cute, MANLY bath towel hook! No more towels hanging from doors. YAY!!!

To end this post I thought I would share a picture of the bathroom. Just need to frame the mirror & paint the cabinets & it will be complete!

Bridal Shower Gift

I love wedding receptions. I love seeing the bride in her beautiful dress & seeing how things are decorated. Well... my cute cousin-in-law is getting married! The colors she chose are Turquoise, Apple Green, & Natural. She is also going to be decorating her house in these colors. I was excited when I saw & read her invitation & knew I wanted to make some sort of Home Decor Item. Her new last name is going to be Olsen.

Here is what I came up with...

The scrapbook paper and "O" came from JoAnns. The flower was from Hobby Lobby. (I already had it at home along with the raffia) My gift was a hit! It did turn out pretty cute if I do say so myself ;)

"I'm So Excited...

And I just can't hide it! I'm about to loose control & I think I like it!"

Welcome to my new blog where I will post all the creative things I do. Let me first start off by telling you how much I love getting old furniture!!! Serious. My hubs had the wonderful opportunity to clean out one of his dads semi trailers & boy did he find some treasures!! We have so many ideas & plans I can't hardly stand it!!!

The first thing I grabbed to start working on was a little side table. This beauty had been sitting in that old trailer for more then 10 years! Not much needed to be done to it. I just cleaned, sanded, & roughed it up.

After

Hmm, I may rough it more. You can't tell I did much of anything by the picture. I'm sure she is much happier now being in the comforts of my home. She is Loved.
