I have been cleaning, organizing and throwing out a bunch of stuff all last week. It feels so good. I cleaned out my office/craft room and a big closet, cupboards and drawers. Then I started in the kitchen and now I need to keep going and get my kitchen all done. That is my next goal. I love it when I get the cleaning bug and can get a lot done because I really don’t get it very often, so I had better go for it while I can! When you clean everything out, you can see what you have (or rather how much you have!) and so when I organized all of my washi tape I decided that I needed to do a project with some of it!

So here is fun little idea using your washi tape that would be perfect for a little tea party, a shower, a birthday, or even for weddings!

Cute Monogram Pumpkin Door Hanging

I love, love, love to decorate for Halloween but I think that it is still a bit too early for that so I decided that I could at least put out a few fall decorations! This is a pumpkin that I made for my front door. I love that I can put it out now, take it down for Halloween, then put it back up for November!

I am loving the monograms lately for some reason and this one just jumped out at me!

Spring Letters

I found these fun letters at the Wood Connection before my trip to Arizona. I like that they say “Spring” , so that I can keep them out until May! My daughter and I got together and painted these letters yesterday. (do you like the mess, big chill cup and all) We used the easy paint technique here, that I used for the “Family” letters so I am not going to give a tutorial in this post.

I love these fun papers and the cute design in the letters! Especially the letter “i”. And of course I love the ribbons on some of the letters.
This picture has been enhanced, but I love the fun vibrant colors. I put these fun letters on my kitchen table and every time I walk by I feel like I have a early glimpse of spring right there in my kitchen! It makes me happy. We only use our kitchen table on Sunday when everyone comes over for dinner, so I do not have to move them every time we eat! :)

My daffodils are blooming, my tulips are all up and starting to bloom, my garden is starting to sprout…I think that spring is really going to come!

So what makes you happy for spring?

Yesterday I told you that I would show you the project that I came home with from The Wood Connection Store. So drum roll please: Ta…Dah!

I got these cute wood letters and I knew exactly what I wanted to do with them. I have a shelf in my living room and I wanted to put something cute on it. We had new family pictures taken a couple of days ago, so I want to put some new pictures in this room and they will go perfect now! Continue reading →
