The Getting Creative at Home Blog Tour came about because there were several of us bloggers that missed out on attending a Blog Conference called “Haven”.  My new friend Julie got us together, since we could not attend Haven, we would have our own blog conference and invite YOU to come along!

Getting Creative at Home and it’s my turn begins right now!!

I have a fetish for empty frames.  I have them everywhere.  I really like the idea of the openness and the fact that I can hang anything on them with a simple painted clothes pin.

My coffee table was $10 at the thrift store.  She is one of my faves.  The tray was a thrift find for $3!!  I know!  I was SO excited!!

My kitchen shelves are always filled with thrift finds and/or shells because of my love of the ocean.

I found this shutter for 5 bucks and made her look old.  Not too shabby, huh?
