Getting Creative at Home Blog Tour and It’s My Turn!

August 8, 2013 By Meegan 34 Comments

Oh my goodness!  It’s the Getting Creative at Home Tour and It’s My Turn!  Wow!  I have seen so many amazingly talented people over the past few days!  It is so much fun!  Have you been joining in on the fun along with us?  What has been your fave so far??

getting creative at home

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 also been known to cook and bake up a storm in my kitchen:

I love to share my recipes often with my readers.

A few other things you might want to know about me are:

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?

I love using book pages to decorate.  Actually, you might say I have an obsession. (PS-the frame was brand new at the thrift store for $7!!-SCORE!)
