This post is part of the monthly Thrifty Style Team collaboration. The 2nd Friday of each month my talented blog friends gather together. We like to share our thrifty decor, crafts or money saving ideas with you.
There is everything from wood working to wall hangings, vintage pieces and sea shell crafts.
I am excited to share them with you.
I have had this idea rolling around my head for awhile. It was actually quite emotional browsing through the brittle blueprints one by one.
From the process of choosing a style and floor plan that would best fit our growing family, to submitting the plans for approval, to the first shovel of dirt for digging the footings. Every step came flooding my mind.
It was a crazy busy and fun year. With packing, moving, unpacking and re configuring a new (to me) cottage apartment in the desert, family vacations, traveling and then the Christmas season my year was jam packed.

For now let’s look at the Top Ten Seasonal DIY Craft and Decor Ideas for you, your home and family.

This project is easy and costs very little to make.
This Easy and Simple Eucalyptus Garland takes three components and a short amount off time. That’s my kind of craft. Perfect for a casual day of crafting and relaxation.
I was out shopping today, looking at pillows, throws and floral arrangements. I love looking and thinking about different ways I could recreate what I have seen in stores and online.
I love how my Boho Style Pillow came out. It’s the ambiance I am trying to create in our cottage apartment.
Reaching into my refrigerator, I pulled out fresh fruits and vegetables to start this new look in my cottage apartment.
I have been eyeing pieces like this at Hobby Lobby, Michael’s and Pier One Imports. I KNEW I could make my own for a fraction of the cost.
