Happy Tuesday everyone!!  isn’t it a beautiful day?  I am just smiling today because I made a DIY Silver Shell Candle Holder.  It was so easy and looks fresh and Summery.

I am also smiling because my 89 year old FIL is here for a few days.  He really is amazing.  He still drives, makes his own meals, and travels (a little).  We have always enjoyed each other.  He is my companion for the next day or so while Hubby is working.

ANYWAY, I need to tell you about my DIY Silver Shell Candle Holder.  I was sitting out at the pool browsing through my Pottery Barn Summer catalog. And, I saw a gorgeous silver shell.

Since I am in the process of making over our balcony, these DIY Silver Shell Candle Holders would be just the touch I need.

I have enough shells to use for our inside decor, now it’s time to use them outside.

I Have the Monday Blues for Summer Wreaths

By 5 Comments

I Have the Monday Blues for Summer Wreaths, don’t you???  I love me a pretty wreath to welcome me into a home.  A wreath says “Hello, I am happy to have you here.”  (Well, in my mind anyway.)  I have collected 10 amazingly gorgeous and original wreaths for you today.

A wreath has a life of it’s own, don’t you think?  You can use felt, yarn, lace, artificial floral, succulents, sticks, twigs, shells, you name it, you can probably add it to a wreath.

By 6 Comments

Happy Thursday everyone!  It’s a great week full of Summer temps and activities.  I had a blast sharing my DIY Vintage Book Page Pinwheel with the grandkiddos when they were here last week.  They are SO easy to make AND they REALLY work!

You first saw the DIY Vintage Book Page Pinwheels a few days ago with my Easy July 4th Party Buffet.  All this week is the Red, White, and Blue Inspiration Blog Tour with 16 of the most creative people I know.  I hope you have been following along for all the 4 of July ideas you could ever want. Look here for all the details.

Red White and Blue Inspiration

When I showed you my July 4th Party Buffet, I told you I would show you how to make your own DIY Vintage Book Page Pinwheel.  It’s easy peasy and looks festive on any Summer table.

4th of July Book Page Wreath

By 29 Comments

My blog is back up and I am able to share my 4th of July Book Page Wreath.  I am beyond thrilled to be with you here today, and cross my fingers that this will be the case from now on.

Hubby and I have been keeping busy, organizing our home, going to the thrift store to drop things off, and watching 4 of our oldest grandkiddos.  We have gone swimming, to the movies, visited Ethel M Chocolate Factory, rode the zipline, watched airplanes land and takeoff at the airport, eaten more candy and pizza than I could ever imagine, went to the water park, got free doughnuts from Krispy Kreme (Did you know it was National Doughnut Day?)  And now we are heading out to the pool again.  Whew!  It has been a blast!  And well-worth all the candy and pizza (insert huge smile)

NOW, for this year’s 4th of July Book Page Wreath…

Isn’t she lovely??  You KNOW how much I like using vintage book pages for crafts.  This was no exception.
