Happy Memorial Day Weekend!

YAY!  Long weekend and I have to thank the Veterans for that!  But most importantly for the sacrafices and the freedom they gave for us!  Happy Memorial Day!

Ok, now for the fun stuff.  This can give you crafty people something to do if you are just hanging out.  I found this site again through my favorite FB site: Tatertots & Jello!  I just had to share.  I know it's been slow coming with the great ideas I find, but they are coming and I'm working on bringing more, but time is just not working with me.  I need more of it, but thankful for what I get - lol.

Ok, here it is check this out - it's awesome - I hope you enjoy it as much as I did when I saw it.

Happy Friday!

Whew, thought Friday wasn't going to get here.  Not that I like to rush my days, but I was ready for Friday.  Work was busy, so sorry again, no time to blog.

But as I sat down and scanned through some of my favorite places I came across this fabulous idea.  Painting rugs!  Wow.  So, if you can't find the perfect rug for that spot - just design it and paint it yourself.

How cool is that?

Go check it out: http://tatertotsandjello.com/2012/05/how-to-paint-a-rug-seven-tips-to-a-perfectly-painted-rug.html

Tatertots & Jello always has grand ideas to share.

Thanks again for dropping by.  Leave me some fedback, have a great weekend all.

Enjoy the journey, we only get one.

Happy Monday!

I hope everyone had a great Mother's Day!

I am sorry I have been out of pocket since February.  A lot has been going on and I just simply have not had the time to blog.

Winter came and went, that was busy putting things away.  Spring arrived and had to get the yard ready for summer.  Then had to keep up with family and things happening around the house that I jus did not have time.

I thought I would post a little something to say, I am still here.

I was looking on FB and say this (reminds me of the Halloween bottles I did, never thought of using them as lables for everything containers).  So, here it is, how cool are these!

Here is the link: http://www.modpodgerocksblog.com/2012/05/diy-vintage-bottle-labels.html

I hope you enjoy or have bottles or containers you all have to mark.  All you need is scrapbook paper that is to your liking.  Check them out, it's easy and pretty crafty.

Have a great day, everyone. Enjoy the journey, we only get one.
Laugh often, live, well, love a lot, and be happy!
