This Valentine’s Day Red, Pink, and White Berry Wreath is one of my favorite wreaths I’ve ever made. I love the natural yet feminine vibe. I love its shape and simplicity. Sometimes Valentine’s Day decor is a little overly plastic and cheesy. I really like subtleness of this wreath. Plus, it was fairly inexpensive and…
This Berry Heart Wreath in a Vintage Frame is a simple yet darling decoration. You can place it on a mantel or hang it on a wall or door. I have used one for a door wreath a few years ago and I used two this year for either side of my Valentine’s Day Mantel….
These DIY Wood Block Hearts make great Valentine’s Day decorations. They were inexpensive and only cost about $5.00 for all six (we did have all the tools needed for the project so that kept costs down). They were pretty quick to make as well. We made six of them in about a half an hour….
This Valentine’s Day Mantel Decor is styled in a shabby chic decorating style. I think it turned out quite cute. Although I don’t often decorate shabby chic, I think it is a super cute decor style. In case you are unfamiliar with it, shabby chic often includes soft colors, a mix of vintage and new…
This is one of my favorite hamburgers. It is delicious. This recipe really is so good, it rivals and even often surpasses the recipes I have had of Swiss mushroom burgers at restaurants and drive-ins. The combination of onion, Swiss cheese, mushrooms and garlic on a freshly grilled hamburger patty is really very satisfying. Read…

This was a very fun craft to make together. As mentioned it was inexpensive and easy—but better yet,…

This Authentic German Rouladen and Gravy Recipe is absolutely delicious! When I was living in Germany, I met a woman named Irmgard Schröder. She was about my grandmother’s age when we met and we got along very well. Eventually Irmgard became such a good friend, that I considered her my German Oma or German grandmother. …
I love peonies and roses, so I thought I would make Peony and Rose Artificial Flower Arrangements. I love the way they turned out! These were very easy to put together. They have worked for a few events I’ve had and I have received a lot of compliments on them. The best thing is, because…
I made these High Quality Dollar Tree Framed Landscape Photographs for $2.50 each. They turned out great and have added beauty and color to my office. After completing my DIY open-shelving office bins in my office, the top shelves were all empty and really needed something on them. Placing a bin on the top shelf…
I love this brown sugar lemon garlic smoked salmon recipe! It is soooo good! If you have a smoker, you really need to try it! Besides sushi I don’t love fish. What can I say? Cooked fish just isn’t my favorite. The exception would be smoked fish. Meat cooked in a smoker, if done right,…
