I adore American Flags. I found these vintage(ish) looking flags and decided to make them into a little collage. I needed a centerpiece for my 4th of July Mantel and this was the perfect craft for it. This was VERY easy to make and only took me 10-15 minutes. First, I took a frame I …
I love the 4th of July! To celebrate I made this vintage American Mantel, an American Flag collage, and an American Flag Banner. This banner took me about 10 minutes to make and was very inexpensive. I got lucky and found all of the flags at a thrift store. But they all can be found …

So for now please just right click on the image(s) you would like and save the image to your desktop. You will be able to print them …
Installing under-mount lights can really update the look of your furniture, cabinets, and desk without too much time or expense. You will need a drill, screw driver bit, drill bit, measuring tape, pencil, hammer, and the lights (we got them at Home Depot but they can also be found here). 1- Take the lights out of the …
I read the book The 5 Love Languages. In the book, you learn that everyone appreciates being reminded of why they are loved (no matter what love language they have).
