Having this Just Add Magic Birthday Party for my daughter was just the perfect fit. She loves the hit show, “Just add Magic” found on Amazon Prime. She has watched every episode at least twice. I’ve watched most episodes along with her and I also enjoy it. I like how it is well written, creative …
We will be having a baby boy any day now. I wanted to share his nursery with you. I decorated this travel themed boy nursery for him because I love to travel and I hope he has the wanderlust bug as well. The main theme is travel/mountainous travel and the color scheme is a mixture …
These Valentine’s String Heart Crafts were simple, inexpensive and are fun to make with kids. I’m always looking for cute Valentine’s decorations (personally I think Valentine’s decor is hard to find). So, I decided to make some this year. I made these wood heart blocks and put them on my Valentine’s mantel. I needed something …
Valentine’s Day Red, Pink, and White Berry Wreath. I love this wreath’s 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 quick to make! My daughter and I put this together in about 45 minutes and it …

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 …
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 created this White Winter Tablescape for an early Christmas dinner we had with some of my husband’s family. This tablescape was easy to put together.
