Life, Family, and Home - Simplified & Sweetened
Today I am finally getting around to sharing the wreath that I have featured in my banner! I found this cute “Lovebird Inn” wreath at the thrift store for $2! It was a little worn, but all it really needed was some new flowers and it would be perfect for our door.
Have you ever visited The Ribbon Retreat? Their site is a crafter’s dream! Of course they are known for their lovely craft products and supplies, which include everything from ribbon and ric rac to flowers and head bands.
But what you may not know is that The Ribbon Retreat also has a fabulous blog filled with tons of written and video tutorials.
For my giveaway today I’ve got a prize pack worth $110 dollars and featuring 3 fabulous sponsors! Check it out!
Hello all! Well, I got ready to do this week’s giveaway and I ran in to a slight snag, so hopefully I have that up later today or in the next day or two!
In the meantime, I’ve got some My Memories Freebies and a tutorial for you today! And as always, you can save $10 on their Suite v3 Software by using my coupon code: STMMMS63042.
Previously when I’ve posted about my memories I’ve said that the software is not just for scrapbooking. You can, in fact, use it for a variety of crafting projects, including printables, gift tags, party favors, greeting cards, and basically any paper crafting or digital project. And today we’ve got two great examples of that.
As I went to work on my post for the Ultimate Blog Party that’s happening later this week, I added a collage photo which included a picture of this canister, BUT when I went to find a link to the post where I shared the canister, I didn’t find it. WHAT? That’s weird! I have the pictures of the canister filed under “Projects Already Posted.” Could I have possibly made a mistake and mis-filed it, thinking I’d posted it, when I hadn’t? I must be getting old! Haha!
So anyway here is a sort of impromptu tutorial for this mod podge canister!
Easter is just around the corner! (Yeah! I really feel like it’s sneaking up on us this year!)
So I got to browsing around yesterday for some Easter wreaths to share with you guys.
I found all of these on the great and wonderful source that is Pinterest! (Follow Me!)
If you’ve got any spring or Easter projects, don’t forget to come by and link them up for Friday Favorites so I can feature you!
Have you visited Houzz? It’s a place where design experts share off their portfolios in design, decor, and remodels, and it’s a great place for homeowners and design enthusiasts to go look for designers in their area or look for ideas and products for their own interior design.
If you’re thinking of starting a new home decor project, or if you just like looking at other people’s photos and ideas, you can sign up at the site, and add your favorite photos to your own idea book so that you can come back and look at them any time!
I’m always dreaming of new ways to organize and store my jewelry and craft making supplies and Houzz has ideas ranging from the most simple and “shoe string” budget ideas to the more elaborate and pricey.
I also love this cubby organizer. I like the idea of using different slots for you items. This is also great for someone like me because it goes up on the wall. And I also love the vintage appeal!
And here’s a great work space! Doesn’t it look cozy? I would love to have my desk surrounded by all these great organizers! I also love her little corner shelf that’s filled with rubber stamps!
