Spring is in full effect. Trees and flowers are budding and blooming. There's so much wonderful inspiration for spring door decorations yet my door is undressed. I always have a few ideas floating around in my head but nothing has come together, yet. Last night I went through old posts looking for inspiration. My door ...
It's one of my favorite times of year - dogwood tree blooms are out in full force in Central Arkansas. I captured this gorgeous and HUGE tree on my drive home from work yesterday. I was five hundred shades of green wishing this beauty was in my front yard. Here's one of the blooms from the ...
A few weeks ago I stepped out of my comfort zone and met a room full of (mostly) new gals for paper crafts and fun. Gina (Desperately Seeking Gina), pictured left above, invited me to join her for a Camp Lovely paper crafts night. It sounded like a lot of fun and I desperately (pun intended) wanted ...
I began this blog a few years ago and posted fairly consistently until a couple of years ago. I've missed blogging and have desired to get back into the groove. I just couldn't seem to do so. I migrated from Blogger to WordPress at the first of the year thinking that would kick start the process ...
I've been trying to come up with the perfect post to re-launch my blog. I've written a host of posts (say that five times fast) since the first of the year and none of them felt right. I've worried and fretted and analyzed for far too long. I woke up this morning and decided I'm ...

Today I'm bragging on one of my favorite families to help them spread the word about a sweet product offering. This precious little model is showing off her Papa's creation - Grow With Me Rulers. This BIG idea started a few months back with stained, over-sized rulers meant to hang on the wall to track growth ...
BBC's teacher asked her class to create Valentine boxes instead of using paper sacks this year. A project with the boy is always fun. Of course BBC wanted a Green Ninja (from the Lego Ninjago series) themed box. He was very specific about the uniform he wanted for the box.DH suggested we just pick up ...
I fell in love with my door again this month. I've been playing around with larger scale lately. This over-sized heart (crafted from sheet metal and wire) works brilliantly inside the window frame.While I was bored with my door, I hadn't lost that loving feeling for the wire bird feeders I used at Christmas. On a ...
On a recent trip to Joann Fabric and Craft store I found a fun red burlap fabric with gold thread highlights. I was planning to do a burlap puffy heart for BBC's classroom door and this added an unexpected element. Having found my inspiration, I grabbed 3/4 yard of the burlap, a bundle of coordinating gold metallic embroidery ...
