Man Oh Man is it Hot! Driving back from Dallas last weekend I actually saw a few crayons on the ground at a gas station that had melted. That’s hot! Living in Georgia I have become more familiar with the term HOTLANTA especially these last few weeks. Although my garden has not lacked water (…
Happy Friday. I hope it’s been a great week for you. I want to share a really quick and easy photo project with you today. This makes a great gift or you can hang it on your own walls if you want. This was actually a gift from my children to their Aunt (aka Daka.) Supplies Needed: Canvas…
One thing you should know about me is that I have a love for clocks in my home. Two reasons- I don’t like to be late and because I like the way they look incorporated into my decor. If you look around my house you will see that in just about every room. I always…
Talk about Angry Birds. For months those things have been bathing in this-well,not so pretty birdbath Didn’t seem right since I was enjoying my book and my bubbly and bathing here So to rid myself of the guilt from watching those poor birds suffer (and suffer they did), I decided to give the birdbath a bit…
Sadly, we will not be going to the beach this summer. The family has decided on some other fun vacation destinations. So, in order to cure my desire for the beach, sand and sun, I have created some reminders in the house that ALMOST take me there, without the waves. It’s…
Ahhhh, this is the life. Just “chillin” here under my new summer cabana. Well not really, it’s been raining here for the last few days, so I thought I would share the tutorial on how to make this great cabana so you can have a little protection from the sun and look great while you…
Who wouldn’t want this rose that is cold tolerant to zone 5, is heat tolerant throughout the U.S, thrives in just about any area in the country and is reliably resistant to disease ? Who wouldn’t want this rose that produces multiple blooms every 5 to 6 weeks from spring until the first hard frost?…
About 5 year ago I totally committed myself to my guest bath by applying a a wall treatment that gave it a “faux stone” look. Taping off each stone, applying plaster, stippling and painting= COMMITMENT. Back then I thought it was the best idea ever. I would walk by the bath thinking “how cool is…
This is a great smelling idea to end Teacher Appreciation Week, and honestly this would make a great gift for mom’s day too. How cute is this! All’s you need to do is take a few packs of scents- I used lavender, and tie a ribbon around them to secure layer some circle shaped…
Having a considerable amount of “green” space to cut outside our windows is pretty much inevitable at my house, but we do what we have to do and we hope along the way of riding the merry mower, there is something in the distance that makes us veer off of those pretty strait lines we…
A certain part of my garden is a lot like Wisteria Lane on Desperate Housewife’s. Wild and crazy, out of control, and very colorful. I am talking about my own Wisteria that is growing in my garden. Wisteria is a fast growing plant which can get out of control very easily. It can grow up…
I am attending a slumber party today – The Pillowpalooza. I told Linda the host over at It All Started With Paint that I would be there under one condition – when I am sleeping, make sure that the bad girls don’t put water in my bra and put it in the freezer. Sadly, that…
