When a friend alerted me that someone was throwing out a vintage Schwinn bike, you better believe I hopped in my car to go and grab it! Unfortunately, I deleted the before picture. It was definitely a bit beat up, but nothing I couldn't fix. After removing the tires and sanding a few rusty spots, I simply gave it a few coats of Ocean Mist spray paint. I'm loving how it turned out! In fact,...
Who doesn't love a good DIY in Under 5? If you've got some old bathroom tiles laying around, this project is for you. You'll also need cork backing, a rubber stamp and ink. I usually place the cork backing on my tiles before I start stamping. This prevents them from scratching surfaces and clanking around while you're working with them. Simply rub the ink on to your stamp and press on to each coaster. Seriously,...

There is very little learning curve to follow on how...
These are some strange days. I am trying to remain calm and prayerful. It's not easy. Every trip to the grocery story is filled with dread and panic. I have to stay strong for my boys. And I keep my sanity by doing little projects here and there. Stay safe, my friends. Together, we will all get through this. Hugs! Jeanine ...
Who else has started decorating for St. Patrick's Day?! I don't do a lot for this particular holiday (even though I'm 1/4 Irish!), but I do enjoy what we have. The gold coins, shamrocks and hats from this picture are all from Dollar Tree. The printables are courtesy of The Graphics Fairy. You've seen this tiered tray before. It's from Target and I have used it for every holiday since I scored it. It sits...
Valentine's Day is fast approaching! I've had my most of my decorations up since January and I've been loving every minute of them. I didn't make a lot of new pieces this year. I've been using Scrabble tiles and free printables. And I always display my collection of vintage Valentine's Day cards. I'm enjoying the simplicity of it right now. Maybe it's because I'm getting older or because my boys are getting older. Or maybe...
