One of my fondest memories growing up was playing card games with my Grandma. We would spend hours playing Rummy, Rummy 500, Go Fish, Poker and so many others. She taught me how to play them all! I happily passed on the love of playing cards to my boys. We play at home on rainy days or when we go camping. It's such a fun family pasttime and now it's even more exciting with these...
How many times have you passed by a basket like this while out thrifting? Next time grab it! So you can turn it from this... Into this! I grabbed this one from our local thrift store for 25 cents. Yes, 25 cents! I gave it a few coats of white spray paint for a fresh new look. Then I added the number tag using my hot glue gun. I finished it off by tying on...
Raise your hand if you loved stickers when you were little. I know I did (the Scratch 'n' Sniff ones were my favorites)! So how excited was I when I was introduced to Stickii Club*?! Stickii Club offers monthly sticker deliveries geared towards adults. It is a personalized service with three different sticker styles to choose from. With a different monthly theme for each style. Also included in the monthly mailings are stationery items that can include...

Fast forward to Pinterest, where I found this ice cold drinks printable. I simply printed it on to waterslide decal paper. I cut it to size and gave it a few coats of clear spray paint. Add it to a bowl of water...
The 4th of July is right around the corner. So now is the perfect time to whip up some mini American flag pillows. Start with a small flag (mine is from the Dollar Store) and some backing fabric. I used a piece of coffee-dyed for my pillow. If you're using a sewing machine, turn the pieces inside out. If you're hand-sewing, leave them rightside out. Then just get busy stitching. Leave a small hole to...
It all started with this cake plate. I spied it down in the basement (I normally use it for Valentine's Day decor) and thought how pretty it would look if I swapped out the red ribbon for black. So that's just what I did. And somehow my kitchen morphed into a black and white palette. I'm wondering why I didn't do it sooner as I'm loving the new look! Best part is: I already had...
