We had crazy high winds and rain, but luckily no damage other than the cupola of our shed fell off, which is an easy fix.

Similar to Santa’s sneaky legs last winter. This is what we found in our fireplace just the other day…. Yup, it’s a monkey. A Gorilla really. A furry, flannel-wearin’ Gorilla. He’s pretty creepy.

Are you someone who reads product reviews before purchasing on-line? I am and I get so irritated when I like a product, but there aren’t any reviews. So with that being said, I thought I would share my review on some new rugs we recently purchased for our kitchen. They are jute braided rugs from… read more »
On a recent trip to the Dollar store, I found some pretty heart shaped doilies. They were in three different sizes and three different colors ~ white, pink and red. I bought 1 pack of the large white and one pack of the small red. I didn’t exactly know what I was going to do… read more »
I am looking for ideas for Valentine’s decor that I can make to decorate our home for Valentine’s Day. Last year I made this heart collage canvas using lots of red, pink and purple buttons.
