Paint Me Beautiful

I found this gem at Goodwill for $3.  Some might have walked away, but I saw a beauty.  
A little paint and she's good as new!

Picture Perfect


Slowly, but surely I am masking the white walls of my apartment.


In the living room I've added to the collage of pics with a few different accents. One new addition is the "B," which is simply a wooden cut-out from Hobby Lobby.  As seen in my previous posts I have taken two black 8x10 frames, painted them mint green and added unique accents to make them stand out. With one of the frames I removed the backing and added burlap to add to the vintage feel.  This frame displays my parents wedding picture, pictures of my Mother as a child and a picture of my Grandpa Ray in the Navy.  With the other frame I simply wrapped the glass with lace ribbon.


A blast from the past. My spare bedroom is filled with Boo memorabilia.  So many memories in one small space; from high school to college and so much more.  I can't help but love my Grandma's little red dining table which is now utilized as my crafting station.

I hope you like!  Have a super crafty day!

Family Ties.

I have desperately been missing my Montana homestead.  Both of my parents grew up in Montana, I was born there, but when I was just a little tyke we moved away.  Growing up I spent every summer heading back West; working the garden with Grandpa, cooking with Grandma, driving feed trucks at 8 years old, climbing grain elevators, adventures on the gator and so much more.  Sometimes it seems we take those precious moments for granted, what a wonderful childhood!  I am thankful for the incredible family I have been blessed with and all the wonderful adventures we have been on together.  Sounds like I need to start looking for a flight...my weekly Sunday chats with Grandpa Ray just aren't enough.  It's time for a visit.
