Decorating With Signs: "Say Something" In Your Decor

Have you noticed how everyone is 

using signs in their decorating now.

The sayings can be anything....

something you find funny, something that encourages you

or even a Bible verse.

In the store the other day I saw this sign.

It is something I need to be reminded of.

It is so easy to always look back for me.

I just chuckled when I saw it.

I'm still wondering where I could use this reminder in home.

Getting Trendy From Your Old Clothes

Dilemma I don't have time to go shopping or the funds.

I really liked these pants, when they were in style.

As you can see they are to short and flare.

So there they hung in my closet, for years adding to the clutter.

While having coffee with a friend and this woman walked in

with the cutest pants on. 

They looked similar to mine in the closet but rolled.

My mind raced to my flare pants, I was hoping I could achieve the look.

Below is the before and after photos.

Flowers from Trader Joes

Have you ever been to a Trader Joe's?

I hope you are fortunate enough to one in your area.

 They have the best deals on flowers.

Party Ideas

Our first grand baby turned 1 this year.

You can imagine it was a milestone in our lives.

My daughter was all over the web getting ideas.

Don't you just love Pinterest and Blogs?

I wanted to share with you some of the ideas she and I came up with.

I want to give her the credit she comes up with amazing ideas.

This party was for a little boy but you definitely could use most

of the ideas for a little girl too.

Time to pack away all the Christmas stuff... here are some things I've learned

It's that time of year, where it's time to put away all the wonderful Christmas stuff.

I am always excited to put it away and do a little spring cleaning at the same time.

On the other hand it is a little sad.  Christmas is such a magical time and it comes and goes so fast.

I learned a couple of years ago that if I store my Holiday stuff in 

clear totes it makes things a lot easier.

The clear totes help me to see the items, that way I don't have to get 

all the totes down.  That's a bonus.
