New Year ~ New Projects!


Happy New Year friends!  Glad to be popping in here on my blog...I have had a super busy and fun Holiday season!  I have some fun new projects to share with ya'll.  Yesterday, my dad brought me some fun pieces from my grandmother's house in Alabama...She was going through some old stuff and trying to get rid of some of the things she doesn't need.  I plan on transforming some of the furniture & artwork to make it work in our home.  This little stool is my first project, and I love how it turned out!  Right now I have it sitting under our entry way table...but it could easily work in a nursery some day...it's pretty versatile.  The best part was that I had all the materials already, so this project was free!  Hope you like it!



I took off the original fabric, then covered the existing foam in a layer of quilt batting.  Then I stapled my new chevron fabric to the seat.  I used a glossy white (my fav!) spray paint for the frame, and it was done...so simple!



I used the same fabric that I used on my kitchen pin board...I love it!

Have a wonderful Monday!

P.S.   

Will ya'll be tuning in to The Bachelor tonight?!?  I sure will!

Christmas Card Book ~ Our Cards Through the Years

Three years ago when we celebrated our first married Christmas together, I was so excited to make our first Christmas card.  Giving and receiving Christmas cards is one of my favorite parts of the Christmas season.  It never gets old to get a card in the mail :)

As a way to keep our cards through the years, I created an album that is now one of my most precious possessions.  Each year, I have added our Christmas card to a page.  Over the years, it will be so neat to see how our family has grown and changed!  I also include our envelopes with our address labels, so we will always remember the different places we have lived over the years.  If my children are anything like me, they will love to have  this keepsake someday to reflect on our family that my husband and I have started. 

Our first Christmas Card is on the cover.


Amy Owens from Amo-Ink designed our first Christmas card.  We decided to do postcards, and I love how this turned out!


For our second Christmas, I created our card with PicMonkey & assembled them myself.  I LOVE how these cards turned out, but they did take a very long time :)  The address labels are from Erin Condren...they have the cutest labels and gift tags!  


This year, I opted for quick and easy.  We have been so busy this season, that we haven't had time to take family photos, so this picture at our Pumpkin Carving party actually captures our life pretty well right now...a little chaotic :)  (notice the dogs...tucker is trying to eat the pumpkin!)
Thank goodness for Walgreens!  I ordered these and picked them up within an hour.  I really liked a few of their designs, and decided to go with more of a non-traditional color route this year. 



I love this season and collecting cards from friends and family.  I keep them all in this little basket by our front door.


Do ya'll love getting Christmas cards as much as I do??

Hope all of you are having a very blessed and merry holiday season!

Christmas Wish List ~ Coffee Table Books

I will be sharing a series of my Holiday Wish Lists with you guys over the next week.  I have loved reading all of the great gift guides out there and have been working on my list.  I am very particular, and it often takes me a while to decide on decor that I bring into my home.  It has to be just right...and my style is always evolving...but when I find something that I love...I really love it.  Today, I'm sharing some great books that I would LOVE to have in our home to not only read, but also use as coffee table books...they are all so pretty!  I've had my eye on most of these for a long time, and hope I see one of them sitting under the tree!




We are headed to Mexico on Sunday for a week, and I can't wait!  I'll have lots of free time finally and plan to get back to blogging when I can!

Have a great weekend!

It's Beginning to Look Alot Like Christmas...

Hello friends!  I wanted to pop in real quick to share some pictures of our Christmas decor so far in our new home.  This year is especially fun to decorate because we actually have some space for our decorations!  I just started on Sunday night...so here is a quick peak on things so far.  We are planning to go buy a real tree on Sunday afternoon with some friends, which will go in front of the big windows in our living room...can't wait!  But, in the mean time, here is our little home...


Dining Room Tree!




Little Tucker is waiting for her matching stocking to come in the mail :)



I followed Cassie's cute sequin tree tutorial for these last year!



As soon as we get our real tree up and lights outside, I'll share more!

Happy Holidays everyone!

Thanks BarkBox!

Hello blog friends!  I have missed you!  I wanted to stop in real quick to share what came in the mail today.  If you have a furry one at home, you should definitely get them a BarkBox!  We got ours today and couldn't be more excited!  Finnley was a little afraid of the box, so she did not want to pose for the camera...but Tucker isn't so shy :)


...told you she's not shy :)





I promise to be back soon with more updates from our world.

xoxo
