Hi guys! We’re just settling into summer vacation & the kiddos and I are enjoying every moment so far.
Last summer I did a series, “I Tried a Pin” & I thought I’d do it again this summer but this time get you guys involved. If you’re like me you’re a pinaholic & have bunches of goodies you’ve been dying to try or see if they really work.
This time… you get to vote & decide which one I should try. So folks here’s the 3 to pick from this time:

Happy Monday friends! Hope you had a great weekend. I’ve got the winner of the Minted giveaway, but first…
Pillows… probably the quickest way to update a room, right… followed by another cheap update… paint! Over the years I’ve created quite a variety of pillows, so I thought it would be fun to take a look back this Monday.

This year my goal is to try to do one a month… I know, ambitious considering my record last year.
Well… it’s only January 3rd and I’ve got one for you!

Hi ~ Happy Monday! Hope you had a great weekend. I am LOVING classic red Christmas plaid and burlap! In fact this week you’re going to see quite a few projects that I’ve done combining the two. 
I had purchased one of those super shiny, disco-ball looking Christmas trees on clearance a few years ago. So with the shape already there I cut strips of burlap, sewed one side with twine and then pulled it till it gathered.
