I finally finished my sign! Whew, glad that is done. I like the way it turned out, but it was such a challenge for me to figure out how to do the lettering. It took a couple of different tries before I found a system that worked. I first used my new Circut Expression machine [...]

I thought I would try my hand at what I just recently discovered to be called “altered art”. I saw this cool idea over at Decor Chick’s blog here and I couldn’t wait to try it! I had just purchased 15 books for $15 and hadn’t decided what I wanted to to with them [...]

Honestly, this is a happy post! I just wanted to give you a little background on how this all came about, so that hopefully you can feel my excitement of my finished project. When we first built our home, we had solid carved wood doors with an iron transom above the door. Attached to the [...]

When we first built our home, we thought we should have a wine cellar. Not because my husband and I are wine connoisseurs, we actually don’t hardly drink the stuff. We just thought it would be a nice thing to have in the style of house we were building. But as things progressed, and the [...]
