Bye bye old blog design... hello new! I'm so in love with our new blog design. This has been in the works (in my head) for the past few months. I loved our old design; however, it wasn't wide enough and wasn't doing everything I wanted it to do. AND we've had that design for almost a year now! Can you believe it? Let's talk about how our new blog design functions! Navigation menu is now in the top right corner Social icons & search are right at the top! We have … [Read more...]
Hi y'all. Happy 4th. Last week I didn't publish a link party, and I'm not gonna this week either. I'm really tossed about what I want to do. I learned a lot at Haven two weeks ago. I learned a lot about SEO. You can read my part 2 recap on SEO. SEO is always so controversial. Ultimately, linking out to 5 million parties really doesn't help you... yah you might get an extra 5 pageviews for the hours worth of time you just spent linking to the hundreds of parties out their each week, but its … [Read more...]
Today, we are taking a break from our Master Bedroom Revamp Projects and revealing a little side project we completed in less than a half day. What goes best with a brand new outdoor living room? Cider of course! A few weeks ago Mr. Woodsy sent me a series of text messages asking if I wanted an outdoor furniture set. Upon reviewing a few photos I immediately said yes! It was a used set but with a little TLC I knew we could make it our own and make it better! The going price tag was … [Read more...]
Happy Wednesday! I'm so excited to finally announce what I've been organizing over the past few week's. I'd like to say it's a Christmas extravaganza of sorts! Started December 1st we will kick off the 12 Days of Handmade Ornaments. A week and a half of my favorite craft bloggers sharing their homemade ornaments. I got this crazy idea a few months back when I thought it would be fun and challenging to have a DIY Christmas tree filled with homemade ornaments. You see, as a kid I grew up with … [Read more...]
Well, the much anticipated day has finally arrived. As the sun goes down the children come out to collect their treats. We didn't get as many of our projects done this Halloween as we had liked, but we did make 2 awesome videos and guest post on countless amazing blogs this Halloween. Before our party, last weekend we filmed a home tour of our house in all its glory. You can view our home tour, otherwise known as the Mad Scientist Laboratory. We hope everyone has a happy and safe … [Read more...]
Image Source: Southern Women's Show / Where Women Create I had the opportunity to attend the Southern Women's Show in Orlando, Florida this past weekend. What made this show special was that CHA had a craft pavilion set up. This was the first year they had a craft pavilion and I pray its not the last. Where Women Create sponsored the craft stage where they had both paid and free craft demos. I had such a blast meeting vendors, looking at cool new products, and of course attending craft … [Read more...]
Happy Wednesday! Notice anything different? That's right we've got a new design & have taken the deep dark plunge and have moved to WordPress. I'm so excited and terrified at the same time! I have a whole new program to learn. It's a bit daunting (at times), but I'm ready for the challenge. We still have some stuff to tweak (like working on the categories and getting our "contact us" page to connect to name a few), but in the mean time we are up and running with our new design and some new … [Read more...]
I'm over at Southern Lovely today taking part in the "What I Know" series. I'm talking about sewing. Lord knows I'm not a pro by any stretch of the imagination. Most of the times I still feel like a novice. I've shared some simple tips for the beginner sewer along with some easy beginner projects that anyone can create! I hope you'll join me over at Southern Lovely. … [Read more...]
I'm so excited to officially share with our fellow followers that I've (Mrs. Woodsy) joined the Bowdabra Design Team! This has been about a month in the making, and it's been killing me to not share it with the world. I announced it earlier last week on our Facebook Fan Page, upon my bio on the Bowdabra Blog being published. (More reason's why you should follow us on Facebook--you get to learn "breaking" info as soon as I can release it!) Yesterday, the announcement was made official on … [Read more...]

We look forward to running another contest in the coming weeks! … [Read more...]
