A few years back when I first started blogging I shared how I did a mouse pad makeover. Well, fast forward 2.5 years later and 539 blog post later and I am in need of making over my mousepad once again! Since everyone knows by now I have a love for all things Washi Tape I had to make over a mouse pad using my beloved and favorite crafting supply! This project took me a little under an hour to create and has left a lasting impression on my desk in my craft room! Supplies: Mouse … [Read more...]
Most of us have them... those ugly and boring builder's grade mirror. Very few of us actually do anything to jazz them up. We recently created a video over on the Homes.com blog: Frame a “Builder Grade” Mirror. This was a project that we had wanted to tackle for quite some time. You might remember, years ago when we first started blogging we shared our Guest Bathroom Mini-Makeover + Black Crown Molding. Instead of framing out that builder's grade mirror we decided to remove it and … [Read more...]
The other day I shared a haul video of product I received from my friends over at Plaid Crafts. They have a new stencil line out; Handmade Charlotte stencils! These are cardboard stencils created from the popular blogger; Handmade Charlotte! I always love supporting others and I really love to paint and stencil. I immediately knew what I was going to paint a Chevron Step Stool. I won a step stool at Haven last year. I use it all the time and have thought about transforming it with paint. I … [Read more...]

Last year, I was contacted by DecoArt Paint during the same week Martha Stewart Living contacted us to work on the Deck the Halls project. When it rains it pours, right? That is the saying. We had been asked to contribute a project to the 2013 catalog. The first thing that came to mind was the dresser that had been sitting in our garage for over two years. You see... Mr. Woodsy dad found it on the side of the road for us, put it in his truck, and hauled it to our house. We weren't sure if we … [Read more...]
Last summer, our neighbor (and good friend) came to us and asked if we could drill holes in an old Coca-Cola crate to make a dog bowl holder for her 5 month old yorkie. She was hoping this would solve the problem of him picking up his bowl and running around the house with it once he was finished! Our neighbor just wanted us to flip the crate over and drill holes. If we did this, the Coca-Cola writing would be upside down. Mr. Woodsy decided to take it to the next level without our … [Read more...]
Christmas is right around the corner... as in T-minus 3 days! I just finished up the last of my shopping this morning and tackled wrapping the last of my presents.

A few years ago when Hobby Lobby first opened in Central Florida I stocked up on a wide variety of pendants. Knowing that one day I would want to make customized pendants using the fabulous Dimensional Magic! Before we left for vacation I made this haunting necklace. I decided to add a layer of Glow-In-The-Dark Mod Podge before sealing it with the Dimensional Magic to give it a mysterious and enchanting look. I plan to give this to one of my favorite spooky ghouls! Supplies: Halloween … [Read more...]
Today we have Jacque and Matt from theDIYvillage. As you may have read in the past... we have had the privilege of hanging out with this awesome duo not once, but twice. I am so excited that they agreed to help us out while we are recuperating from our lengthy flight home yesterday. I not only adore this couple but I adore this Halloween project! I can't wait to run out to the store and buy all the supplies and make tons of snow globes for our home! ------------ Thank you Katie & Jon … [Read more...]
A few weeks ago we shared our Restored Wood Outdoor Table with Gail from My {re}Purposed Life, and today I'm excited to share it with our readers! We snagged this table off the curb over a year ago, while walking our yorkie on our evening walk. We spotted a child's wood table, umbrella, and chairs from a distance on the curb. We non-chalantly walked over to the curbside find, examined it, and after a few minutes of debating back and forth we decided that we would take the table with us. As … [Read more...]
