Lemons.....Summer....

Hello,
I love lemons and recently a friend of mine gave me a huge bag of them, so i decided i was going to clean them all up and maybe just make some lemonade and of course use them in my tea..

Going to make lemonade, enjoy....

Chalkboard Paint! I love....

Hello Friends,
I love going to garage sales, so lately i picked up some frames, empty frames and thought what can i do with them? 
So i decided to go to my local Lowe's have some wood cut to fit and make a chalkboard.  Now i am in LOVE with chalkboard paint and want to use it on everything. lol

And so i started (don't mind my ugly table, i need to redo that too)

Here is one of my frames

here is the finished, it was easy & quick, i only used 2 coats and that was plenty.

here are a few more photos

this is a smaller frame, this one came out really good too :)

this is my favorite spot in my room..

Hope you all enjoyed....

Stay blessed

A Journal or Notes....

Hello,
So I was at my local bookstore and seen these plain journals a 3 pack for like $12.00.

love the plain brown but wanted to decorate it. lol

inside the pages are plain, kinda wish they had lines.

so here is the front cover, i used pages from old books, orangeish roses & other embellishments

Real easy to make and a great gift for someone<3

Enjoy, stay blessed...

Summer Wreath...

hello,
i found this wreath at Michael's and i love it, so i bought it and thought what could i add to it.

My kids tease me all the time saying i love sticks. lol  I wanted to add something to it that says Summer so i added some Hydrangeas, my favorite flower and of course they have green in them which is my favorite color.

Now i like the way it came out but i feel like it is still missing something????
help!  Any ideas???
Right now it is on my front door but i feel it is too plain.

Spring is in the air......

Hello all,
Well it looks like Spring is here especially in California today, it will be in the 80's all week.
I am doing lots of projects and hope to share them all soon.

Take care,

My Passion....

Hello,
Well i have been a bit busy and life has been crazy, i have not posted since January!  I can sit here all day long and read every one's blogs, there are so many talented women out there its unbelievable.  It is my passion to be able to blog everyday but i am a working single mother and when i get home i am so tired.
I want so bad to spend more time blogging because it is what i love to do, i love to decorate, create i love it all and i so wish i could just stay home and fulfill my passion, maybe someday. :)
Well i am going to try and get better at it and try and get some followers, hello i have 1, lol.  My last blog i had 16, but i decided to re-do my blog and now i haven't even had time for it.
Do you all struggle with this like i do????  This year i have 2 weddings and a grand baby on the way and i am so EXCITED!  So needless to say i will be even busier.
I created an inspiration board for my daughter and i think it came out really cute, i will have pictures of it hopefully latter today.
Gidget....

Lots going on....

hello,
OK i know i promised you pictures of my room redo, but i have been so busy lately that i haven't had a chance.  Hopefully i will have pictures this weekend.
Stay Tuned.....

My Pillow....

Hello,
Well here is a picture of the pillow i fell in love with and now want to change the colors in my room. lol
I tried uploading it the other day and for some reason i couldn't upload it.

I LOVE birds so i fell in love right away, the colors are real different for me, it has blues & yellows and normally i am not a blue person, i have no blue in my house, i think its like a Robin's Egg Blue.

So i found this beauty at Marshall's & i found a comforter to match at the blue in it at TJ Maxx! So i thought i would mix in the yellow's with it some green & most of my furniture is white...



Well i will keep you updated i still need a few things, everything is so pricey these days. lol

I need to bargain hunt..

Talk soon.....

My Bedroom....

Hello,
Boy this weekend went by fast and to top it off i am fighting a cold, so the things i wanted to get done this weekend of course i didn't get done.  I moved to a new place last May and i am working on changing the colors in my bedroom, i am working with most of the furniture i have but i want to get rid of my bed the head board and foot board, it is super old and i am tired of it and it really doesn't go with the rest of my furniture.

Here is how my room looks now, i love green so that has been my main color.

This is with the green bedspread, can you see the wood of the bed? lol

And here you can really see the ugliness of the bed.  I have had it for years and now its time to change......

So when i was out Christmas shopping this year i of course found some cute things for myself that i just had to buy and one of them was a pillow that i absolutely fell in love with and that is why i am changing my room and colors.  i am going with a color that i have never really liked and its so not me, but it is in this pillow and i love it.... So i will show you more as i start changing this room of mine, so please stay tuned....

Stay Blessed.....
