Spring Wreath

Since we got married, I've been accustomed to having decorative or holiday wreaths on our front door.  My wonderful husband seems to think I get a little carried away with them sometimes though. So I decided to go with something simple for spring. My aunt had this plain wreath sitting in her garage collecting dust. So I added some fake flowers and a tulle bow I had on hand. I spotted these adorable little birds at Dollar Tree (my favorite) to top it off!

 

I think I did a good job of toning it down, right?

Antique Window Frame

I LOVE all the PB antique window mirrors. I have been dying to DIY one like this...

 

While driving one day I spotted this antique window propped up against a building. I was determined to make it mine! The sweetest lady told me I could have it. The only thing I did to it was clean the glass. It's now hanging in our bathroom with pictures from our wedding day of Seth and I getting ready! It is the perfect fit. I love it!

 

I am still on the hunt for an old window with 6 panes to turn into a mirror but this one will do for now!

I've been MIA!

With good reason though! I got a new job, which is wonderful, but has made for a crazy past two weeks! I am the new Marketing Director for Alumni Hall Stores. If you live in Knoxville you may be familiar with the UT stores here but we have 12 other stores that sell amazing collegiate team gear! If you haven't visited, definitely check us out! I'm a little biased but perfect for gifts, unique team apparel and tailgate gear!

Hopefully I can manage to find time to to still craft and share!

All my bags are packed, ready to go!

I have been anticipating this trip for quite some time now! It is my best friend Berkley's bachelorette weekend in Myrtle Beach! Our little version of an adult spring break! The weather is going to be amazing and 16 wonderful women will be making the trip to celebrate. My packing is a little out of hand but I was a girl scout and "always be prepared" is still my motto. I'm just hoping more things don't pop into my head before my am departure! Aloha!

P.S. Be on the lookout for some beach bachelorette decorating and party games recap when I return!

Mod Podge Letters

I love mod podge! In college we used it all the time for different projects. This one bottle has lasted me forever and still has a lot more projects to go. Recently I made decopodged LOVE letters with some scrapbook paper I had laying around. These letters came from Hobby Lobby, just so happened to have a gift card (Thanks Emma!).

 

 

 

I traced the letters onto the back of the paper and cut it out with a 1/4 inch border to wrap around the edges. First you generously paint on the mod podge and then put the paper on top. Coat the gluey mixture on top of the paper and edges too. This can be a little messy. Then let it dry and you're done!

 

Here they are all done and hanging on my skid pallet shelf in our bathroom! Love the LOVE!
