A couple weeks ago, I got to help design a booth for Butterstick Bakery & Deli (Iowa Park, TX), and Castle Events (Wichita Falls/Dallas) at the KFDX Bridal Market 2016. The event was a lot of hard work, but a lot of fun and I really enjoyed meeting a ton of people. I thought I'd share a few photos here of my projects and how the booth turned ... read more

Fall Around the House – 2015
Since fall is quickly heading into winter, I wanted to show you a little of my fall decor before it all disappears to make way for Christmas decor! I usually keep fall pretty simple, but I think I may have done more this year than I normally do. ... read more
Duck Egg Blue Cutie
So, we sold our massive desk set about a year ago with plans of downsizing so we can create an office/craft space/music room. I found a small, UGLY desk on Craigslist for a steal, so we bought it with plans of painting it. Well, life happened, I had major surgery, blah, blah, blah, and I never got around to it. Until last week. And the sad ... read more
To Paint or Not to Paint….
....That is always the question. It's always my idea, always Hubby's question. In this case, Hubby asked for some advice and decided to go ahead and paint. YAY!! And I really saved him a lot of money, y'all. I'm good like that (wink). When we first got our kitchen (ahem) mostly finished (and that's still the current state), we bought some plain ... read more
Laundry Room Progress & A Sink
We are slowly but surely getting our laundry room the way we want it. We started working on it almost a year ago…yikes! I shared all about it in this post here. We ran into a problem when Hubby realized he couldn't get over to that part of the house underneath the house in order to move plumbing around. We were planning to have another ... read more

Our Family Photo Session Favorites!
First, let me wish everyone a Happy New Year! Along with everyone else, I can't believe 2015 is already here; another year gone. I do have some goals for this year, but I think I'll keep them to myself (don't want to jinx it), and share some favorites from our recent photo session. All photos were taken by Rebecca Cain of RCain Photography, and she ... read more
Christmas Around the House 2014
Every year it seems I can't get my Christmas decorating done until the last minute - and this year is no exception. Does anyone else feel like this has been the shortest December ever? Mine's been especially busy….I started the month with a trip to NYC (maybe more on that later), my dear Father-in-Law passed away while I was gone, and we had our ... read more
Fall Around the House 2014
Oh boy, this blog has suffered lately. Can we say busy?? I finally had a chance to put out a few (and I do mean few) fall decorations. Fall is my second favorite time of the year (Christmas coming in at first), so I like to put out a few things to be festive. I don't get quite as festive with it as Christmas, though. I added a few mums and ... read more
