Easy Fire Pits for S'Mores

We did this tonight while BBQ'ing at our house. It was so fun and so easy!

We will totally do this again this summer. 

Multiple Times!

A few on my items included:

Finding an old dresser on the local classified website and re-do it for my media cabinet in my Family Room.

via

Find an old coffee table on the classified website/thrift store and make it into a picnic table for my kids to use outside.

Paint my kitchen cabinets white.

Have Flow Wall panels installed in my garage so I can get all the clutter off the ground.

SNAP!

For Valentines Day my husband bought me my ticket to go to the SNAP! Blog Conference. 

It's next week and I'm really really excited! 

I've slacked off a bit lately in my blogging but I hope to be reinvigorated after attending and I hope to learn some really great things that will be helpful for me.

Are you coming too? I would love to get to know some of my readers! 

Shoot me a comment and let me know.

And one of the best things for me is that it's only a 20 minute drive from my home!

I seriously love Thanksgiving Point. What a perfect venue for this conference.

And right in the middle of the Tulip Festival.

The lovely people at AccuQuilt are giving one of my readers a Go! Baby AccuQuilt machine ($139) PLUS 3 dies of your choice! (The die prices range from $15 upward to $65+). I've had my AccuQuilt machine for about 6 months and I have used it a ton of different ways.

Felt Bird Ornaments

Tic Tac Toe Board

Mobile

And recently the machine was used to make the embellishments on these cute Kleenex covers for your purse.

 I think they made like 100 of these or something...So much faster and easier with the AccuQuilt, and the results are perfect.

So if you want to try to win one of these babies, now's your chance!

St Patricks Day Boxes

I saw these cute boxes on the Silhouette Blog and I knew I just had to make them for some ladies that I visit often.

I used the box template and then added the shamrock to the side of the box.

And like on the Silhouette blog I cut up some cellophane bags and pasted them over the shamrock on the inside of the boxes so the candy wouldn't fall out.

I used a punch to cut out the circle for tags and just added a yellow button to contrast with the "gold" inside.

A little green tulle and green bakers twine topped it off.

Small but BOLD

I've been looking for a long time for a new rug to put by my garage door when you walk in.

My criteria: Not Brown, something with some color.

Every. Thing. Is. Brown.

Today I stumbled upon this beauty, but the price tag was more than I wanted to pay for.

I walked around the shop some more but couldn't get the rug out of my mind, I knew it would look so awesome by my door and I knew that this would be an item that if I didn't buy it I would be ticked for ever that I never did because it was so perfect. So I forked over the cash and decided just to be happy about the purchase!

I took the old rug and chucked it out into the garage...(To find a spot later out there in front of the Freezer or something) next to the dirty car and the dirty diaper bucket.
