Plywood St Patrick’s Day Wreath

Plywood and Moss Shamrock Wreath

I had this idea which involved a jigsaw: a Plywood St Patrick's Day Wreath. Awesome right? I have to say, this is possibly one of my most favorite projects to date.  I'm just so gosh darn impressed with myself!  I tried something new, and it turned out great.  And I'm sad that I have to take this down in a few weeks because I feel like the ratio of loving this=time it can be up for all to see and appreciate is not equal.  (But don't … [Read more...]

Holiday Linky Parties Announcement!

Linky Parties:  Here's the story with me.  Back like two years ago, I started a linky party.  I was super impatient that I didn't have like 500 links in the first party so I gave up after a few weeks.  I really regret that decision for several reasons and I have thought seriously about doing a linky party since.  But there are SO many linky parties, it's hard to remember them all!  So here is my compromise.  I'm going to have linky parties … [Read more...]

Blogging with a Bigger Purpose

ALWAYSremember

Last Saturday I went to the Build Your Blog Conference put on by the amazing ladies of Six Sister's Stuff.  I came away really inspired by this conference.  The keynote speaker was given by Brooke Walker, the host of Studio 5, and it was amazing.  Really, very inspiring.  And it got me thinking about what I really want for this blog, the BIGGER purpose. I used to think the bigger purpose was to inspire creativity.  But I realize I want it … [Read more...]

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Avocados from Mexico for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. Well folks the Super Bowl is tomorrow and that can only mean one thing...food!  Okay, I guess it also means watching football for some people but definitely not me.  Sorry to disappoint but I could not be anything further from a football fan.  The only team I care about is my Alma Mater BYU and even then...meh.  But I … [Read more...]
