I’m not a fan of scary-ness. I like my Halloween to be cute. So I decided to bring back an old 80’s craft using crushed aluminum cans. Crushed can art was pretty darn popular many years ago and everything imaginable was made from aluminum cans, from Christmas ornaments to Easter bunnies. So how about witches?…
We took the motorcycle out again this past weekend and checked out an antique and craft show up in Alpharetta. The show was nice and I got lots of great ideas. Unfortunately, we had to sit in every single red light getting there and a 45 mile trip actually took us over two hours. Motorcycles…
Every Friday night is date night for me and my husband. We used to go to the same Italian restaurant every Friday, but they closed down last summer and we’ve been on a never-ending quest to find a replacement ever since. Last week we tried a place that I just happened to run across while…
An old vintage craft- create beautiful ice candles for the holiday season! This step by step tutorial shows you how to make these unique holiday candles. My family didn’t have tons of money when I was growing up. Oftentimes, mom would scrimp and re-use things when she had a decorating project in mind. I imagine…
This past weekend, we took the motorcycle and went to the Chili Cook-off in Stone Mountain. Yep. Probably not the best idea for someone that is trying to get a hold on that food-eating thing, but my husband suggested it and I really never like to turn down something he suggests. Simply because he does…
My husband bought a Harley last year and we’ve done our best to put some mileage on it since. Unfortunately, the weather has been a bit against us, first by being very cold until late spring and then it made up for it by being ridiculously hot all summer. But we have enjoyed getting out…
So I’m not much of a Halloween decorator. It’s not that I have anything against Halloween. I’m just not a fan of the color orange. You see, I had a traumatic experience with the color orange back in first grade. It was never my favorite color to begin with. When I started school in a…
There is Sandy, our senior citizen German Shepherd. Sandy is a sweet, but cranky old lady with a bit of arthritis, a few issues with her hips and a slight bladder control problem. Can’t hardly fault her for being a bit cranky with all those issues. But that isn’t why she’s in trouble. Over the…
A group of my friends and family have been exchanging Christmas ornaments with each other every year for the past 18 years. We make an ornament for each member of the group and meet the first Saturday in December to exchange them. Since there is usually about 15-20 members each year, that means from October on,…
Want to make an unusual Christmas decoration from something as surprising as baby food jars? A beautiful holiday tree and recycled craft! Create something amazing with this step by step tutorial. This is an idea that I first saw in a craft show. Yep, I’m one of those irritating individuals that goes through craft shows…
Along with the rest of the country, we seem to be suffering through a particularly hot and humid summer this year. Which seemed to result in my husband and I avoiding things that make us go outside. Really, not the best for everyone as I need to get exercise in my day or I can…
Everyone who knows me knows that I’m not the best in the kitchen. I get by, but I just have this short attention span when it comes to cooking. I can sit for days patiently glueing thousands of beads to a crafty project, but tell me to stand in the kitchen and watch something boil…
Hi, my name is Suzy and I’m a chocoholic. I hang my head in shame. I have been know to consume an entire box of chocolates in one sitting. So needless to say, I’m kind of a fan of the stuff. Unfortunately, I appear to be allergic to the stuff as it seems to make…
I created this quilled floral frame using a basic wooden frame and some colored cardstock. You see, I’m a terrible procrastinator and my sister-in-law’s birthday is a prime example. As birthday’s do, hers always comes around the same time each year, but each year it still always takes me by surprise. Maybe it’s the fact…
One thing that I love to experiment with is faux finish painting. My most popular project by far, is my Faux Stained Glass technique using paint and glue. I’ve also created some cool looks with a Faux Textured Chair Rail and Faux Carved Wainscoting using textured wallpaper. This week, I tackled a whole new Faux…
