Found it on Friday- Mercury Glass Jar

Clearance Jar

 I finally gave up on a normal winter and decided to put my 'winter wonderland' decor away. The most snow we've had this entire winter has been 4" , serious bummer. As I put away the sparkly icicle branches, glitter pinecones and my DIY Mercury Glass vases, I felt a little sad.  I fell in love with the look of Mercury Glass over Christmas. Then I had a light-bulb moment and realized mercury glass isn't just for Christmas or even winter anymore - WHEW.  I had just purchased a new mercury glass … [Read more...]

Word for your Wednesday

I'm trying out something new today - a video instead of a written word. Maybe I'm a weirdo so when I'm in a hurry I actually take my laptop into the bathroom with me and scroll or watch video's while I'm getting ready (maybe that's why my laptop is covered in hairspray). I'd don't know many women who aren't insanely busy - so I hope you enjoy! What do you think - video? Or written? … [Read more...]

Makin’ it on Monday – Cute Gumball Machine

AFTER Gumball Machine

My sweet friend was getting rid of an old gum-ball machine and YAY for me asked if I wanted it. I have issues with getting rid of things that could have potential so I took it home.  Don't get nervous I'm not really a hoarder. They only place I felt I could put this cute little piece was in my daughter's room. I had recently upgraded her room from nursery to tween and thought it could be cute. Problem was, it could NOT stay red! Here's how I made it work: Step #1: Take apart (write down … [Read more...]

On the Set of Twin Cities Live

 "Take Your Happy Pills" Are you a glass-half-empty or glass-half-full kind of gal? Are you expecting a new pair shoes or waiting for the other shoe to drop?

Those are the days we dream of the old bath commercial, "Calgon take me away!" Did you know we have a choice? We can actually decide to be positive … [Read more...]
