New Pillows

I was out in blog land the other day & and came across a lady that had just gotten some really pretty, bright fabric. Well they caught my eye & I started thinking, my family room is so dark to me these days and needs a punch of color. So I after Zumba class (which really hurt my bum) the other day I went to Hobby Lobby to check out their fabric. I found a few I really like. So I got the fabric & decided to re-cover 2 of the 4 pillows I have our family room.


The "dark" pillows!!!

The new brighter pillows!!! I have enough fabric so I still might get a pillow form & make one more pillow. One that is a little more "puffy".


Enjoy your day!!!!!!!!

Storage ideas

Here is a quick storage idea. When you finish using your clear plastic bottles, wash em', dry em' and wala!!!! Nice clear storage for all your craft goodies. I also use Parmesan Cheese containers and Mayo containers to use too. Besides it is good to recycle :)

Italian Chicken

Here is I new recipe I tried out last week. I was telling some friends about it (we like to share quick,easy & yummy recipes). So I decided to scrap it. I like having my recipes quick & easy to get to. I have been swapping the 4x6 size & really like them. I found the recipe here at Sisters Stuff. I find lots of good recipes & other stuff on their fun blog.



Enjoy :)

Mom's Birthday Card


Here is another lollipop flower card I made. It is for my Mom for her Birthday. It was another fun card to make (I think that about all cards I make:0). Hope she likes it.


Here is a close-up. I used Basic Grey papers for the flower & I love using Stampin' up paper for the base of my cards. I like the silky finish & no texture.

Have a super day :)

Post it note holders


I saw these cute post it holders of the sisters stuff blog and wanted to try them out. And a tutorial here at Kerry's. I got some of the acrylic frames at Michaels for $ 1.99 each. I thought I would try the dollar store too. Dollar Tree had quite a few sizes. These first 2 I did are both the 4x6 size. This first one I made for me. I just changed my kitchen decor to chickens. Love the chicken stamp!!!



The second one is for my mom. Her birthday is coming up soon. I like the colors in this one.



There is a side view for ya.
Off to make some more.
Hope you enjoy!!!
