Our first song

Yet another inspired Pinterest craft! Here I printed out the lyrics to At Last by Etta James, since that was our first dance when my hubby and I were married. I framed it in a black frame and have it in our bedroom. I absolutely love this craft! 

January Craft Day!

First craft day of the year was based on a Valentines PINspiration. We had a great time even though I stared at my wooden piece for 3 hours without doing anything. It took me FOREVER to finally come up with something and I actually really liked the end result.

Creativity takes some people a little longer =)

Christmas Window Decor

Since it's officially December 1st and clearly Christmastime, I have continued to craft and make decorations in the home as much as possible. Today I completed yet another project: a window decor. I purchased shiny glitter paper in red, silver and green at Michael's.

Then I simply cut out the circles and used adhesive to secure them on the silver string. While the pictures may not do it justice, they look really great in person =)

1920's Murder Mystery Dinner Party

It was my sister's 25th birthday and she chose to do a Roaring 20's themed Murder Mystery Dinner. I did the decorations and gladly. The challenge was trying to decorate so many rooms on a tight budget, but we did it where it all worked together nicely =). Purple is her favorite color so it was the main one used for the decor.
