Adventures In Gingerbread Land

Adventures In Gingerbread Land

Wow, so for the last three weeks I have been off the radar again.  (We had my parents here for two full weeks over Thanksgiving and I was pretty much banned from the computer except for business schtuff.) So anyway, at the beginning of Nov we had our date night group get together.  Each time we get together we choose some sort of theme for the activity.  This month Angie & Aaron were in charge and they chose “Traditions”.  Angie’s…

Video Tutorial – Nickel and Dime Style Bling Rings

Hey guys! It’s been a LOOONG crazy summer!  I know I’ve been MIA entirely too long.  We have had so much going on around here and quite frankly, I decided to cut a few things out of my life for a little while and not stress about them.  It’s been a nice vacation from the blog, but I think I am ready to get back into some crafty action again! We’re still in the process of remodeling our kitchen. We…

Kitchen Remodel Part I

Kitchen Remodel Part I

We’ve been in our house now for over 10 years and we’ve made maaaaany changes to it.  We’ve finished the basement from the concrete up ourselves (only hired out the carpet), ripped out carpet and linoleum and replaced them with wood floors and tile, ripped out our master bathroom and completely remodeled it and have painted gallons upon gallons of paint and added trim and other fun detail pieces to our home. We’ve been gearing up for the biggest change…
