Let's get crafty.

Since I have a bit more time on my hands, I would love to get crafty again! Often, I stumble upon blogs that have great crafts/projects and then I bookmark and forget about it. So, I thought I would post a some ideas I'd like to make sometime soon or in the future. :)

An adorable Ruffled Chiffon Scarf @ The Flamingo Toes!

A cute Baby Gym Makeover @ HoneyBear Lane

I've been trying to find cute baby shower gifts--this one would be a fantastic shower gift but too bad I don't have that much time!

Cheap Easy DIY Bathroom Cabinet Drawers @ Pregnant with Powertools

We actually have quite a lot of cabinet space in our new home but this is a great idea to organize stuff under the sink and it totally looks "do-able"!

Birthday Wreath @ bugaboo, mini, mr & me

I love this idea--what a fabulous thing to hang on the door ALL week for someone's birthday! (Maybe I should make one before my husband's on the 20th)

Ruffled Wrist Strap @ Nikki's Nacs

Interchangeable Wreath & Picture Frame Erring Organizer @ Scraps n Scribbles

Or this Earring/necklace holder, which looks fabulous @ Red Heads Craft More Fun

Scrappy Flower Pillow/Brooch @ Cluck Cluck Sew

How CUTE!!

Paper Pumpkins @ Make Mine Lime

Cute for fall! I've been telling Josh we should have seasonal/holiday decorations to change up our home decor! What a great way to have variety in the house!

So, there's a few ideas of craftiness. I'm ready to be crafty again--it's been a while. Sometimes I feel like it's hard for me to be creative again but I just gotta go for it!

Who loves Etsy?

Oh, I do! I do!

I ♥ love Etsy. If you have never been to Etsy, I suggest you visit it! It's a great place to get homemade items and one of a kind things! I could spend all day looking on Etsy because there is SO much! So I decided to look a moment and find a few items that could be some inspirational pieces/decoration items or that are just plain adorable!

I will be grateful for this day.

I found this piece a while ago--we've been going through some tough stuff and thought this would be something that would remind me that I will and CAN be grateful for every single day, even the "rainy" ones.

I just love how this artist puts lots of color, inspirational words, and fun into her artwork. I would love my home to be inspirational--maybe that's because my love language is words of affirmation.

Pillows.... I'm excited to finally have a place to sew because I think instead of buying some I can actually make some, but here's some cute pillows...

Here's something colorful--josh thought I was crazy for liking this but I think this wreath would be so much fun on the front porch! Too bad it sold over a year and a half ago! I think it's pretty!

Lights.... once again, I think I could get crafty and make some look alikes.

Big Big Shell Lampshade

At our new house we have a mailbox right outside our side door. We always joked that it was a selling point for us--whats better than getting the mail in your Pj's?! We love mail and we love our pj's, so it's perfect! Especially on chilly days! Here's a fabulous mailbox that I think we may end up getting (or one like it!):

White Poppy Townhome

Cute! Cute! Alright, enough with Etsy for today! Can you see why I love etsy?! :)

Chairs

So our blog is going to be full of ideas for our future home--I apologize in advance!

I wanted to see what kind of printed chairs are out there for our living room inspiration--something that we can design our living room around! So here's what I've found....

Ok, so I couldn't get the whole chair, just a "fabric swatch". It's from JCPenney.

Chicken & Crackers - Recipe

So, I bought some canned chicken and thought I would try a new recipe! We actually ate this for dinner because we had such a big lunch. This was quick, easy, and tasty!

This would be a great snack for parties! I'm not a big ranch person, however, I couldn't really taste it in this recipe! Yum! So delicous!

Club Style Chicken Salad
1 can (13 oz) of drained chicken breast
3/4 Cup Mayo
3/8 Cup Ranch Dressing (We used Kraft Bacon Ranch, yum!)
3/8 Cup crumbled bacon
1/8 teaspoon Onion Powder
1/9 teaspoon Garlic Powder
---
Crackers or bread

Shred the drained chicken then mix all ingredients together. Serve on crackers or bread.
