I have found when I try to stream line what I post in my blog, I just don't bother with it. Maybe that's because I hate to be "told what to do" (even by myself!), or perhaps it is because it take the spontaneity out of it and its just no fun anymore. I don't really know why exactly, but I will definitely try to get cracking getting more of my thoughts, ideas, opinions, etc., on here for you.
Right now I am in the process of weeding extra "junk" we don't use and want out of our house, along with stuff the kids have outgrown (there is a lot to go!) and things that just never get used. In this process I have been forced to look at a lot of things that I haven't even thought about it a very long time and have found some inspirations for other projects! :) Like I need more projects going.... oh well. I will try to at least photo document them here and there and hopefully not be so inconsistent with my posts. But then.... you never know. I have the heart of a gypsy and the brain of a kid with ADHD on crack, so who knows how that will go.
I INTEND to post lots of good stuff.... but time will tell.
An ever changing conglomeration of things. Craft and decorating ideas, sewing projects, seasonal activities, recipes, and various creative exploits.

Decoupage musings
Hi all!
I am getting ready to make a wood address sign for the area by my front door. I picked up a wooden plaque which I will sand, prime, and paint. I also found some cute house numbers that I will also prime and paint with either a dark navy or black. I am going to decoupage some scrap book paper over the front of the plaque, with the painted decorative edge showing through around it, and affix the numbers with a good glue that will (probably) hold up outside in the hot, humid FL climate. Around the numbers I will be decoupaging a "frame" of pretty little flowers in light blue, light red, and pink. I'll take a picture of it before I put it outside so I can share that with you.
I hope all is well with you all. :)
