I really liked the light green ceramic soap dispenser I had in my half bath but the pump part broke, so I’ve been in the market for the new one for a while. The only problem is that I wanted something simple and I didn’t want to spend a bunch of money. Bathroom accessories can really add up!
I found this awesome piece of wood in my dad’s warehouse like a year ago. Since it came off of a big crate pallet he had, it was technically trash so I snagged it. I especially loved that the wood was rough cut and still had tree bark on it.
One day while I was out and about taking pictures, I found this busted up piece of 4×4 discarded near some road construction. I immediately knew I wanted to make it into a tea light candle holder.
I read the Hunger Games series over Spring Break while I was camping at Big Bend and loved it of course! When I got home, I called my sister to tell her that my 12 year old niece Alexis had to read them and she told me that Alexis was already on book #2! I was so excited! So Alexis and I chatted on the phone about the book and she asked me the most important question you could possibly ask…”are you Team Peeta or Team Gale?” I said, “Of course, Team Peeta!” So I knew what I had to make her!
A couple of years ago I saw this inspiration quote by Abraham Lincoln on a little plaque so I bought it for my mom to hang in her kitchen. I forgot all about it until the other day when I was having a tough time and my dad reminded me of the quote.
So I decided to make myself a little printable in photoshop so I could print it and hang it up in the house.

Ok let me start off by saying I am NOT pregnant…I repeat…I am not having a baby. But my cousin Ryan and his new wife Meghan are! I’m so excited for them! I actually blogged about their wedding back in July.
I found a few driftwood boards last week when I was taking pictures under the bridge in Nassau Bay. My favorite one was a piece of old fence board that was about 22″ long. I found the perfect spot for it over the door in my [lime green] downstairs half bath. I completely stripped the bathroom and redid it but I am stuck on the decoration phase. So I stared at at the board and thought and thought and thought for days about what I wanted to paint on it. Finally I came up with something!
Last night I went to a little party for my friends Jen S. and Michelle who are best friends (since high school) and both turned 30 over the Christmas break (only 2 days apart!). When I was invited to the get together, I knew immediately what I was going to make them…something I saw on pinterest!
