Happy Wednesday! These lovely snapdragons followed me home from a weekend wedding, so here’s this week’s NEW photo and haiku to remember the occasion.
Brandon & Charli’s Wedding
Fading pink petals
Festivities all over
Best wishes to both

Have a great day! Do something NEW!
Happy Friday! So..in June when my son got married, I was so impressed with people’s creative wedding gifts! I thought, WOW, how do people have the time to be so creative?!? I then realized it probably didn’t take all that much extra time to just add a little something unique to the gifts, so I resolved to try to be a bit more creative. Here is one idea: Copy a cute and “lovey-dovey” saying on the bottom of a glass pan with a black sharpie. (I only wrote on one pan and left the other one normal)…add a couple of dish towels and oven mitts…top it off with a homemade card and whala!…a not-so-boring wedding gift! :o)
I made up the card speedy-quick-like. I used my NEW embossing machine for the textured bottom paper, then just added the graphic below (feel free to print it out for your use).
OR…
Let me know if any of you have any wonderful (quick-but-creatively-unique) wedding gift ideas! This one might get over-used if I don’t have a few other ideas up my sleeve…so please share! :o)
Have a terrific day! Do or learn (OR GIVE AWAY) something NEW!

Happy Wednesday! I’ve been trying to whittle down my wedding preparation to-do list, and thought I’d share our latest NEW project. For my son’s wedding luncheon, we’re having the main course catered, but I’m doing a dessert bar and an Italian Soda bar. SO! Look what my fabulous hubby made: wooden sign holders! I like them a LOT. I may distress the corners a bit…then again, maybe not. Whatdayathink?
I printed the signs from Our Best Bites.
There’s a few more projects on the list, so I’ll be busy trying NEW things! Have a great day! Do or Learn something NEW!

I realize I haven’t been posting much lately! Life happens…ya know?!? So, what’s NEW? Well, a bunch of minor, miscellaneous STUFF!
The photo above is my NEW indoor herb garden that I got for Christmas. I LOVE it! Since I keep it in my pantry, I pay MUCH MORE attention to it than I would if it were outside! I started it exactly one month ago…and the dill is going wild already! I can’t wait until I can actually harvest enough to use! I’ve been psych-ing myself up for harvest time by pinning ideas…check out my ‘Fresh Herb Recipes’ board on Pinterest. I have dill, cilantro, chives, two types of basil and parsley. Fun!…and if I photography any food dishes, it’ll be nice to have fresh herbs on hand to make the photos more interesting, right?!
Have a great day! Do or Learn something NEW!….and if you need a good laugh, check out this funny hilarious video. {I about cried, I was laughing so hard!!!}
Wow! Where did the week go? Seriously!…I just realized I really haven’t posted in quite a while. So!…I want to show you my latest DIY project. My son is getting married soon. The grooms family is in charge of the wedding dinner, and the happy couple has decided on a BBQ theme. You can visit my “BBQ Wedding Dinner Ideas” board on Pinterest and see all the cool things I’ve found!
So the candle centerpiece above will be on the tables….probably under a square of burlap on a white table-cloth. My inspiration came from this burlap covered can from Red Chandelier,
and this distress wooden box from Shanty 2 Chic
The baby’s breath (gypsophila) is about two or three weeks old in this picture. But you don’t mind, do you? OH!…and the BEST part is these COOL candles! (link to Amazon…No open flame!!)
Have a GREAT weekend everyone! Do or learn something NEW!
