First off, I want to start by telling you I am in LOVE with this project. I have a million and one reasons running through my head as to why one might want to paint flip flops. Literally anyone can do this and I am so excited about the flip flops I will be rocking this Fourth of July. We ran to Walmart on Ross's lunch yesterday. You can see more about our shopping trip here. I picked up some Elmer's Single Painters Pens and flip flops along with groceries and lunch. Talk about a one stop ...

DIY Memo Board
You may have noticed these memo boards in Eleanor's Room. Today I am giving you the low down on how I made them. They were super simple and used supplies I already had on hand. I absolutely love a project I don't have to go out and buy anything for. I reuse, move and change things up all the time. When something doesn't work where it was, I try to think of a better or different way of using it. These cork boards were above Eleanor's crib when it was facing the other way. When I turned her ...
The Power Of Spray Paint
I firmly believe that you can spray paint just about anything and make it look fantastic. There are times I have had my doubts. My Goodwill owl, I wasn't so sure that spray paint would be enough.

So I thought I would give it a splash of color and it would be perfect for Eleanor's room. I needed a place to store all her barrettes, bows and ...
Eleanor’s New and Improved Room
I finally got the stripes I always wanted. I wanted to paint these bad boys back when I was six months pregnant with Eleanor, but my husband thought I was CRUH-azy. I was and I still am. Craziness prevails. My favorite thing about Eleanor's room (which is true for much of our house) is that her room is almost completely DIY/handmade and if it was bought it was most likely altered in some way. All except those darn IKEA dressers. There are a few projects in her room I haven't shared yet, so I ...
Customized Kitchen Counter Herb Garden
Did you all know Walmart has a pretty stocked craft aisle? Everything it took to pull off my herb garden can be found at Walmart, including all these goodies from Plaid (<-- Click here and show some love). Craft supplies at Walmart is a super big deal, because if you are a mommy crafter it seems like the only time you ever have to run out and get this kind of stuff is after everything is closed. Walmart is open 24 hours, so you always have crafting essentials on hand. Very sweet. I ...
