The Writings on the Pillow... literally

I can't sew. I have a great new sewing machine from my boyfriend's mom, but I haven't had any success with the self taught method. I am hoping next time we visit her (at the beach, just thought I would throw that in there), I will get a crash course.
Until then, I will buy pillows, or in this case, just buy a pillow slipcover. I got this one at Target for $4 a while back, and it's a great cover, just a little bland. It's currently in the guest room (still under decoration construction), and now it has a tad more pizazz. FYI: I didn't take a picture of the pillow case by itself, I'm easily excited and forget things! Oops :)

First, I got to use my brand new software, Sure Cuts Alot, for my Cricut. L-O-V-E. I just cut it on basic white card stock.


Then I sprayed the back of the card stock with this wonderful product. Works like a charm every time!

(believe it or not, we are NOT looking for a new place that isn't on the suns surface)
Pressed it into place


Using a foam brush and black fabric paint, started filling it in


Let it sit for a just a minute or 2. Didn't want the paint to crack when I peeled it off, so I removed it before the paint dried.


Here she is! I may add a graphic later on, but I wanted to make sure it was going to work before I got crazy. I really like it. It's sweet, simple and to the point.






I'm curious as to how you other non-sewers make your pillows special. Share your secrets :)

Time for a Tip!

Welcome back for another "HATT"!

TODAY'S TIP:
Have you ever gotten home a gorgeous glass, mirror, or picture and you are just itching to get your hands on it? If your reading this blog, the answer to that is probably yes. Now, how many of those times do you have a pesky price sticker that you wrestle with for WAY to long, only to leave a sticky, papery mess?
Here is the solution. Don't knock it until you try it, I know this sounds crazy!

First, of course, take your glass, mirror, etc...

Then take a peice of plastic wrap.

Run it under water (stick with me, I promise)

Make sure it's really wet, and fold it in half and place the wet wrap on the sticker. Give it a good pat down to cover the sticker really well.

Wait 3-5 mintues


Just pick up the plastic wrap and it's gone. Goo and all!


I'm way to excited to that little 10 second video, but it is my first one I've ever posted!!

Hope that saves you some time, and few gray hairs!

Not really a DIY, but a helpful hint nonetheless! Linked over at ASPTL and Todays Creative Blog!
Hooked up over at Transformation Thursday and TSCC!

Just my thoughts...

From the outside looking in, blogging just sort of looks like an online journal documenting things like baby's first steps and family vacations. I have to admit, I used to be one of the outsiders. I never knew what really was behind it all until I began my "online journal" last October.

Sure, blogging is an amazing a way to document the things I'm doing at such a wonderful time in my life. And as long as the Internet exists (could you imagine? How else could I have found out who sings the song in the Kia commercial with the sock monkey and that red thing from Yo Gabba Gabba?) I will be able to look back with a smile on my face at the things I've accomplished and the kind words, strangers and friends alike, have said to me along the way. I know one day when I am old and gray, I will be grateful for every second I sat in front of the computer typing away.

But what the outsiders don't know, is how influential these .com's can be. I'm very passionate about this little piece of real estate I have here in Blogland, and I don't ask or expect anyone else to be. I LOVE to write, and I love to be creative and I've found this blog to be a great outlet for both. I am proud of the projects I have done, and of the information I have shared. But both of those pale in comparison to how proud I am to have inspired the people in my life to take a step outside the box and try something new. Receiving a text message with a photo of a monogrammed tote bag a friend had made (Renee it was perfect) or hearing stories of couponing success from people who had never thought twice about clipping a coupon (hey Kerri), truly make my day.

The one thing I never expected from this, was the amazing camaraderie. It is a remarkable thing to read comments and emails from people I have never met, who support me like we've been BFF's since the third grade. This feeling of sisterhood is actually what inspired me to write this post. My new friend Jan from Bobbypins Boardwalk (check out her master bedroom walls, thank me later), has been incredibly supportive and a huge inspiration. She wrote a post thanking me for a package I sent her, that I literally had to stop reading because it made me tear up. Not sure when I became such a huge wimp. Nonetheless, it made me realize that it doesnt matter if you were born decades apart, or live hundreds of miles away, we are all here for the same thing. We are here to share our stories, our successes, our failures, and our love of all things creative.

Thank you so much for accepting me into such a wonderful soriety, for taking the time to read my little blog, and for being such amazing and supportive people.

You guys rock! :)

I'm baaaaccck

After 2 days of house arrest with a cold, I am back amoungst humans. Looking forward to getting my first Weekly Deal Round-Up post up tomorrow! Check ya later :)

It's time for...

I'm so excited to be starting a series of posts! Mostly because, now I will always have something to post about... at least on Tuesday. :)

As mentioned in this post, I will kick off my "Here's a Tip" series with a little coupon knowledge. This will make my other new series "Weekly Deal Round-Up", more easily understood.

TODAY'S TIP 2/16/10:
First, let me start by saying that to take full advantage of the Weekly Deal Round-Up, you need to buy the Sunday paper for the biggest city around you. I live in a smaller town 40 minutes outside of Raleigh, but I get the Raleigh News and Observer, NOT my small town Sunday paper. They issue coupons regionally, and the values differ even from city to city around the same state.

Here we go: :) :)

This will be the format in which the Deal Round-Up will be posted. I will do my best to explain each abbreviation, and decode the deal for you.

This is how the deals will look:
Crest Pro-Health Enamel Shield Toothpaste or Rinse $3.50 = $3.50Ecb (Limit 2)
Use the $2/1 coupon from the 2/7 PG (good for any Crest rinse)
Final Cost FREE + a $2 moneymaker!

This is what they mean:
Crest Pro-Health Enamel Shield Toothpaste 4.2oz or Rinse 14.8oz $3.50 = $3.50ECB (Limit 2)
The first line will list the item that is for sale, the size and sale price. It will also let you know if there are any rewards for the purchase, such as ECB’s. It will also tell you if there is a limit to the number of times you can earn those rewards. Here, there is a limit of 2.
Use the $2/1 coupon from the 2/7 PG (good for any Crest rinse)
The second line will list what coupons to use. In the example here, there is a coupon for $2 off the purchase of 1 Crest Rinse, which will look like this $2/1. If there is any stipulation to the coupon, such as size restrictions, it will be listed here as well. It will also tell you where to find a coupon. Here, it's in the Proctor and Gamble Insert from the Sunday paper that came on 2/7/10.
Final Cost: FREE + a $2 moneymaker!
The Third line is the Final Price after the sale price and coupon are combined.

FYI:**YOU MUST HAVE A CVS CARD IN ORDER TO EARN THERE ECB REWARDS. It's free and simple to sign up if you do not have one**

Here is another example:

Listerine Mouthwash 1 L, Whitening Rinse 16oz, Smart Rinse 595 mL: $4.50 each- $5 Gift Card wyb (3)
$1/1 Listerine printable or printable
$1/1 Listerine SmartRinse printable
$1/1 Listerine Smart Rinse, Agent Cool Blue Any RP 1/3, 12/6
$1/1 Listerine Antiseptic, Any 500 mL. + RP 1/3, 12/6
$1/1 Listerine Whitening Rinse, Any 16 Fl. Oz. RP 1/3
Final Cost: $5.50 for 3


Listerine Mouthwash 1 L, Whitening Rinse 16oz, Smart Rinse 595 mL- $4.50 each- $5 Gift Card wyb 3
Again, first line is the item for sale, the size, and sale price. Also, there is a reward for this purchase. You will earn a $5 Target Gift Card when you buy (wyb) 3 participating items!
$1/1 Listerine printable or printable
$1/1 Listerine SmartRinse printable
$1/1 Listerine Smart Rinse, Agent Cool Blue from the 1/3 RP,
$1/1 Listerine Antiseptic, Any 500 mL. from the 1/3 RP
$1/1 Listerine Whitening Rinse, Any 16 fl oz. from the 1/3 RP
Here is an example of having multiple coupons available for a particular item. You may only use 1 manufactures coupon and 1 store coupon (issued by Target, CVS, Rite-Aid, etc, NOT the manufacturer) on an item. All of the coupons available to use are listed, that way, in case you already used a particular coupon from the paper, they are other options for printables. Or if you already reached your print limit for a coupon, there are newspaper insert options for you as well!These newspaper coupons are from the January 3rd Red Plum (RP) insert. Also, the printable coupons will be hyperlinked to direct you exactly where to print them.
Final Cost: $5.50 for 3
Final Price after the sale price and coupon are combined. This example factors in the Gift Card you will receive buy purchasing the items.

**The 3 newspaper insert abbreviations you will see are PG (Proctor and Gamble), RP (Red Plum), and SS (SmartSource). One of these 3 names will be printed on the front of the newspaper insert. Usually, Red Plum and SmartSource come weekly, while Proctor and Gamble is a monthly issue.**

**The Crest deal is actually in affect from 2/14-2/20 at CVS. This is a GREAT one to start with, as you will only pay $1.50 out of pocket, and they will give you $3.50 in Extra Care Bucks(ECB). An ECB is a dollar value good on your next purchase that will print out on your receipt. So after you buy this mouth rinse or toothpaste, you will have, essentially, a $3.50 gift card to use towards your next purchase***
**The Listerine deal is in affect from 2/14-2/20 at Target. This is one you can take advantage of if you have no accumulated any newspaper inserts**

I know this is alot to read and might be confusing, so please, if you have any questions at all, leave a comment or send me an email! Good luck and happy couponing :)

And down they come...

The BF and I have been wanting to take down the ugly, dated sliding glass doors that lead from our dining room into the sunroom, and the kitchen to the sunroom. After cancelled plans for the weekend due to snow, we (he) decided to tackle that very project.
First let me start by saying that the oyster shell shaped chair you see in these photos is not ours. We inheritied it and it will be heading to Goodwill after failing to sell on Craigslist. But for now, that's where it lives.

Here is the BEFORE shot from the sunroom of both doors.

Inside the dining room looking out to the sunroom

Inside the kitchen looking out to the sunroom

Jason hard at work (my job was to photograph and sweep, and occascionally the "hold this so it doesn't fall, be careful it will cut you" person.


Then, on to taking the framing out

Here she goes!

Uh-Oh, take note of his pointer finger, if you can't make it out its pointing down. Why you ask?

Because we can now see into the foundation of our house

REWIND- let's put that bottom part back until we can fix it :)

Here is the dining room entrance doorless. I will be painting the wood where the frame was, the color of the trim.
