Day 8- Favorite Quote

My favorite quote by Gregg Hewkins


Life is too short to wake up with regrets.
Love the people who treat you right.
Forget about the ones who don’t.
Believe everything happens for a reason.
If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands.
If it changes your life, let it.
Nobody said life would be easy.
They just promised it would be worth it.

Handmade Christmas gifts- Window pane photo frame

I have been wanting to get some Christmas projects completed and luckily this weekend I was able to do just that! I had my husband pull out some of the old window panels that we have been storing & then I was ready to roll.

I started by taping off the window panels, and I was ready to paint. I choose to paint this one black so that it would pop off the wall! Once the paint was dry I picked a few photos that I wanted in each window panel and copied them in black and white.

Next, I found some scrapbook paper to use as a matte around each photo.

Finally, I used scrap booking double sided tape to adhere the photos to the back of each panel.

After placing the "U" hooks and some wire on the back my windowpane photo frame was complete!

I love the way it turned out, what do you think??






1 Christmas gift down only a few more to go!!

The people that I have been the closest to for the longest are my parents! I love them more than words can ever express. They have been there for me and continue to still support me each and every day! I couldn't have asked for two better parents, I only hope that I can be as good of a parent to my daughter as they have been to me!




I love you Mom & Dad!

Thanksgiving banner!

It's beginning to look a lot like Fall and I am loving it! I made this Thanksgiving banner out of scrap booking supplies. I made each letter individually out of card stock and then added scrapbook paper, ribbon, buttons, and any other fall looking embellishment to each before hooking them all together with ribbon. It was a lot of fun and went very quickly! Now its on to making one for Christmas!

An Old Window Turned New

Today I am linking up with two great Monday parties! Jen at Craft-o-Maniac and Tiffany at Making the World cuter! They both have great ideas so take some time to stop by and check them out! Not to mention there are tons of other great crafts being shared with today's parties!

My husband and I have about 20 old window frames sitting in the garage and I thought it would be great to use one to help decorate an empty wall in a bedroom. I started with a plain wood window frame. I painted it a metallic turquoise to match one of the colors in the bedspread. I purchased a wooden letter from Michael's, using scrap booking paper and accessories I decorated the letter. Finally I used scrap booking supplies to decorate the remaining window panels. Now my step daughter has a great, unique decorative wall piece above her bed. Bye-bye boring plain wall!

Thankful Thursday!

Yes, its hard to believe that Thursday is already here, this week has flown by! Its that time of year where we enjoy time with friends and family celebrating many great holidays together, I love this time of year! I have so much to be thankful for, here are just a few of the things I am thankful for on this Thursday:

A Successful Harvest!



Great Smiles and Giggles that surround me everyday!




Wonderful Family!




A Patient Husband!



So what are you thankful for on this beautiful Thursday?
