Round Up : Keep on keepin' on.

Recently this poster has been ALLOVER the place, and I am totally OK with that. I love the message and history it represents, and over all it's a simple little affirmation to give your self when the going gets tough.

I stumbled across a few of the iconic images plastered onto other every day items and thought I would Round them Up and share some of my favorites!!!

(There will be another Round Up on some fantastic posters displays soon....just you wait!!!)

Floor Mat

What an awesome way to welcome your guests!!!

But I prefer this aqua beauty!

Watter Bottle.

My water canteen is never too far away, and with the bright color it would be hard to miss place this one.

Tissues.

I'm a constant sniffler and sneezer, so these would make a great addition to my notoriously overstuffed and unorganized purse.

Cuff links.

An awesome gift for a groom? graduating senior? I nice message to bestow on someone starting a new exciting chapter of their life.

Coffee Mugs.

Almost darling enough to make me want to replace my brand new set........or maybe a few of the red ones would fit right in?!

Baby Onsie.

Although not cute enough for me to want my own to dress up, this definitely has me hoping for more babies in the future for the rest of the family( DO YOU HEAR ME, MEGAN & DEVON!?).

Throw Pillows.

I'm completely in L-O-V-E the Union Jack pillow!! I've been looking for ways to display it in the house(woooohooooo dual citizenship shout out!!!!) and I think this may be it.

Book.
I picked up this book last year when I stopped into an Urban Outfitters last year and I just love it. It's full of little inspirational quotes and tidbits.

"Better bread with water than cake with trouble"~ Russian Proverb

P.S. I found this too, pretty funny.

Trashy Trashy.

This is an old project, but I still love it (and am still pretty proud when some one notices it) so much I thought I would share it with you all.

The trash can was looking a little ragged after a few months of standard wear and tear of being in a high traffic area.


So what do you do when you catch the crafting bug, need something to fill a bit of time, and are working on a budget?!?!??!?!?!

You got it!!!!!

Mod Podge makes EVERY THING better. This is a fact.

Learn it. Live it. Love it.



We originally got the can from Walmart (this is the closest one I could find) for about $15 bucks. I lightly sanded the surface, and then went to town on it with my pictures in the same way I did on the Crafts and Drafts trays.

Cup O Joe.

This past weekend, I replaced my collection of mismatched, chipped & broken, and random sized coffee cups for a more "grown up" looking matching set.



I picked up this cute set for ...................drum roll...............a buck each!!!!!! I was returning some supplies to Michaels (one of my most favorite places ever) and saw these in the $1 section.
















































































I love the simple black & white pictures on them. And the positive little messages of encouragement are a nice added pick-me-up to help with my Monday morning cup of coffee.

Chop Chop.

My friend Cassie reminded me of this little tip a few weeks ago an I just remembered to post it.




Using chop sticks for your gardening or potted plants is cheap (often free)and easy. Whether you use them to poke holes in hardened soil for water to seep in, using them as climbing and support stakes for your crawlers, or posting herb labels, the uses for chop sticks in your gardening are endless.

NOTE:

I know I haven't posted any thing in 2 weeks, but I'm hoping with a little spare time this weekend I'll be able to post a few updates to the list, a tutorial or 2, and some pics from some more beautiful places and great times.
