I few months ago I did a Round Up on a few things you would find in my Dream Living Room, and included this cool Melting Wall Clock. that I found on my Etsy.com wanderings.

While back home in Pensacola for the the holidays, I noticed this beauty

I like it even more then the one I origionally found!!

This lovley can be found here.

Thanks Corey!!!

An oldie but a goodie.

* This is a post that I uploaded pictures for in January.....and since my poor blog has suffered some MAJOR neglect over the past few months, it never got posted.

For Christmas this yeah Jace and I went home to FL, here are just a few of the pictures I snapped while home.

1. Read 50 books (6/50)

The Book of Honor: The Secret Lives and Deaths of CIA Operatives.

This is exactly what I was talking about when I said that I wanted to read something a little bit "deeper".

Ted Gup does an a fantastic job bring names, faces, families, and stories to the "nameless stars" of the CIA. Each of the chapters is written well enough to stand alone as a short story, but over all he really does brings to life these fallen American hero's and solidifies the dedication and sacrifice that some individuals and families make so that we all may enjoy the freedoms we have become so accustomed to.

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.
