Memorial Day is a special holiday for me. It is the day we honor the Heroes who have paid the ultimate price and laid down their lives for our freedom. I have such respect and admiration for the brave men and women of our Armed Forces. And especially for their families!!

So I was thrifting and I saw this super cute little table. Ok yes it’s dirty and it has that old school yellowish wood color to it. But the lines are gorgeous and I knew I could make it into something cool. My first thought was to paint it turquois. Cute huh?

Paint it white and glaze … [Read more...]

It’s time for May’s Book Club Meeting!! Uglies is one of my favorite books of all time and I hope you guys enjoyed it as much as I did!! Here are my thoughts on this book: Uglies is one of those books that you read late into the night. Sacrificing sleep so you can see what happens to Tally and the smoke. I was mesmerized with the idea of a future where being pretty is the only thing that mattered. This was an entirely new concept to me and I loved exploring it. I fell in love … [Read more...]
