My version of Home Depot's Flower tower....

Let me start off saying that this project was hard and expensive! I had to purchase 2 flats of flowers and probably could have used more. (I made 2 of these towers...one flat per tower.) I think it will fill out in time. Hints...use the fencing they recommend, the spaces in mine were too large. Fill the bottom of the pots with styrofoam as his project takes ALOT of soil.  Will post later in the summer to show you how it is coming along. Happy Gardening!

P.S.  the other pot in the picture is filled with hostas which came back this year. Saw this idea on Pinterest of course!

Krafty Kristen: An old T-shirt..new again!

My 12 year old daughter asked me if she could cut the sleeves off of her t-shirt. It was old so I said she could. She ran and showed me her new creation. She cut fringes on the sleeves and at the bottom of the shirt! She's very creative! 

Homemade gummy bears

I wanted to try homemade gummy bears...they turned out ok, wish they were a bit Moore flavorful. Kids liked them though!

Valentines Day Craft

I purchased these "wooden words" at Joann's. Lay the word face up on your desired colored paper and trace lightly with pencil. Cut out. Spread a light coat of mod podge on word and lay the paper on top. Smooth down.

Bread-tie label!

I saw this idea on Pinterest and it works great! A bread-tie for identifying
our electric cords. Now I know which cord belongs to what device.

Wonderful Lemon Rice Soup

Happy New Year! It was beautiful here this afternoon with snow falling. We had a taste for lemon rice soup. I made this recipe ( didn't have the carrots and onions) and it turned out great!

New bedroom and bathroom color

I'm really into the grey colors now. I had this drab beige/tan color in my bathroom and bedroom and this past weekend, painted the color a light grey. It turned out good. Can't really tell from he pictures...now on to wall decor...
