I’m sure you would agree with me that every single drawing that comes from little hands is precious! However some drawings are simply too beautiful to go on a refrigerator door – they will soon turn dusty and wrinkled and will eventually be thrown away. For those very special ones, here is an easy way to transfer… Continue Reading
There is something beautiful about an embroidered monogram. The catalogs that come through the mail are filled with sheet sets, towels, napkins, canvas totes and more, all with the option of adding your monogram in a variety of styles and colors. I’m sure that you love them, too. I’m especially fond of the personalized bedding. Just a set of monogramed shams transforms… Continue Reading
Just because we did not spend a fortune on our IKEA furniture, doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t do our best to keep it fresh and clean!

My daughter found this cute fabric tape at Paper Source the other day, and bought it for me, knowing I would do something with it! Sure enough, as soon as she brought it home, I got to work! Remember those three IKEA desks I put in a row in the boy’s room? Well, they may… Continue Reading
