Ceiling Medallion Mirror

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle Johnnie) — Sat, 25 Feb 2012 23:00:00 +0000

I've seen lots of beautiful round mirrors with chunky frames....and they cost A LOT of money. This idea from Fit, Crafty, Stylish...And Happy is cool. She took a round ceiling medallion and made it into a mirror! Beautiful and less expensive than what I've seen.

See the ceiling medallion mirror.

Cake Pop Fondue

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle Johnnie) — Sat, 25 Feb 2012 16:03:00 +0000

I think this is SUCH a great idea!!!!! Cute As A Fox posted about doing a cake pop fondue at a birthday party. I love fondue and i love the idea of doing it with cake pops!!!! Sounds like so much fun. This would be really fun for a teenager party too.

Basketweave Quilt

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle Johnnie) — Sat, 25 Feb 2012 00:33:00 +0000

I'm totally loving this new technique by Honeybear Lane for making a quilt!!! Remember in elementary school when you would make little baskets or hearts by weaving paper strips? This is the same concept except it is with fabric! It looks beautiful and takes less time than cutting and sewing a whole bunch of squares together! Awesome.

See the basketweave quilt tutorial.

Rose Cake Pops

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle Johnnie) — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 22:00:00 +0000

I don't usually feature food on this blog and I know Valentine's Day is behind us, BUT these rose cake pops from Pint Sized Baker are too cute not to mention. I would much rather get a half dozen of these from my husband than real flowers! (Is that bad? I love treats!) These could be made for many different occasions.

See the rose cake pops.

T-shirt Decor Balls

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle Johnnie) — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 15:46:00 +0000

Decor balls are so popular. My Covered Bridge made some balls using t-shirts and I think they look pretty cool. They would look great mixed in with some other decor balls. These could add some color to the neutral balls you might buy at the store.

See the t-shirt decor spheres.

Shag Pillow Case

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle Johnnie) — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 00:00:00 +0000

Date Your Husband (or Boyfriend!)

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle Johnnie) — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 01:28:00 +0000

It's easy after marriage and kids to get caught up in "real life" to put your husband and that relationship on the back burner especially when time is in short supply and money is tight. However, I know it is important to continue to date your husband after marriage and kids! For great ideas on dating your husband (or just dates in general), visit The Dating Divas. They definitely know how to do that! Learn how to date your husband!
