DIY Home Sweet Home

SAY WHAT?!!! Say Anything - Review

Before all of the hassle of moving three times in one year, my family used to enjoy a weekly game night. I really miss those days. Whether we had a house full of friends and family or just us, we always had a blast.

DIY Duster

Ever since I found this tutorial on Sew Much Ado for a diy swiffer duster, I've been meaning to make a couple of my own. Of course after seeing the tutorial months ago I thought I would be able to remember the tutorial without looking it up again.

Mine turned out slightly different but still works like a charm.

Potato Scramble - Yummy Goodness

I saw this recipe on pinterest a few days ago

I'm not much for runny egg yolk but I love eggs and I love potatoes so I decided to give it a try.

Here is what mine looked like.

Last Minute Halloween Bag

Wow!!

Halloween sure did sneak up on me!

I knew it was coming.

I had the kids costumes already picked out and pumpkins already bought. And in my adventures of unpacking I even managed to find the girls Halloween bags that I made for them last year.

Of course that was 2 weeks ago and didn't want them cluttering up the house at the time so I shoved them back in the box and decided to wait till Halloween was a little closer. As the days went on I kept thinking I should probably get them out before they got lost in the masses of boxes but in the end I decided to put it off for another day.

Yesterday morning after a short text message conversation with my sister, the decision was made to check out a local Trunk-or-Treat last night. I was thankful that I still knew around-a-bout which box contained the Halloween bags. I headed out to the garage and managed to find them in the second box I opened. But I was not too excited when I pulled out these.

Creative ways to add a pop of color to your room

My youngest favorite color is purple. While I'm not to fond of the color myself I've been searching for some ideas to add a pop of purple to her room without it being too whelming.

Here is what I found so far.

DIY Pier 1 Knockoff Decorative Plate

Check out this amazing plate made by Jennifer from Rustic Renditions

I wanted to share this fun wall decoration that I made for my daughters room. Unfortunately, this was one of those spur-of-the-moment projects, and I didn't think to take photos during the process. In all honesty, this was my first time painting on a stretched canvas, and my first time using acrylics so I wasn't to sure that it would even turn out. However, I'm quite happy with the results and my daughter absolutely loves it so I will do my best to explain how I did it.
