Becoming the Wife God Created Me To Be
Easy Mounted Photos you can make yourself! Mounted photos make great decor, and as I discovered, they are very easy to make. We have this lovely flowering bush in our back yard. A couple weeks ago when my mom came up and we all went for a walk and took photos, she took a photo of my bush. Then she put a verse from the Song Of Solomon on it and printed it for me. So pretty and springy, [...]
The formal dining table, where friends gather and chat. Where stories and laughs are shared, and we relax in each others fellowship. You are the queen of your kitchen. Armed with pots, pans, knives, mixing bowls and more, your mission is to deliver a wonderful meal that will tingle the taste buds of your guests. The table is beautifully set and you almost hate to ruin how pretty it is, by adding food. You use your best dishes, because when [...]
While in the Keys we made sure to hit the beach and while there, we also collected shells. Today I’m sharing how I made a beach vacation shadow box! Ah yes, it looks so nice doesn’t it?! What you will need: Beach Vacation Shadow Box A shadow box Photos Paper Glue Shells Sand Anything else that you may have picked up while on vacation and want to add. So for my vacation shadow box I went to Hobby Lobby to [...]
Changing out the bedroom decor With the coming of winter I changed the quilts and covers on our bed. That also meant changing curtains and decor because the summer quilt is browns and reds while the winter one is tan and green. For winter I always add a little plum to bring in some color. I had to take down my red and brown store bought decor box, and started looking for something to replace them. I forget what I [...]
Earlier this month I was sharing my Fall Decor on a Budget and I said a had one more project and if it turned out I would show you. I am not sure just how well it turned out to be honest, but since I have it on display I will show you here as well. We’ve all seen the painted jars floating around on Pinterest. You are on Pinterest right? Hopefully you are following me there as well. Source [...]
Last week I showed you the wreath I made, with out having to buy a single thing. Today I wanted to share a bit more of my fall decor on a budget. You know when you walk into a house and the first thing you see is this lovely mantle, perfectly decorated? Well, that’s not my house. I don’t even have a mantle. I know, I know, pity me please!!! However, I do have a really awesome bookcase. And in [...]
Due to some changes in spending the hubby and I are making, I decided I had no need to buy things for fall decor. In fact, I am not really one to decorate much anyway. Not that I don’t enjoy it, but that I lack inspiration. However when you are a blogger, or you read blogs, there is so much inspiration out there that you “just catch it”. So now, I have all these ideas for decorating and no budget. [...]
A couple months ago I won a lovely print from KimPossible and I thought I would share how I displayed it. First off, here is the print I chose, isn’t it just bright and cheery? I wanted something like a distressed wood frame so I went to the store to see what I could find. After picking my jaw off the floor a couple times, I decided to leave the retail store and head over to Goodwill. I knew I [...]
I love candles. I love how even just a few of them can make a room look homey, and if you light them, the room even smells homey! What frustrates me though, is how expensive some of the pretty candles are. I’m not talking about high quality soy candles. I’m talking about the candles that Wal-Mart and Meijer carry. Just cheep-o ingredients and they charge a fortune. So I decided it would be fun to decorate some candles. I had [...]
A little known fact about me, is that I love old things. Really old things, not just second hand things like what most of my house is. I’m talking at least a 100 years or more. Old books also happen to be something I enjoy. Oh, who I am kidding? I just love books! Having (hopefully) made clear my love of old things. I have something rather exciting to share with you!

Hello, my name is Kendra. I am married to an amazing young man
named Jason, whom I lovingly call hubby when I’m writing. The only way I could ever explain our relationship is to use words like: crazy, silly, funny… well you get the point. He’s perfect for me! {Read More}
