• My week thus far...
  on Feb 23, 2012 in hershey doggies
  This has been (another) non productive week so far. Our MinPin, Roxy, went into heat. We went through this once before and swore to get her fixed before it happened again. Well, we didn't make it. To be honest, it slipped our minds. Not to mention th...
• Newsprint Fingernails
  on Feb 13, 2012
  Since the first day I joined Pinterest, I've had the newsprint nails pinned. Today, I decided to do it. This first attempt is by no means perfect. A few nails smeared. A few the print very faint. I even messed up my nail polish on 2 nails, but after...
• 48 Questions
  on Feb 10, 2012 in about a - z me life holly
  So I have officially decided that I'm just not cut out for this blogging thing. I love it, I do. But I get so caught up in other things that I just don't think about it. I'm hoping one day I'll improve. I do have some things I've been wanti...
• New Layout!
  on Jan 14, 2012 in update
  Just a quick little post to tell you I have a new layout! Just starting the year off with something fresh is inspiring. It's nothing elaborate. I'm not well educated on blogger's html stuff. But it makes me happy, so I just wanted to share. And if yo...
• Wreck this Journal
  on Jan 12, 2012 in wreck this journal
  For Christmas, I received the Wreck this Box journal set. It comes with Wreck this Journal, Mess and This is Not a Book. I am so excited about working on these! I thought it would be a fun idea to blog about my progress. So far I have only done one o...
• Painted Ceiling Fan
  on Jan 11, 2012 in living room craft
  Our living room makeover has officially started! We have big plans for this room. We have already picked out our paint color, but haven't yet bought it. We are planning to add a wall to separate the living room and kitchen. Once that is up,...
• Here's to New Beginning's!
  on Jan 3, 2012 in life update holiday
  December was, well .. not such a great month for me. I neglected to blog about anything because there really wasn't much to blog about. This post could be long if I let it, so instead I will split it into "groups". Short, sweet and to the point.Depre...
• TUTORIAL: Paper Flowers
  on Dec 7, 2011 in tutorial paper flowers craft diy
  I originally found the tutorial to make these flowers at 52 Mantels. She has an excellent tutorial as well. Probably better than mine because well, this is my first ever! I also apologize in advance for the picture quality. As of right now...
• Aqua End Table
  on Dec 7, 2011 in paint furniture re-fabbed
  Somehow I managed to not take a "before" picture. But it was just a dark wood color. The thing I love about this table is that I didn't have to sand it! A friend of my dad's gave it to me and he'd already sanded 3/4 of it. I tried my luck and didn't...
• Thanksgiving Photos ... A LOT of them!
  on Dec 5, 2011 in thanksgiving decorations family
  I know that everyone has been posting Christmas pictures because well, it's that time of year! I have some of those ready to go too, but first I wanted to post some of my Thanksgiving pictures. I finally got my camera and cord back from my dad this m...
• Paper Flowers
  on Dec 3, 2011 in flower paper diy preview
  I made these amazing paper flowers to hang up at Thanksgiving. I found a wonderful tutorial for them and I will link her blog in the next post. I also want to make my own tutorial for these. I made about 20 of them for a garland with my mom the day b...
• RECIPE: Ding Dong Cake
  on Nov 30, 2011 in cake ding dong cake recipe dessert
  It's sort of become a "tradition" to have Ding Dong cake at family functions the last year or so. A girl I used to work with made them a lot and would bring them to work for all of us. It's the most delicious cake I have ever eaten, and I usually hat...
• Thankful: 6 Things
  on Nov 22, 2011 in thankful life holly
  It seems appropriate to write up a post about the things that I'm grateful for. Considering it is Thanksgiving and all. Of course I could never put down every single thing that matters to me, but these are definitely the top few.1. My husba...
• Upcoming Projects!
  on Nov 10, 2011 in furniture doggies
  I mentioned in a previous post that I had purchased 3 new furniture pieces to refinish. As of this moment, I have not started any of them. (Shame!) But I'm planning to get started on the desk tomorrow. They are all pretty dirty in these pictures. We...
• FAIL: fantabulous friday!
  on Nov 7, 2011 in life update fantabulous friday
  So, yeah. I forgot to update on Friday. Well, I didn't forget. Mostly I just didn't put forth the effort. Anywho, this is just a quick little (pictureless!) post to say that it's coming.I am actually quite proud of myself for this past week. I finish...
• Cedar Chest Project
  on Nov 7, 2011 in paint furniture re-fabbed
  I've had this chest sitting in my craft room for months. I couldn't decide how I wanted to re do it. The top was cracked half way down the middle, so I knew I would have to paint it instead of just restaining. Because of this, I used it as a stand to...
• I lost 12 inches! of hair..
  on Nov 1, 2011 in personal life paint holly picture
  About a week ago I got my hair cut. Normally, not a big deal. Except this time I got 12 inches chopped off! Kind of a big deal. (yes, I donated it!) For the past, uh forever, I've had really bad headaches. My mom insisted if I cut my hair it would he...
• Sunday Confessions
  on Oct 30, 2011 in personal life holly update motivation
  Once again, (like so many times before) I apologize for my lack of posting. I apparently suck at life. But before anyone tries to make me think otherwise, let me explain myself. (NOTE: I started writing this out on paper and it got kinda long and my...
• Duncan Phyfe Buffet
  on Oct 10, 2011 in paint furniture re-fabbed
  This project has caused many a fit over the last few weeks! I sanded, I primed, I painted. Then I ran out of paint. I had to wait over a week before we could afford to buy some more. Then we nicked it all up moving into the house because this thing i...
