Just a Girl

• Dollar Store Desperate

  In case you haven’t heard, I’ve been painting.  And painting.  Yet, I have nothing to show for it.  There’s only so much a working mom can get done between the hours of 4 and 10 at night.  I did stumble on this little doo-hi...

• Painting Furniture

  The #1 e-mail inquiry I get is from people wanting to know the specifics about how I paint furniture.  I tend to giggle at this because I certainly don’t consider myself an expert.  I’ve been lucky that (knock on wood) I haven’t had a...

• Timeless Treasures

  Timeless Treasures is one of my new sponsors, and I couldn’t be happier that she (Amber) not only helps me keep this blog going, but she’s also offering such a great giveaway for my readers! If there was ever a moment that I wish I had pierced...

• Feature Friday

  Caroline at Salsa Pie has such a fun blog, but I spotted this “flower arrangement” and knew you’d love it.  How cute is this??   Of course, it doesn’t hurt that it’s in this adorable nursery!  I found Teresa at Bloomin...

• This is Good

  Well, I’m still painting.  And painting.  And watching American Idol.  Is anyone good enough to win? I saw this, and I knew I had to share it.  It’s that good.  Prepare yourself.

• “Why thrift?”, you ask?

  Ethan Allen Special $419 Crate and Barrel $299.00 Target (!!)  $359.00 Salvation Army  $15.00  I feel like I should say something, but I’ll let the price tag speak for itself.

• Kitchen Update

  When my mom told me that I had finally convinced her to paint her kitchen cabinets, I said one thing, “Make sure you take before photos!”.  Here’s what she sent. Oh, and this one.  From two years ago.  And my daughter is wearing...

• Feature Friday

  This is by far my favorite post each week.  Not only am I excited for you to meet a new blogger (perhaps), but I love the idea of these bloggers meeting all of you!  I’ve been following Rachelle at Fingerprints on the Fridge and her ent...

• A Winner and a Loser

  First, let’s start with the loser.  (That’s me, by the way.) I have 1 million projects going on, and I have no post to show for any of it.  Please tell me I’m not the only person that this happens to.  I’ve been trying to sell...

• What’s Your Virtue?

  Truth be told, I consider myself quite a liberal personality.  That is, until it comes to young girls—not only the message they send to others, but the message we as adults send to them.  Enter “What’s Your Virtue?” When Amy, Mol...
