I saw a beautiful wreath off of ourbestbites.. So cute huh? I decided I needed it!




Now look at my adorable wreath! I love how the rolled burlap flowers turned out. It was super easy and I look how chic it is! I am probably going to make a couple more as Christmas gifts for friends.

for the little man

Don't these just look so yummy. Well sorry but you can't eat them. They are crayons! My supplies were just a 64 count of crayons and a small candy mold. I melted the crayons and poured them into the mold. It was that easy. I am putting this is Skyler's stocking. I want to find a car candy mold and do a crayon box full of them for him! Crafty. Easy. Cute. and Cheap.

simple elagance

Last week I went over to my friend Carmen's house for a girls night...a much needed girls night! I saw a tutorial for this adorable Tree and KNEW I had to make them! What better time to make them than a girls night? We had Pamela (Carmen's sister) and their mom join us too! Let me just tell you these trees turned out so dang cute. I just can't stop looking at mine. They do take awhile to make, though. It ended up being a "two night girls night". Overall, I think they were really fun and simple. Go over to Shanty2Chic to see how to make them too! We also decided we are going to be trying to do a girls night every six weeks. Email me if you want to come play with us!

I think I am starting to get in the mood for Christmas. I love this burlap tree. It is going to be my crafty project for this week.

double that

Clint and I have got into coupon cutting. In Charlotte a lot of the grocery stores do double coupons. Which makes it worth it to us to buy the paper. We have saved a lot of money so for. Wednesday was the best yet.I went to the grocery store with my coupon book and got everything below...

How much do you think I payed for this? Just take a guess?





Yes, that's right people! payed $4.80 on what should have cost me $25. Total savings $21.
