Have you ever had a birdhouse? Did a bird ever use it? I've had a birdhouse on my porch for years, but I have never seen a bird use it. I don't know if it's because the hole in the front is too small. Or maybe it's too dark inside. I bought the birdhouse because I thought it was pretty. I didn't really expect a bird to move into it, but it sure would have been something to create a home that they would actually use. In the meantime, I'm … [Read more...] about Do You Have A Birdhouse?
Last Day
Before I share today's project, a reminder that today is the last day to take advantage of the May sign up special. With the purchase of the Stater Kit you get a selection of In Color products for free. A week or so ago I shared a project using the Country Birdhouse bundle on a wood plaque.

May Paper Pumpkin-The Best There Is
May's Paper Pumpkin kit has these great cards that look like distressed wood. I love the patterned envelopes that match the cards. We tend to have a lot of floral cards or cards that are more feminine in style. I love all the gorgeous flowers, but it a nice change when we have a kit that is not floral. May's kit is a perfect one for more masculine themes with Father's Day coming up next month. In fact, one of the stamps in this kit says "Happy … [Read more...] about May Paper Pumpkin-The Best There Is

May Sampler-Derby Days
Did you know the annual Kentucky Derby takes place in May every year? I'm not really a horse race person, but I can't help but admire the pageantry of it all. The majestic horses, the incredible fashions, and over-the-top hats that people wear at the Derby. It's all so beautiful. Several people have asked what I do with the samplers. I use them as home decor pieces in my home. I change it out every month seasonally. Several customers have … [Read more...] about May Sampler-Derby Days
