I am still here........life is just hectic. Summer is going way to fast for me. I wanted to share two little projects...the first was a frame I didn't like. I covered it with damask scrapbook paper and added some black ribbon to it. The second was a china plate that I spray painted ivory and used a bird stamp and some ink and stamped the image on it. I have been trying to allow myself some time to craft and decorate.....it is such a part of me that if I don't allow myself some creativity I get down right depressed. Like many of us in this moment of high cost groceries and gas I havn't allowed myself to do much thrifting or shopping. I am trying to use what I already have or tweek something I don't care for. The ribbon you see used in the pics was my big splurge today...all a whopping 1.00. I think the black/ivory ticking is such a classic....and adds some whimsy. I hope this Summer finds everyone well and I hope to start posting more! xoxo, cherry

I love your blog banner picture! How fun! The nest in the urn is fun also. I'm getting ready to decorate our bedroom in a bird/nest theme. I like your ideas. Glad you are finding some time to decorate/create. I'm like you - just need it sometimes!
It all looks wonderful! You are very creative!
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog. Looks like you've been missing too...smile! Love the bird plate!!! I painted some plates last night but was undecided on what to do. This is perfect. Your ideas are wonderful. I'll definately keep checking back for inspiration :)

Ohhh goodie! I can already tell by these first few posts, I'm gonna love your blog! YEA! It's always fun to find inspiration. Thanks for coming by to visit me! Maybe someday you can visit Mackinac Island...pictures don't do it justice. It's such a neat place! We have stayed in B & B's there, and it's just a different paced life...we love it! Have a great day!
I love this ribbon and saw it on someone else's blog and have been looking every since. Where did you find it? Loved all those pictures! Especially the urn with the eggs in it. :)
