Where do I store my wreaths?

I get this question frequently and I have turned my closets in my Craft Room into my wreath closet!


I hang them on a hanger and if I have a dry cleaners bag around, I like to cover it! If the wreath will fit in a tub with the other seasonal decorations, I will put it in there and put it out in MY shed!


Everything is stored in plastic tubs and labeled. Then, stacked by holiday/season. Since moving, I am very blessed with space! I didn't have much space in my old house! (well...the attic was full with Christmas)

How to store those purses.....

Aren't purses hard to store? Although, I do not have the same craziness that I had for purses in Jr. High, they still are hard to store.  Since our move, I have a little more storage space (thank you) and since I do laundry daily, I didn't need a laundry basket in the bottom of my closet. So...... I got a purse closet!!! Woo Woo!
My husband put in a dowel rod in a closet rod circle holder thing(?). I painted the rod and holder to match my closet and then I got clear (cheap) shower rings and put a purse on each one!

Here is how it turned out!

The large one was my trial run (so I will just have to keep that for myself for the time being). The smaller one is for my friend, Jennie who is in charge of setting up an auction in October for the Down Syndrome Assoc.

It's hard to tell in pictures (other than one less sunflower), but this is the smaller one!


Can't wait to pull this out again sometime middle to end of September for the Fall!

Emma's Sign for her 1st Birthday!

I saw a version of this on Pinterest and wanted to change it up for my precious niece's 1st Birthday! Mark cut the board, then I painted, stressed, cut vinyl letters from my Silhouette Cameo. Mark attached the knobs that I got from Hobbly Lobby. I painted the frames from Hobby Lobby and stressed them to match. I slid the ribbon through the back of the frames so they can be changed out or removed. I left the stand on the back of the frames in case she wanted to stand the frames up later on and maybe use the sign as a coat/hat rack...

Growth Chart

When we lived in our old house, I kept track of the boy's height on the wall on the inside of my closet. Well, when we sold the house, I couldn't take the sheetrock with us, so I created a wat to "move" their growth with us! I like how it turned out and now it hangs in our new Laundry Room.

One of my first projects!

I wanted to do something with the roses from a flower arrangement that Mark gave me for my 40th birthday. I came up with the idea of a frame painted and stressed at an angle and used fishing line to attach the flowers! Simple, but pretty!
