Wordful Wednesday

Another lovely little surprise arrived on my doorstep yesterday. It was just one more little simple joy that helps me to remember what I am really thankful for.

I won these from commenting in the Alice.Com BlogFrog new community launch. This is why I LOVE blogfrog well one reason! If you aren't involved with BlogFrog now would be a great time to join. It is simple and free. I know I have said that before. I have made so many great friends and won some really cool stuff just by having discussions and meeting new people.
Flowers are one of my favorite things. I love the vibrant colors, the fantastic aroma, and the smiles they bring to everyone's face. I am thankful for their simplicity and what they represent.

What things are you thankful for?

My mom discovered that if it is not mixed well the baking soda will clog the sprayer. You also can't store this apparently it doesn't last in t...

Master Bedroom Makeover Board and Batten

I highly recommend a few items although you don't HAVE to have them it just makes this project go so much faster. I bought a pancake compressor with three nail guns included saved me on this project and a miter saw. I bought both from Home Depot and they didn't pay me to say that it is just where I happen to shop. I actually had this all measured out and went to Home Depot and they cut the mdf primed boards for me. However I later purchased the miter saw and was then able to cut things right here at my house. The nail gun I used is a 16 gauge gun that can shoot nails up to 3 inches. I used a 2.5 inch nail to cover the thickness of the board and wall. Ok so I recommend deciding how you want your boards spaced first and measure and mark on the wall where you want them. I tried to do every 16 inches because that is how far apart my studs were but then I realized my wall wasn't an even length and so I have some that look a li...
