So, Monday evening we decided to take a spontaneous trip to St. Louis all day Wednesday because my husband’s FAVORITE BAND EVER was going to be there (birthday gift from me). Then, we used our anniversary money to make this our anniversary trip for this year! And we only had 1 day to plan!
So, we were a little CRAZY. My husband worked both Tuesday and Thursday so we had 1 day in which to drive to St. Louis, enjoy it, and drive back. Since St. Louis is an almost 5 hour [...]

WE finally got it done!!!!!!!! I’m so happy!!! So, remember when I showed you my kitchen remodel? That was back in March, right? Ever since then we’ve had our old kitchen cabinets sitting in our basement, ready to be hung.
It just seemed like a daunting task. But we finally got it done!!!
I don’t have a before picture, but believe me our.basement.was.MESSY!! Here is the space after we cleared away the clutter:
It’s great to see more new faces this week!! I just love hosting this blog hop and getting the chance to see what projects are out on the blogsphere!!

As I’ve been thinking about the coming year and gift giving, my plan is to make more presents so we can save money. I still want to give something meaningful and useful, but I would like to spend little, if no money on it. Instead, I’m going to put time, effort, and thought into my gifts.
With Mother’s Day coming up, I set about the task of searching for something perfect for my mom(s). Here are some ideas:

Welcome to Take it on Tuesday!! Here is my project: 52 Reasons I Love You Cards!
You’ve probably seen these cards around Pinterest:
I first pinned this idea in January and knew I wanted to do it for my hubby for Valentine’s Day! His love language is words and I don’t tell him enough why I love him and respect him. So, I decided to make this for him.
Only I didn’t get it done in time for Valentine’s Day. Sigh…
But, it’s done now. And. He. LOVES. It! It sits right [...]
Speaking of…I found this awesome and fun idea via Pinterest!! The Hybrid Chick posted on how she used digital scrapbook paper to give herself a manicure. It looked so fun and easy, I had to try it!!
My fancy new trick on how to mark the perfect placement for the picture frame on the wall came from Pinterest. I have many more tips and tricks I’ve learned through looking at all my friend’s pins, like:- putting marshmallows in brown sugar to keep the sugar soft- how to keep berries from growing moldy- putting newspaper in storage containers to keep it odor-free

Headboard before picture
I had thought to use what resources I had on hand, since I didn’t have much extra money to spend on projects. We had leftover stain from staining our wine shelf in the kitchen. I spent time Googling staining over stained wood and finish. Everything mentioned having to completely sanding off the finish (or soaking it in paint thinner to take off the finish), so that the new stain would soak into the wood; then re [...]
Probably my dream headboard would look something like this:
Pinterest But, in reality, what would be the best for us and cheapest? Originally, I had thought to make this headboard out of cabinet doors I bought from Habitat ReStore. But it’s WAY too complicated for me and that is why I never got around to it. So, I thought I would search the internet for other ways to put together a headboard out of cabinet doors. I found Centsational Girl’s easy tutorial on how to put fabric around [...]
