Here it is...the finished version of my old felt/cork board.I chose some fabric I got on the clearance rack for $2.00 a yard at a fabric store in Provo. I paired that with a remnant roll of canvass I got at Wal-Mart for $2.17. Then I used a ruffle I left off of an apron I made last week. And finally I glued on some flowers from left over fabric pieces and a doilie I had leftover from the place mats I made.I love the results. I am dying to hang it on my yellow wall and add the quotes, ideas, etc. ... View the Post
$5 Friday…An Old Felt/Cork Board Make-over—In Progress
This is what I'm working on today...It's an old board. Felt on one side, crumbling white cork on the other. My 5 year old was using it to hang preschool work on but lost interest in it and I took it down. Today I'm turning it into an idea/inspiration board for my room. The board cost nothing (I've had it since I was a little girl) and I'm going to use some upholstery fabric I got from a $4.99 clearance grab bag at Home Fabrics or some "off the fold" clearance fabric I got at Ben Franklin's. I ... View the Post

In a large skillet/frying pan/wok cook sliced pork tenderloin until it is no longer pink. (However, I never use pork tenderloin. We always use the left over half of a pork roast we had ...

$5 Friday…Spring Mantel Make Over
Recently I picked up a bunch of these white vases. I bought them at a local thrift store and they cost anywhere from $0.25-$1.50 each. I love them, a lot, and I've been wondering what to do with them. Then this afternoon I knew what to do.It's the middle of May and the weather should be beautiful but so far it has been either cloudy, rainy, or snowy, like everyday. I'm going crazy. I need spring. Actually I need summer. And as I was putting away some items from a recent bridal shower and ... View the Post
