YOU CAN PERSONALIZE ANYTHING!!!

Need a cute way to personalize your kids room?

Well, I'm in the process "ok....been in the process for awhile" of changing my girls room from Baby Room to Lil Girls Room. I wanted something cute but different from the wooden letters hanging by pretty lil ribbon. Didn't want anything to paint so I thought "vinyl" lettering once again from your local sign shop "Lone Star Signs & Graphics". I had something in mind, told them what I wanted and so here it is!!!!

BEFORE

PROCESS (EASY, EASY)

NOTHING BUT CUTENESS (not sure if that's a word ha!)

If I ever get this room done I will post all the pics.

I think the most exciting part was the personalization on the wall, it just made the room!!!

Simple, sweet and it's not too grown up for my lil girls room and that's what I like!

REMEMBER ME?

Hey blogger friends. Hope you remember me. All I can say is "LIFE".

Since Christmas so much has happened and so much going on.

(many laughs, many tears, many MEMORIES and opportunities)

My dad asked me the other day "why don't you blog anymore?" Well, he didn't agree with my answer & he's right. So here I am.

This is something my mom and dad made me for my Christmas gift.

(remember long ago I said the best gifts are the ones people make for you)

This is a personalized, beautiful, and cheap gift that would be great for birthdays, anniversary, fathers day, wedding gift, ect. . Oh, did I mention cheap & cute!!!!

All you need is:

One tile any size you like (lowes, home depot around $2.50)

Platter/plate hanger (lowes $3)-if you want to hang on wall

Vinyl lettering (Lone Star Signs & Graphics $15) or your local sign shop

I wanted mine setting on my table so I just used a frame stand.

Something new with a lil kick!!!

Now the second thing is ROTHBURY SEASONED CROUTONS.
Great flavor or maybe it's just the dressing on them not sure but all together it's great!!

I have only been able to find them at Walmart.

One other thing, this dressing is awsome on baked potatos, wow!

Hello, everybody hope you all had a great THANKSGIVING!!!

I wanted to share this photo that I took over THANKSGIVING at my moms house. She always has it decorated so pretty for Thanksgiving and Christmas. All the candles (smells like fall), unique decorations from old to new, pretty much everything in my moms house has a story behind it, and I just love hearing about it all.

You just feel right at home when you walk in (cozzy I tell ya, cozzy)!!!
