how about something for nothing?

February 20, 2012

Are you like me? What’s the catch? I received this email today from Christian author, Tricia Goyer.  It went like this: I’m writing from beautiful Little Rock where it doesn’t feel like winter at all. I’m thrilled to let you know that my newest release Chasing Mona Lisa (co-written with Mike Yorkey) will be FREE [...]

two words I will never say

February 17, 2012

You will never here me say these words; “I’m bored” I don’t believe in boredom, there is always something to do, read, play, pray, create, clean, hoe, mow, clip, trim,plant, wash, cook, bake, design, paint, bead, draw, dream up, sew, stitch, write out, whip up, organize, twiddle your thumbs or just day dream. Boredom is [...]

my quirky side

February 16, 2012

Last night my 16 year old informed me that he needed map colors; “do we have any?” he asked. Now where did I put those? I replied. Because you know I use those everyday. After some digging, I found a large bag full of wonderful goodness Crayons, markers, pens, pencils, glitter glue, a deck of [...]

the day after

February 15, 2012

I’m a few pounds heavier than I was yesterday morning and the reason why? yes…I got a box of chocolates.  Don’t be too jealous, I have a tummy ache to go with those few extra pounds, due to my lack of will power. You would think I’d learn how to use moderation.  But when it [...]

The Way of Love

February 14, 2012

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. [...]

add character with “built ins”

February 12, 2012

Want to know a little secret about me? I’m a bit quirky, a romantic and I’m sentimental. I adore and dream of living in a little cottage, filled with character and charm. You know what I’m talking about don’t you? Hard wood floors throughout, little nooks, a few of the period fixtures in working condition [...]

add charm with “cozy nooks”

February 7, 2012

I adore older homes. They have nooks, crannies, charm, character and…built ins! We bought our home new in 1986.  It now qualifies as an older home, but it didn’t come with nooks or crannies.  We made those.  It didn’t come with much character, but it has plenty now. Charm?  It’s getting there. I guess you [...]

first impressions

January 31, 2012

After the curb appeal. After the front porch. After the front door comes the entry area. The area where you welcome your guests into your home. This has always been a favorite of mine in home decor. I like to look at photos of pretty entry ways. Some are defined as entry halls, some are [...]

a wall of crosses

January 30, 2012

What a  fun day we had.  Mr. Rust and I were up and ready to go Saturday morning.  The one thing we wanted to get done over the weekend, was get my cross collection up off the floor.  When we began the den redo back in November, we removed everything from four rooms.  I had [...]

weekend goals

January 29, 2012

This is how I stage a wall collage, it’s the only safe place in my home. Yes, I suppose most people would use the floor, but then I would have eight paws and two wet noses in my way and crawling around in the floor, moving things here and there, just isn’t as fun as [...]

wall words

January 22, 2012

One year ago I received a gift. Today I finally got up the nerve to use it. Well…okay, not nerve. I finally picked out a place to use it. Vinyl lettering for walls; a test in patience. I passed the test and the wall turned out nice. We have this small alcove in our den [...]
