Home Sweet Home Saturday

I am having too much fun buzzing around the internet finding cool things! Here's a few projects that I think are just "the bee's knees!" 

Sweet, lovely little frame by Wendy Anderson for Making Memories.  I have a large black frame (Everyday Display by Creative Memories) hanging over my desk, and I'm going to figure out how I can make a window pane insert for it.  I'll post it when I do!

This was posted a while ago on the KI Memories blog, but I keep coming back to it thinking about how perfect it would be to adhere this memory pocket to the inside back cover of a digital album to hold bits of memorabilia or even on an inside page.  I love to scan and go full-out digital, but I also think there's something special about being able to pull "an original" out to hold and turn over in your hands.

There are many tutorials on how to make dry erase boards out of old pictures frames, but I really like the way The Scrappy Housewife uses scrapbook paper and adheres these to her fridge. 

OK, and this last one I had to throw in here, because every girl needs to add a little bling to her organized life!

Watch the step-by-step tutorial on Teresa Collins' blog!

Hope you enjoy a beautiful Sunday!

Home Sweet Home Saturday

Welcome to my new weekly feature, Home Sweet Home Saturday.  Right now my heart is really drawn to blog posts and articles that feature easy projects designed to add some flair to your home or make home and family life easier and more fun.  I may not always have time (or the right circumstances) to try out every cool idea I see but I want to keep these ideas at my fingertips for when the time is right.  Over time it will be easy for me (and you!) to click on my blog category "Home Sweet Home" to find that perfect project.

Here are some of this week's cool finds:

Jenn has a terrific post on her blog Clean & Scentsible with ideas on how to use clothespins in various projects.  This menu board was one of my favorites, and I know I'm going to tackle a project like this soon.  That and this too (below)!

When I saw this on Tattered Angels today it just made my heart sing.  Isn't it lovely?   

Thank you Jenni Bowlin for this adorable & compact way to track your cash purchases -- something small to fit in your purse or car -- I love it! 

This was a photo that Making Memories used to promote a giveaway (open thru the weekend!) and their blog banner ... but the minute I saw them I knew I'd be making these with my daughter to hang about the house.  So cute!

That's it for this week.  Check back in with me on Monday for my next weekly feature "Inspiration Monday".  What better way to kick off the week than with something to inspire you?

Ciao!
