This punch was AMAZING … so good. Very refreshing, very crisp … perfect for a baby shower! I found the recipe on Pinterest, but here it is for y’all as well:
1 cup Countrytime Lemonade mix {or the likes}
2 cups cold water
1 can of chilled pineapple juice {46 oz}
2 cans chilled Sprite {or the likes}
Mix together and add lemon slices to make pretty … FIN.

Here's the method: All you need is a sharpie (any color) and a porcelain dish that you want to permanently alter. You can even use super cheap mugs from the dollar store to create gifts or party favors. Just draw on the surface of your mug and bake it for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Allow them to cool completely before washing or using.

Photo Centerpiece How-To...
Disassemble three like-sized frames, setting aside their fronts and discarding their backings. Paint or stain wooden frames desired color; let dry. Upload or scan photographs into a computer. With editing software, make the images black and white, and resize them to fit your frames. Print them onto vellum paper with an ink-jet printer. Slip the images into the frames. Using cloth tape, hinge frames together to form a triangle. Stand frames around a candle in a protective glass holder.

Fun Friday!

It's our fourth Fun Friday today and it's time for a little inspiration! Check out some ideas that will make an impact on your house and not your wallet. "Reduce, reuse," my friends.


Wait before you throw those light bulbs out. For a romantic green house feel, try using them for hanging plants or vases.


On your next Saturday morning thrift trip, snatch yourself an old window for a great conversation piece as well as a handsome way to display photos or artwork. You can hang it on the wall or go a step further and make it a table surface. Get creative!


Wood needs a little help? Before shelling out for an expensive product, try shelling a walnut instead.



Wooden cable spool + wheels = brilliance.



Scrap wood? More like chic headboard. A touch of ingenuity (and paint) goes a long way.


Any other cheap n' chic ideas? Submit them in the reply box below! Happy, happy Friday!
