1st DIY attempt: Hanging picture frames

Scanning through my obsession Pinterest I found what appeared to be an easy DIY project. You'll need a curtain rod, rod hangers, frames, ribbon, and I also used a hot glue gun to keep the ribbon/frames in place. I had all the items in my house already, minus the ribbon, so I spent less than $5 to make this.

It was my first attempt at a DIY project, but with much belief in myself, I conquered and achieved! A curtain rod with frames hanging from ribbon.


I don't have photographs in there because I don't know where to get prints that are 3.5x5 inches. (Anyone have ideas?)

I think I've already found my inspiration for my 2nd DIY project, a Gamecock wreath my friend and local photographer Sydney Brant made and hung on her front door! It is so pretty! soooo pumped for football season!

It's been way too long...


I'm BAAAAACK! I can't wait to catch up and blog about my new loves in life! 

Couple things have changed since my last blog. I'm a mommy. I love it. I have a new house. I love it. I have a new car. I love it. Other than some extra bills to pay, things are good!

My son Liam was a wonderful Christmas gift to my husband and me, who came on Dec. 9, 2011. He's the greatest blessing I've ever experienced. I enjoy every minute of being his mommy. Here he is each month from newborn to 7 months!









I'm working full time in addition to motherhood. It's tough to be apart from the cutest little guy on Earth, but work also keeps my sanity. I'm in the process of decorating my home and in need of advice or looks! Please send ideas my way!



Sincerely,
