Happy end of summer seashell wreath. To begin we have to go back to last spring when I made a burlap wreath with fresh flowers. Then it got boiling hot so I switched the flowers for faux succulents. Slowly but surely the blistering Arizona sun has transformed the lovely burlap into a rather orange mesh mess that wasn’t very pretty. I needed to take it down but wasn’t quite ready for a fall wreath. Going back even further, four years ago, in our old house, I had made a shower ... View the Post
A Delicious Shrimp Louie Salad for Fit Friday
I don’t know about you but here in Phoenix the last thing I want to do is turn on a hot oven during dinnertime. We’ve been enjoying several delicious salads and Shrimp Louie is one of our favorites. You begin by layering a large platter with washed and dried crisp lettuce. I like the butter variety for this salad. In the center place a generous mound of delicious cooked shrimp. Next add in tomatoes, cucumbers, avocado's, lemon slices (to squeeze over salad), olives, and hard boiled egg ... View the Post
The 80’s Wants Their Bathroom Back is Finished!
Sweet Boy is officially back in school! With summer vacation over let the DIY delights commence! Did anyone even remember that I was working on the Fashionista’s bathroom?

My Best DIY Projects of the Summer
I want to start off by saying that in terms of accomplishing any home DIY projects this summer I was a complete and utter failure.

The baseboard trim and doors did not get painted because I was too busy reminding my kids to pick up their shoes. The guest bathroom vanity didn’t get a fabulous “AFTER” shot because the “BEFORE” remains along with several bits of ... View the Post

De Witt Museum and the Summer Gardens & Attire at Colonial Williamsburg
Coming near the end of our trip there was one place I had been looking forward to visiting, the DeWitt Museum at Colonial Williamsburg. When I was last at Colonial Williamsburg I was so busy photographing the holiday wreaths, interiors, and fashions that I ran out of time. I was determined to go there and had heard it was a museum that children would enjoy. De Witt Museum and the Summer Gardens & Attire at Colonial Williamsburg De Witt Museum and the Summer Gardens & Attire at ... View the Post
