Conversation Hearts Valentine’s Day Tablescape Blog Hop!

Valentine’s Day reminds me of friends loving on friends. I decided to decorate my Valentine’s Day table with a theme of conversation hearts. But did you know that cream colored tulips signify commitment?

Check out what all of my Blogger friends decided to do with their tables on this Valentine’s Day Blog Hop.

Sweater Heart Wreath and feeling overwhelmed with stuff!

You may have seen my Sweater Heart Wreath a couple of weeks ago, as I created a video on how to make it. It was a fun project and a great use for an old sweater. Sometimes our closet get full of items that we no longer need and use.

Dollar Store Flower Arrangement!

I needed a Flower Arrangement for my table and decided to create a Dollar Store centerpiece. This project was under $10.

Conversation Hearts Valentine’s Day Tablescape!

I loved how my table came out and wanted to share it with my You Tube subscribers. Here’s a short video showing off my Conversation Hearts Valentine’s Day Tablescape. Enjoy!

What’s going on in Blog Land and with my Family of Five.

My youngest son, Troy, turned 12 years old this week. Celebrating Troy’s birthday was bittersweet. Happy Birthday Troy!

On the internet I’ve been inspired by…

I’ve been inspired by Chantilly’s daily emails. I thought you might want to subscribe to her posts here. This week she wrote about “Free,” “Beyond Barriers,” and “Conscious.”

I’ve been inspired by and love seeing what Yvonne from “StoneGable” writes on Sundays and I thought you might enjoy this one here.

I’ve been inspired by Debra from “Common Ground, Inspired by Vintage,” Weekly Inspiration and a Valentine’s Day Linky Party. Such cute vintage valentine finds here.

What’s inspiring you on the internet?

Old Ladder Bathroom Storage Idea – Pinterest Challenge

My bathroom lacked storage and there was this spot next to the shower that was just blah! I spruced it up with an old ladder and now have tons of storage. Who would have known old wood ladders could be so handy. You can check out Old Ladder Bathroom Storage Idea – Pinterest Challenge here.

Bathroom Cabinet Makeover and a Spindle Tree

Once I got into the bathroom and started organizing it I realized the Bathroom Cabinets needed a makeover too. I also found a new home for my Spindle Tree, which was a fun project I did right after Christmas. The Bathroom Cabinet Makeover and a Spindle Tree really updated my home. You can read my story about it here.

I just had to share this sweet photo of the pups cuddling up to Luke. Luke doesn’t really like to be in photos which is why I am cutting out his face. 15 year olds?!?!?! I feel like trying to understand him is like learning a foreign language. Anyhow, Troy is the lover of the pups, so to see them cuddle up to Luke was quite the shot. Enjoy!

Yesterday, I had one of those days….the kind that don’t start out so well!

You get up to go let the dogs out and on the way to the back door you step in dog pee!  You’re in the kitchen making your coffee and there’s no Almond Milk.  Then on your way to your part time job, there is a huge traffic jam and you end up being late!

And then when you think it can’t get any worse you remember it’s Friday and tomorrow is Saturday!

Now let me show you what inspired me this week on the internet.

I love focusing on a word each day. You can subscribe to Chantilly and get some word motivation in your inbox here.

I loved reading about the Interior Design Trends for 2020 that Andrea from Design Morsels wrote. I’m loving that Glam is back and Curves are in. You can read the article here.

Chloe’s Cozy Winter Tablescape is an article you don’t want to miss. You can check it out here at Celebrate and Decorate with Chloe Crabtree.

With so many of my reader’s being Mom’s with school aged kiddos, I thought this article from Rachel might be helpful. I enjoyed reading it and found it super helpful. You can check out “Common Homework Mistakes and How to Avoid Them!”

The Best of “Create With Cynthia” 2019!

This past year has been full of DIY Home Decor and Vintage Furniture Makeover projects! These are my top 10 posts based on how many times they were visited, shared, and reposted. I was a little surprised, are you? Check it out here.

One Person’s Junk is Another Person’s Treasure and a New Video on You Tube!

I love finding treasures on the side of the road! It was back in the year 2016, when I realized junk on the side of the road had endless possibilities. I was at a crossroads in my life and needed to furnish a new home for the boys and I. I’m grateful for people that are willing to give away their trash. You can read my story here.

Furniture Makeover using DIY Paint and Iron Orchid Design Decor Transfer!

I just completed a furniture makeover times two. You can watch the new video here. I also tell a story about my gratitude for people that give a way their junk.

What’s going on with my “Family of five!” or in blogland!

The boys went back to school on Tuesday and the pups and I were a little bummed. The holiday went too fast. It was so nice snuggling in front of movies, playing games, walking the pups and not stressing about getting up early.

Although school session was out, Luke still practiced with the High School Basketball team daily and even played a few games. My baby also turned 15 years old on January 4th. I’m still in shock how fast the boys are growing up. Troy will be celebrating 12 years old next month.

Organizing After Christmas!

I don’t know how you all handle Christmas being over, but I get a little shocked into sadness! It came so fast this year and most of my projects were not complete. This year I decided to keep Christmas alive a little bit longer….Nutcrackers and Christmas Trees, oh my!

When do you take down your Christmas decor? I hope these organizing solutions help you. You can read about “Organizing After Christmas!” here.

The Walnut Wreath was so easy to make. You can read why I was inspired to create one and the full tutorial here. Enjoy!
