A little behind... Treasury Tuesday/Wear it Wednesday

Thanks to the glorious long holiday weekend, I completely missed the fact that yesterday was Tuesday. So to make up for it I'm combining it into today's post.

One a side note: All those great projects I posted last week... Didn't do a single one. Hopefully, I'll get to it this weekend!


This treasury screams summer to me:

I'm always on the lookout for unique and interesting treasuries. This one definitely fits the bill:

Now on to the Wear it Wednesday portion of the show...

Take a look at these Target beauties! I have a strong suspicion they will be mine by the weekend. I'm in love with them. At $20 they are a steal!!

Also loving this bracelet. Great summer colors.

And this combination? Perfection.

Friday Finds

I'm looking forward to a long weekend of nothing after traveling out of town the last few weekends. My big plan is a movie marathon, some pool time, and maybe some creating/DIY time since I have found several new projects I love recently. Honestly, I doubt I will ever get to the DIY time! But here are a couple of my ideas anyway.

This project is so simple! You just wrap a coffee can (or any container) with rope. This is perfect for my bathroom since it has a beachy feel. But really it would work anywhere depending on what you wrapped it with. I have a lot of "stuff" but I hate clutter. This would definitely help with that.

I have two wooden barstools that my sister and I have traded back and forth since we lived together in college. They currently have the Seminole head FSU symbol on them and don't match my house at all. Until I saw this, it had never occurred to me to paint them to match my decor. Now I'm dying to give it a try!

I have a canvas painting hanging by my front door that I've had forever. I would love to do something colorful and cheery like this to it to brighten up my entryway.

I don't have the the materials to make this yet but I really like this idea. I was thinking instead of a full monogram, just finding a medium-sized vinyl sticker that says Believe or Hope and placing it along the top or bottom of the mirror. That way the majority of the mirror is still open.

If I can find it in myself to get off of the couch and be productive I will show you the results of one of these projects next week. If not, there is always the next weekend!

Flip-flop Wreath

My sister, the craft-goddess, is really talented. She is a mom of two super-awesome girls (I'm not the least bit prejudiced!!) and a teacher, so her creative juices are constantly flowing. Last weekend she made some wreaths out of flip-flops, silk flowers, and a large wooden letter. Of course, when I saw them I went crazy over them and knew I had to share what she had done.

Here is the one she made for her house:

Such a fun, fresh concept. Can't you just smell chicken on the grill and freshly mown grass?

Here is one she made for her friend:

I also love this one... Despite the fact that it is Gator colors. I'm pretty sure she mentioned something about it burning her fingers as she made it. We won't hold it against her friend though. This just goes to show my sister can make anything beautiful!!

Here is the last one. A slightly different take than the others:

Below is a list of supplies for making a  flip-flop wreath for yourself.

The basic materials include a wreath base, flip-flops (she got all of hers at Dollar Tree), silk flowers, rhinestones, glitter, wooden letters, and hot glue. From there it is completely up to your imagination! There are so many different ways you could arrange and decorate this wreath. So get your creative juices flowing and make one for yourself or a friend (or a SUPER-AWESOME sister!!)
