REMIX OUTFIT

 Flower Belt From Style~6.99 
Fit Bit Hand Me Down From Hubby
Gotta Flurt Shoe Gift From Hubby for my Birthday~ 13.00 from DSW


Hello Everyone. I love this outfit so much. I pinned it twice on my fashion idea board on pinterest. I did change a few thing up from the inspiration picture. Instead of tie the shirt at the bottom. I tuck it in. I did try tie the shirt but it didn't work out for me. In stead of heel I went with my converse knock off. Which work better for me. To do my grocery shopping in.
I can so see myself wearing this outfit again. It is so easy to throw on and comfortable to wear.  I have 5 more outfit left in my 30x30. Which I only know what I'm going to wear for 1 of them. So far I have worn everything twice beside my hot pink skirt. 
 
Flower were a Euro a piece. (1.37 Dollars a piece)
So yesterday when I was at Ikea I pick up these flower for my office. Which now my little corner is complete. The bottle the flower are in. Is a bath and body work bath salt bottle. I just removed the label and washed the bottle out. Also the picture frame on the dresses is the tray I made out of a broken picture frame. I find at the recycling center. You can see it better in this post. The tray used to live in the bathroom but once we got the new cabinet we lost cabinet space in the bathroom. So I had to rearrange some things around. I'm really happy how this side of the office turn out. I still have an okay amount to do in here. 


 

HAVE A GREAT THURSDAY.

PINNED IT AND DID IT: ORGANIZATION

For the container holding the Q-tips I left the lid on it. For the other ones I cut the lids off.
Hello Everyone. I'm back with another linking up with H&K Style Journey Pin it and Did It. This weeks Pins are super easy to do. Also they are great with organizing.  First we have a swiffer container box that the wet wipes come in. Hubby was complaining to me that he want his toe sock and his regular sock separated. Once I was done with the wet swiffer I didn't want to throw the container out. So I let it air dry and clean it out. Then I put it in hubby sock drawer. Which I was happy the swiffer container was a prefect first. Then I just throw his toe sock in the swiffer container. Now he doesn't have to go digging for his toe sock. I know you all are problay wondering why my hubby wear toe sock. Well It is because he wears Vibram Five Finger shoe everyday and they help with not making the shoe smell. 

For my second project is reusing Charmin wipe container. Before our stuff arrived from the states we were buying charmin wipes. So we ended up having a good amount of the container. Seen the container where so pretty decorated I end want to get rid of them. So I decide I needed to find a use for them because I also didn't want them sitting around. So as I was putting stuff away in the bathroom it hit me. Why not put q-tips in one.  So thats what I did. Now I don't have the huge ugly q-tip box sitting in the medicine cabinet. Then I took another and put all my nail tools and small stuff in it. Then for the last one I use it to hold my hair brush. I took the label maker and label them that way we know what is in them. 

Now that we have all are stuff from the states I just re-fill the charmin wipe boxs up with cottenale wipes. That we already had. 


HAVE A GREAT THURSDAY EVERYONE

DIY: Coin Frame



Hello Everyone. Today I'm doing another linking up with H&K Style Journey Pin it and Did It. I have had this empty frame for a couple years now. So when I came across it again. I knew I want to do something with it. As I was going thru stuff in the computer room. I came across this flower card. Which I fall in love with it. Its a card I sent to my hubby when he was deployed

One day I was on Pinterest I saw the Military coins display. I thought I so can make one of though. Which one day I will. Once I find all of hubby coins but for now I just my pressed penny from Disney World. I just used double sided tape to hold the coins to the card. After I was done taping them the card in the frame it went.

This coin display is displayed in my kitchen on my bakers rack.





I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT THURSDAY.

DIY: Nail Polish Display




Source
Mine
Hello Everyone. Today I'm linking up with H&K Style Journey Pin it and Did It.  Seen I have become a housewife. I have a good amount of free time on my hands. That when I'm not working on getting my house done or running errands.  So I have been going on Pinterest a lot. I came across this picture that a person turn a picture frame in to a display tray.  After seeing it. I knew I wanted to make one for my nail polish. Since I didn't have any extra picture frame. I knew I had to go buy one. Before I went out and brought one. I decide to go to the reuse center. It is a center we have here. Where people take there unwanted stuff and drop it off. So other people can get use out of it. Everything there is free. I went over there one day. Just to look around. To my luck I came across this heart picture frame.  Only problem it had a broken standing. Which is probably why it landed in the reuse center.  I didn't care that the back way broken. 

I came home that day and finish taking the broken piece off with a pair of pliers.  Once that was off. I went to my old greeting card and find one that I sent to my hubby.  When he was deployed back in 2006 and put that in the frame. After the frame was put together. I put the frame in my bathroom and put my nail polish on it. Now I have a pretty display frame and It didn't cost me a thing. 

The reuse center has become my favorite place to go. I go a couple time a week just to see what I can find. The other day I brought home a filing cabinet. Which I need another one. I'm hoping I can find another cute frame. That way I can make a cork board for my desk. 

I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT FRIDAY.

What to do with Old Christmas Cards~Craft Idea

Back of Card give to me over the years

Add stamps to them
The finish Look

 Hello All. Today I bring you a little Christmas Craft Idea. I know we all must have cards laying around from over the years and have no Idea what to do with them. I know some or most of us throw them away after we are done looking at them. Me on the other hand I save them to make things out of them. 

This is what you are going to need
  1. Old Cards~ Just the front of them with the picture
  2. Hole Punch~ To punch hole in them for the Ribbons
  3. Ribbons~ For hanging them up on your Tree or other places
  4. Markers~To color and write on them
  5. Stamps or Stickers~ To add color to the back side. If using Stamps your going to need ink too.
  6. Scissors~ To cut them out 
  7.  
The best part is this doesn't cost much to do.  You can get a huge thing of ribbon at the dollar store. Same thing with the stamps, markers and hole punch. I got my hole punch at Target for .99cents.

So the first thing I did was go thru my card and picked the one I wanted to use. Then I torn them apart. The part with the writing I save and put them in a scrapbook. Then later on I have them to look at anytime I want to. The very Pretty card I will not pull them apart I save them  how they are. Once your are done picking the cards you want to use, Then you add you stamps or stickers. I used  my Christmas stamp that I find branded new at a thrift store. They are Stamp it up Stamp. Which are super nice ones. After I stamp the picture on them. I color them in. This can take some time. Then I wrote Merry Christmas on them along with Made by Amy and 2010. The next thing you need to do is cut them out. I used crazy Scissors. You can use plan Jain scissor to it what you like using. The next thing to do is punch a hole in them and add the ribbon in them.

I made these for my family and close friends and mailed them out with there Christmas card. I'm not prefect and miss putting them in a few cards. So they will be added with there Christmas gifts.

Also in the years past I have made Gift tags out of old cards. This is a cute and fun away to use old cards.

So far everyone who has gotten them loves them. 

Just so everyone know I love Christmas time its my favorite time of year. My family and friends tell me when they get there Christmas cards they know it Christmas time due to I'm the first Card the receive.
Today there no Cute outfit becuase I have to get the house ready to get my dining room table. I been with out a dining room table for 3 years and I'm so happy to fanily have one. Plus we have been waiting since August 1st for our table. If you are wondering where we eat at that would be our couch and chairs in the livingroom.

I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT MONDAY.

I also hope you liked the crafted idea and sorry the picture are the wrong way. I try to fix them with photobucket but then the picture would have been to big.

I so Want this Ornament. If this is the only one I get this year I will be SUPER happy. Amazon and Target has it.
