I Heart BUTTONS...

I love Buttons -- one of my favorite possessions is my giant Jar of buttons -- there is always something I can do with the button Jar... and you know My kiddos love it too - My daughter will sit forever & just look through the the jar - sort the buttons - count the buttons... I have often used them to help the kids with their math homework, not to mention the innumerable amounts of crafty thing that buttons can be used for... so many fun things to do with 'em -- Besides that they just look so pretty sitting on the shelf in their Jar...

Found this fun tutorial today over @

the Little Miss Momma Blog...

Lack o' Storage space....

So now that I am finally unpacking my crafty office stuff after moving & setting up House - I am finding myself having to be very creative storage wise -- I sure miss the cute little office I had in our old house, but at least I still have all the fun things that went into that cute little office for me to play with, Right?

Now if I could just get set up

and let my creative juices loose

for the first time in a long while -

Can't wait!

Found this great Idea while perusing around the

Internet world of crafty and creative peoples'

Isn't is great - may have to have one

of theses once I get all our darn boxes out of my way :)

all the beautiful things in the pottery barn catalogs -

Williams Sonoma -- Land of Nod --

Crate and Barrel - and lots of other goods --

Look how simple this

perfect piece of furniture is --

I bet I could build that!

Well this blog I just spent

about the past hour puttin' around on is amazing --

She said the same thing-- & then actually did it!! haha

The great thing about the blog -

is that she shares the plans -

for the things she has made!!

we are talking

$50 Home made Dining Room Tables -

$100 Beds, Amazing stuff!!!

Think of the money that can be saved --

& the time save because you don't have to sit and

Figure out what to buy & write out plans!

She has done most of the hard work for us!

I am In LOVE!!! Thank you Ana White -- You are amazing!
