Recipes: Scratch-made peach cobbler

Almost six years ago when my husband and I got married, I received one of the neatest gifts for my bridal shower at church. There is a lady at my church who was first introduced to me as "the best cook in the county." It wasn't an exaggeration.

A Christmas-related DIY

I love apothecary jars. I have been wanting to buy three of them for quite some time, but I can never seem to find them on sale for a good price. And that's a problem, when I want to buy three or more of them.

Budget Decorating: DIY Wall Art

I like decorating that looks costly but I don't want to pay a lot to get it. I've managed to find a few good ways to create artwork for my walls that don't cost a lot. Some of my favorite DIY art methods are creating subway art, framing scrapbook paper, creating DIY canvases, and printable art from the internet. 

I have used MS Word to create DIY subway art three times now, once for Emorie's nursery, once for Emorie's new room, and once for a Father's Day gift. This is pretty simple- just select your margins, create some text boxes, change your fonts and colors, and go!
