Moment of Truth!

The Pinterest Challenge is here.  OMG! What amazingly talented people.
First of all, thanks to Sherry @ Young House Love and Katie @ Bower Power for challenging each of us to step out and actually make one of our inspirations we have pinned on Pinterest. Take a look at what inspired these women and what they created and also, check out their co-host friends, Lana @ Making a House a Home and Emily Henderson .
While admiring all of the links I stumbled upon Amy @Keep'n The Sunny Side and her delightful pillow she made.  Since I'm obviously in pillow mode it caught my eye.  Just so happens, I have pinned this pillow to my Emma Claire board in hopes to make one for her. Cant's wait to get started.
  Isn't it awesome!
I love the red and turquoise don't you?
I also ran across Jaclyn @ Covered in Flour . She made this button monogram. This is a neat idea and she did an awesome job!
  Last year I made other things out of buttons for gifts.  One for a friend (using her late mother's buttons) and one for my Louisiana sis, Jennifer.
Elmer's glue crackling!!














 But Jaclyn has inspired me to try the monogram.

Have a Blessed Day!

  3. Thanks for the mention and the link, Victoria! You have a great blog and I can't wait to show myself around a bit. =D Your blog is so creative and I love your fleur-de-lis. I have a little obsession with French things in general and fleur-de-lis in particular, so that's right up my alley!

    xo,
