A special thank you to Krista @ <a href="http://www.whilehewasnapping.com/" target="_blank">While He Was Napping</a> for sharing my post on her most awesome blog!! Please stop by and give her some love!!<br />
<br />
Some of us are lucky enough to have a separate room for an office. Others carve out space in a closet or the kitchen. I, have neither! However, I was once blessed with an entire room for my office when I ran my business from my home. But if I had to do it all over again, I'd go with the "nook" option. Either in a kitchen, hallway landing, or perhaps a closet (which is nice since "out of sight, out of mind" rings true when company is coming!!)<br />
<br />
Here are just a few of my favorite "nook" offices that are way more than just a spot to get down to business...they are oh so <i>fabulous!</i><br />

<br /></div>
<div>
And here comes the instructions on how to make the easiest, best tasting chili ever!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><i>Step One</i></b></div>
<div>
Brown the ground beef. Make sure to thoroughly drain the grease. Use one or two packets of the pre-made chili seasoning (depending on how much ground beef used. For this go-round, I used 2 lbs of beef and two packets of seasoning.) Add additional seasonings to taste. It will still taste mostly like plain ground beef, but that is where the magic of the crock pot comes in! You can leave it on low on the burner to have some more grease, which will help to marry the seasonings.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAEbrs_o0z3fY49YnNQ95Y7nlZspN30lzggSU7NDi_thcDHvVfX4iNK167onySYpFIOFpSfwU7bYBW4ifLN0vXrzsOXT1jm1kLiW5RJBmOawdh0lricLsQS_cYkgvjl9_Z-WzA0Zgd_cJj/s1600/Beef+%2526+Chili+Powder.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="510" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAEbrs_o0z3fY49YnNQ95Y7nlZspN30lzggSU7NDi_thcDHvVfX4iNK167onySYpFIOFpSfwU7bYBW4ifLN0vXrzsOXT1jm1kLiW5RJBmOawdh0lricLsQS_cYkgvjl9_Z-WzA0Zgd_cJj/s640/Beef+%2526+Chili+Powder.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><i>Step Two</i></b></div>
<div>
Add your diced tomatoes to the crock pot and turn on high. You can do this while browning the meat.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><i>Step Three</i></b></div>
<div>
Chop your onions and green peppers if you choose to add them. Make sure they are chopped small enough to "melt" into the chili. Too large and you'll be chomping on bits of pepper and onion instead!<br />

<br />
<b><i>Step Four</i></b><br />
Put the peppers, onions, and beef into the tomatoes, keep the heat at high, and stir so that all blend together. Take a quick taste, and if you need more of any spice keep adding to taste! There is no method of measurement here...if you like spicy, go crazy with the chili powder! Or add crushed red pepper!<br />
<br />

<br />
And that's it! Seriously! How easy was that!! Now, all you have to do is patiently wait while your mouth waters because the smell literally permeates the entire house!!<br />
<br />
Be sure to keep stirring throughout the day, and after about 3-4 hours on high, switch to low. If you are leaving for the day, you can keep the heat on low all day. The longer you let the chili "merge" its flavors together, the better it tastes!! Once it's done, you'll salivate over the deep, rich color of the chili!<br />

Serve it up and garnish with some shredded cheese, some sour cream, and a slice of avocado (which unfortunately, I didn't have on hand this time.) I promise, you won't be disappointed!! And if you aren't on a low carb diet like me, add those beans! Ever <i>BETTER</i>!<br />

A write wipe workbook filled with practical pages to help her learn her acb's!<br />
<br />
At the time, she was having some difficulty recognizing her numbers and letters, and her handwriting looked more like scribble than anything (and this was after an entire year of preschool too!) We were soon to be heading out on a 10+ hour trip to South Carolina, so I decided to light the fire under my rear and get this together for her so she could use it while on the road. Oh my, and I <i>so very glad</i> I did!!<br />

Thank you so much to <a href="http://onehotcrafty-mama.blogspot.com/2011/03/workbook-for-2-4-yr-olds.html" target="_blank">One Hot Crafty Mama</a> for her ingenious idea!! I will be forever grateful and indebted to her awesomeness!! Please check out her site, as she has a great link to some free worksheets!<br />

<b><i>HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN WRITE WIPE PRESCHOOL (or anything) WORKBOOK:</i></b><br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
<b><i>Supply list:</i></b><br />
1. Sheet protectors<br />
2. 3 ring binder (size depending on how much you plan to "stuff it"!!)<br />
3. Workbook sheets<br />
4. Dry erase markers (preferably the ones with the erasers on the caps!!)<br />
<br />
My luck, I just happened to have purchased a huge workbook for her a month before, so I got down and dirty with pulling out all the relevant pages, and gathered together the sheet protectors and binders I've had lying around now for nearly 14 years (from my college days)...<br />
<br />

<br />
I'd wished that I had a presentation binder so that I could have made it more "pretty" like I did with my other binders. One day I'll upgrade! Maybe even make a new binder as my she progresses through the grades and hand this one down to my son! But, with working with what I had, here is the finished binder...<br />

<br />
Simple, easy and CHEAP!! Especially if you already have the binder and protectors lying around the house!! You could even throw in a pencil pouch to keep the markers handy. I love the ones with the erasers already built in...reminds them to erase when they're finished. But, kids will be kids and forget to erase so all you have to do it wet a paper towel and you're good.<br />
<br />
Again, I can't say it enough how completely useful this project is, especially if you have preschoolers! It's so adaptable that you can update the worksheet based on the age of the child, or even for your household needs! I've also made a menu planner and recipe binder!<br />
<br />
Are you going to make one for your kids? Or how about for your household? If you do, send me your pictures! I always love to see what you all have made!!<br />

Enter...knock off DIY canvas art!!<br />
<br />
Now I don't consider myself an artist by any means...I'm not even good, but I'm capable, so I searched for the right art to fit her room decor and everything I fell in love with was so expensive!! So what's the next best thing to pricey artwork? A handmade knock off!!<br />
<br />
I found five pieces that I adored, so I rolled up my sleeves, broke out the paints and got down and dirty! Sadly, only two of the five made it to completion and into her room! I managed to finish a third, while two still sit waiting for my finishing touches!!<br />
<br />
Here is the uber-pricey, professional painting <a href="http://renditionsbyreesa.com/item_248/boho-bird-RM490.htm" target="_blank">Boho Bird by Reesa</a>:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://renditionsbyreesa.com/images/large/LgCan-BohoBird-RM490.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://renditionsbyreesa.com/images/large/LgCan-BohoBird-RM490.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
And now, for my less than stellar knock off:<br />

Now here is where I will ask for your "polite" (I'll cry if it's too harsh lol) criticism! Be honest...would you hang the knock off in your home?<br />

However, since we will be moving soon, I figured this will be yet another undone project in my home!! I did manage to go out and purchase everything that I would need to make this functional little space, so as soon as I am able to get another fabulous place to live, that’ll be one of the first projects I tackle!!<br />
<br />
Also, since I tend to change my mind like I change my clothes, I’ll keep on compiling my inspiration files in case I come across something even better!! So, in the meantime, here’s my compilation of inspiration found all over the web! Be sure to check out my entire <a href="http://pinterest.com/kkolbeck/jewelry-organization/" target="_blank">Jewelry Organization</a> board on Pinterest for even more inspiring ideas!<br />

There is something very elegant about it. Fresh. Clean. Beautiful.<br />
<br />
I've managed to turn my <a href="http://uniquelyundone.blogspot.com/2013/04/my-house-tour.html" target="_blank">kitchen</a> into a blue and white haven, and my <a href="http://uniquelyundone.blogspot.com/2013/04/my-house-tour.html" target="_blank">living room</a> is "getting there" in small steps. My goal is to one day have a blue and white masterpiece!<br />
<br />
And on my journey to achieve this dream, I've managed to collect quite a number of ah-mazing inspirational photos. Today, I'd like to share with you some of my favorite blue and white accessories!!<br />

LOTS of candles!<br />
<br />
What makes a bubble bath even more luxurious, you ask? An awesome bathroom!! Here are just some of <u>my</u> favorites. Maybe one day my house will have a bath as perfect as these!<br />
<br />
While you are browsing the following pics, drift off into dreamland, picture yourself soaking in one of these delightful tubs, and let me know how your journey was!!<br />

BUT I have an <b style="font-style: italic;">URGENT </b>plea that I need your help with. Here is an explanation...<br />
<br />
<a href="https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/420852_181715405273974_1038597674_n.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="290" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/420852_181715405273974_1038597674_n.jpg" width="320" /></a>About a year ago, I started volunteering my time with a shelter in a poor, rural county in South Carolina. There is a rescue group who "won" the contract to take over and run the county shelter in Marion, SC. I first started by offering my services to "overnight" the animals who leave the shelter weekly, and go on an adventure (transport) up the East Coast to their fur ever homes or rescues. What a truly rewarding experience it was! Getting to "love" on puppies for a night (cuddle them, spoil them rotten) and them send them on their way the next morning, knowing that they are FINALLY free is a feeling to treasure! But, a bad case of fleas meant that I had to take some time off from opening my home to these beauties.<br />
<br />
Feeling guilty as can be, I decided that I would offer my services by stepping up to be a transport coordinator - the team who makes it all happen in getting those pups out of the shelter, in the drivers cars, into the overnight homes, and back on their ways to the rescues. An extremely time consuming, demanding volunteer job.<br />
<br />
Everything was going smoothly until some "bad blood" decided to make, what will prove to be their most fatal mistake, a choice to turn their backs on the animals over some personal issues. Someone decided it would be a nice "gesture" to provide the county with some falsified documents, and therefore, we've recently learned that the county has made the decision to pull their funding for this shelter, and now there is NO money. This means the inevitable will happen - hundreds of dogs and cats will face ultimate death. The funding is so low the shelter can't pay it's employees, and the threat of having to halt heartworm treatment approaches.<br />
<br />
I urge, no, <i>beg</i> you to please, look into your hearts and help this little shelter that could out. Here is the link (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/PawsToTheRescueAtMarionCountyAnimalShelter" target="_blank">Paws to the Rescue at Marion County Animal Shelter</a>) to read up on this shelter and the wonderful cause that has taken over it's operation - the rescue that I have poured my heart into for the last year of my life. Here are just a few of the precious faces that need our help...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn2/1069280_396121193833393_730134362_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="235" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn2/1069280_396121193833393_730134362_n.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
If you can't spare your extra change, then maybe you could spare your time? We are always looking for volunteers to drive transport (starting in South Carolina going through NC, VA, MD, DE, NJ, PA, NY, CT, MA, and ME), we need help in almost every facet, from grant writers, to transport coordinators, to fundraisers, to donated goods.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://sphotos-b-iad.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/18337_278286392356_5263453_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://sphotos-b-iad.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/18337_278286392356_5263453_n.jpg" width="200" /></a>We have a<a href="http://pledgie.com/campaigns/21018" target="_blank"> general pledge account</a> set up if you are gracious enough to donate funds, through Pledgie.com. Paws to the Rescue (PttR) is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization, so all contributions are tax deductible. If you are willing/able to rescue or adopt, please consider email <a href="mailto:adoptpttr@gmail.com">adoptpttr@gmail.com</a> and fill out an application. If you know of good rescues who are able to pull the animals, please, send them our way.<br />
<br />
If you want to drive for our transport, or volunteer to become a transport coordinator, please, email <a href="mailto:kkolbeck96@gmail.com">kkolbeck96@gmail.com</a>.<br />
<br />
Again, I am begging my blogging community for help! I can't thank you enough for taking the time to read this post, and I pray that we can find the help that we so desperately need to get this shelter back on it's feet so that we can continue to save the lives of thousands of helpless animals.<br />
<br />
Will you be the one to make the difference in the lives of these animals? Will you help?<br />

I had an emergency come up with one of the animal transports that I volunteer with, and let's just say that since June 27th, my days were filled with 18 hours of non-stop work, stress, and worry. BUT, now, I'm BACK!! And with my return, I wish to engage you all in a little Q&A challenge...<br />
<br />
I recently got an email from Brent Riggs of <a href="http://www.linkyblog.com/" target="_blank">Linky Blog Tips</a>, in which he challenged us to ask our readers what we would do with a sum of money that we could ONLY use for our blog niche. I could make this easy and give us all a huge limit, but I'm going to press our creativity and set the limit to a more reasonable figure. So here is your question...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5IrtPOsB3cieJ0IpvBjiy9gQ2nPQAe49uK2I_JZKtONCaAYWaTiBRJ0KwCvoAdXkUEaOsdFi9HVr9hyphenhyphenJjEntFmvoP0wd3UIuCV3J9hyzmPhxCWD3rFo-ERx27xlKIiTqy27s-_hyphenhyphenX0yju/s1600/1000DollarBill.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" height="270" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5IrtPOsB3cieJ0IpvBjiy9gQ2nPQAe49uK2I_JZKtONCaAYWaTiBRJ0KwCvoAdXkUEaOsdFi9HVr9hyphenhyphenJjEntFmvoP0wd3UIuCV3J9hyzmPhxCWD3rFo-ERx27xlKIiTqy27s-_hyphenhyphenX0yju/s640/1000DollarBill.jpg" title="thousand dollar bill" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
If you had, say, $1,000 to spend however you wished in your blog niche, what would you spend it on? And why? Make sure it's for your niche and comment away!!!!<br />

<br />
<br />
Come summertime, I love to be outdoors, especially in the evening, and even more so if there is a pool around!! Since we've moved into our home, we've done a lot of improvements to the patio (check it out <a href="http://uniquelyundone.blogspot.com/2013/04/my-house-tour.html" target="_blank">here</a>), and I really love the way it looks, but I'm still not convinced that it's "finished"! There's still so much yet to be done with the yard itself, but I'm happy with what we have!<br />
<br />

As I was reading through my daily catalogs (thanks to the awesome app <a href="http://shop.catalogspree.com/?cs_start=signup&platform=searchforce&jadid=29450834628&jk=catalog%20spree&jkId=gc:a8a8ae4cd3a1b996a013a24cdb7541d1b:t1_e_:k_catalog%20spree:pl_&jp=&js=1&jsid=32244&jt=1&gclid=CIS1huf4zLcCFUOi4Aodv1EARQ#home" target="_blank">Catalog Spree</a> - <i>great</i> for so many reasons) I saw these items and drifted off into design dreamland...how could I make my patio look like this!! Imagine the parties you could host! Throw in the pool, and all I can say is W-O-W!!<br />

I've recently switched my dog over to a wet food diet since he had 22 teeth pulled (yes, 22! I never knew just how many teeth dogs do have!!) Since then, my recycling bins have become overflowing with cans - which my son then decides he can use them for his digging excursions. Being a bit wary of him using them (heaven forbid he cuts himself on the rims) I realized that I could actually put them to great use in the form of a nice little patriotic lantern string!! Here’s my step-by-step tutorial on how to make your very own tin can lanterns!!<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>STEP ONE – Get rid of the unsightly glue; rinse, clean, and dry!</b><br />
This has to be the hardest part of the project! If you have any products for dissolving glue, I <i>highly </i>suggest using it!! I chose to soak the cans in a sink full of VERY HOT water, to melt the glue. Then, using a Brillo pad, scrub away any of the factory stamping (with expiration date, etc.) and any glue residue left. This was <i>such</i> a pain in the rear!! I think the Brillo actually made it <i>harder</i> to get the glue off, and I eventually ended up scratching it off with my fingernail. Clean them good (you don’t want the old food smell lingering at your 4th of July party) and make sure they are thoroughly dry.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Notice how </span><i style="font-size: small;">filthy</i><span style="font-size: x-small;"> the water gets from the Brillo? That was nothing compared to the </span><i style="font-size: small;">permanent </i><span style="font-size: x-small;">glue now left on my white sink! Ugh. I'm gonna have to write a post on how to get that junk off of a resin sink!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Drying nicely. Give it overnight if you can stand to wait that long!</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>STEP TWO – Drill the holes</b><br />
Of course, you can’t have a lantern without holes to let the light shine through!! I’m sure there are easier ways to accomplish this - I’m thinking awl and hammer - however, despite my husband’s vast array of tools, we didn't seem to have one handy so I resorted to my trusty ‘ol drill! (Once you get the hang of it, this was so fast and efficient that I managed to drill all 6 cans in under a half hour! I will warn you though - your forearm will be very sore the next day!!) <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDZxjjQRWfK0zEP-xNbhht-d4tIC7XfOVxpjfEIEnSR1Vzx946TqymxolrLJGREJC6itdm1lO34T-nItlvYhaF61sVQqV6cAIgwZiZI3jhl_FPtgmsgOt1vbMaOf-ss-hXJowPcu2KHC1I/s1600/Drill.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDZxjjQRWfK0zEP-xNbhht-d4tIC7XfOVxpjfEIEnSR1Vzx946TqymxolrLJGREJC6itdm1lO34T-nItlvYhaF61sVQqV6cAIgwZiZI3jhl_FPtgmsgOt1vbMaOf-ss-hXJowPcu2KHC1I/s640/Drill.jpg" width="482" /></a></div>
Making sure to steadily hold the can with one hand, decide where you want the holes placed, bring your bit to the can, apply pressure, and drill away!! <i>CAUTION</i>…the aftermath is a very, very, sharp can, so I highly recommend wearing gloves to avoid a cut. Aluminum cuts are the worst.<br />
<br />
There’s no rhyme or reason to the placement of the holes, so have at it!! I went all out crazy with holes on some, and uniformed on others. You can even created special “pictures” such as starts, flags, fireworks, or some other theme. Make sure you drill two holes at the top of the can so you can make a handle to hang them from.<br />

<br /></div>
<b>STEP THREE – Paint and seal</b><br />
I wanted to make this a no cost project (not including the fact that I already purchased what I had on hand, so that doesn't count) so I used paint that I've had for years now. I honestly think that spray paint would be a much better medium, but since I had latex paints, that’s what I used. Aluminum doesn't accept paint all that well so a few coats were in order. Here’s the first round:<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-PYQhtbYVzACy3V54-qbVEZFJiAEZxywSux4Cav-L1t1jbXv96i3nXNzCdbs2eaRbe1Tr6Ix4rikUj3s9d-hl7-CAB9IvFbG6g8zmTbc0-l21w91OYbfZ_c8Ui-8iEZLj-En-LMZMqFha/s1600/paint.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-PYQhtbYVzACy3V54-qbVEZFJiAEZxywSux4Cav-L1t1jbXv96i3nXNzCdbs2eaRbe1Tr6Ix4rikUj3s9d-hl7-CAB9IvFbG6g8zmTbc0-l21w91OYbfZ_c8Ui-8iEZLj-En-LMZMqFha/s400/paint.jpg" width="400" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I decided to sponge on the paint as it seemed to cover more efficiently plus I like the look of a more rustic texture. After two coats, I was ready to decorate. Now, I have to say I’m not the best freehand painter in the world, especially on a bumpy surface, so my designs look a bit like a child painted them. If you’re handy with a paint brush, I’m sure you’ll have a better outcome.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I had some acrylic sealer on hand as well, so I just gave the cans a once over to help protect them against the elements. I don’t plan on keeping them outdoors for an extended period, so I’m not so worried they will rust and flake. But, if they do, it may make for a really nice “vintage” look! We’ll have to see...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5EpXHgcG3oHakYlHWgqx6Ndrln8qXLgNkTNTWpcwtNb767qHofxr0SvroZE10cxhvQDA7Z8ivBMJMeZkTaV-ebIwInY1rDsktRlKZSNuOYAQmKJ2tBjY6IU3QgWhHSOFDuLKnlGs15MAj/s1600/Seal.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5EpXHgcG3oHakYlHWgqx6Ndrln8qXLgNkTNTWpcwtNb767qHofxr0SvroZE10cxhvQDA7Z8ivBMJMeZkTaV-ebIwInY1rDsktRlKZSNuOYAQmKJ2tBjY6IU3QgWhHSOFDuLKnlGs15MAj/s400/Seal.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>STEP FOUR – Make the hangers</b><br />
You’ll need some form of pliable wire to make the can hangers. As long as it’s bendable, either by hand or pliers, this is easy. Just thread the wire through the holes that you drilled at the top, twist up the ends, and viola!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXwX7f7I7WcoDLtR970heDQSmPvHAetyH-_0NuKuAz0jrc9gjqJYp-ylF-GLLrZKtlQOJdf05YflcDJlDIUFzEDs_QcKM9dPrX7w_BvOKNEHgPXin0IeELzRW_loh_vNRrmcqSDSPGQ55_/s1600/Wire.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXwX7f7I7WcoDLtR970heDQSmPvHAetyH-_0NuKuAz0jrc9gjqJYp-ylF-GLLrZKtlQOJdf05YflcDJlDIUFzEDs_QcKM9dPrX7w_BvOKNEHgPXin0IeELzRW_loh_vNRrmcqSDSPGQ55_/s640/Wire.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">My wire happened to be rusty to start, which I love since it helps lend to the "rustic" feel. Again, I <i>highly</i> suggest gloves be worn during this part, since I ended up with some finger pricks! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">All wired up and ready to hang!</span></div>
<br />
<b>STEP FIVE – String ‘em up!</b><br />
Find yourself a nice shady tree or other spot where you want to hand up your lanterns, and string ‘em together! Or, simply place them on your picnic table for some extra night time ambiance. They look so festive during the day, and magical at night!<br />

A fairly simple project that anyone can make for any season. I think I will make some bright color lanterns for the summer and maybe some wintry designs for the coming Christmas season!<br />
<br />
I hope you all decide to make your own lanterns and if you do, I'd love to see them! If you've already made some or plan to, make sure you come back and link up your lanterns in your comment!<br />
<br />

Bloglovin’ In.<br />
I’m very new to blogging…4 months new. So, I don’t have many followers via Google Friends Connect, and only a handful via Bloglovin’, so transition my readers shouldn't be too hard…right? <br />
I've heard that Google Reader is finished as of July 1st, <em>but</em> if your blog is hosted through Blogger, then you will still be able to use the Google reader. Thanks to internet fantasy land, I’m not so sure how much truth there is to that claim. So, I've made the bold decision to eliminate my Friend Connect widget completely. <br />
<br />

Uniquely Undonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17004839441765345486noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648453081846389524.post-76238078975127568302013-06-15T08:04:00.004-04:002013-08-11T18:43:20.715-04:00DIY Father's Day Canvas Art<i><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">**UPDATE** I've added a second canvas that I made for our Poppy!! Check it out after the first pic!!</span></i><br />
<br />
Okay, I know. Yesterday I posted a last minute plea for help asking which of the easy projects I should make, and I end up making nothing related! I had an already painted canvas lying around and I got an ingenious idea after browsing Pinterest all day!<br />
<br />
Surprisingly simple, and quite quick to make, here is our Father's Day gift in time for the big day! Keep reading for a simple tutorial on how to make your own (really fast too!) for Father's Day.<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<b>STEP ONE</b><br />
Paint a blank canvas that you can get at the Dollar Store, A.C. Moore, or any local craft store. Even though canvas dries pretty fast, make sure it's thoroughly dry!<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>STEP TWO</b><br />
Select a font that you favor an print out your saying large enough to look good on the canvas...you don't want it too small!! If you don't have any good fonts on your computer, you can easily download one for free from <a href="http://dafont.com/" target="_blank">DaFont</a> or <a href="http://1001freefonts.com/" target="_blank">1001 Free Fonts</a>, or <a href="http://fontspace.com/" target="_blank">Fontspace</a>.<br />
<br />
Once you've sized your saying accordingly, select just the right spot on the canvas and tape it down.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgqvpxyUv1d_qBdlcU97vNpsxznYfU_1YVvciIsVrepm_kMZwJyqrqx2JgfwCUlxJswNHNX24l_8n-1k7_nsBgMOXdCXLhS-3IJuL5w3TtGCrivwJf8JD5jjg9h2FZT46KW58U9h11fvR4/s1600/Letter+Overlay.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="492" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgqvpxyUv1d_qBdlcU97vNpsxznYfU_1YVvciIsVrepm_kMZwJyqrqx2JgfwCUlxJswNHNX24l_8n-1k7_nsBgMOXdCXLhS-3IJuL5w3TtGCrivwJf8JD5jjg9h2FZT46KW58U9h11fvR4/s640/Letter+Overlay.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
With a very firm hand, trace over the letters, and an impression will form on the canvas. Once you've finished the first trace, lift up the paper and use a pencil to trace over the impression on the canvas.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCXvFH0f0tQgB7ZdfqWgJAToBxFf-7qLnZR2W831wUC9AKce4oquKTCVYXsrtbBGCu9JNTytUEiacRy1lKiQuxBhCfjTeaPN-qPqQEQAcHa7SvDZSWuFL0CXOCdF7Tv7_y_P9WdfsAfBfq/s1600/Trace+the+letter+impression.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCXvFH0f0tQgB7ZdfqWgJAToBxFf-7qLnZR2W831wUC9AKce4oquKTCVYXsrtbBGCu9JNTytUEiacRy1lKiQuxBhCfjTeaPN-qPqQEQAcHa7SvDZSWuFL0CXOCdF7Tv7_y_P9WdfsAfBfq/s640/Trace+the+letter+impression.jpg" width="568" /></a></div>
<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b>STEP THREE</b><br />
To save even more time, and especially if you're not a steady-hand painter (like me) use a good 'ol Sharpie marker and fill in the pencil traced letters!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvleEbjB8pw_f51mO3C_aRh9VwvSqgI6dWh-zvVnV8RIeO0sMSSeaan1OWdluFd5jGDpr8YiayF0phfFgQnmBPClLeUx74PndjV3n2tImNxICizL6GkECKn08KYkzkmshUDbtL8dxW99ND/s1600/Sharpie+lettering.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvleEbjB8pw_f51mO3C_aRh9VwvSqgI6dWh-zvVnV8RIeO0sMSSeaan1OWdluFd5jGDpr8YiayF0phfFgQnmBPClLeUx74PndjV3n2tImNxICizL6GkECKn08KYkzkmshUDbtL8dxW99ND/s640/Sharpie+lettering.jpg" width="528" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>STEP FOUR</b><br />
Paint your child's hand with a very generous amount of paint, making sure to cover every inch. For my design, I chose to use two colors per kid. One color for each hand!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXDCMoIKnXO6xY124OIkiK0Zd35XOBOBGauU48ZgEa5vrma3AEQq3UsbL3YrNAK2OP1mbffNWtZJaFF0jh4df5tubGuo5L5aEwtkDOdixxGGxEInxV5NR2hLr0H-weFL6hqRzmeOhYaGYt/s1600/paint+the+hands.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXDCMoIKnXO6xY124OIkiK0Zd35XOBOBGauU48ZgEa5vrma3AEQq3UsbL3YrNAK2OP1mbffNWtZJaFF0jh4df5tubGuo5L5aEwtkDOdixxGGxEInxV5NR2hLr0H-weFL6hqRzmeOhYaGYt/s640/paint+the+hands.jpg" width="473" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<b>STEP FIVE</b><br />
Carefully place the child's hand on the canvas, and press down all over to transfer the paint! Don't press too hard or you'll end up with smudged prints! I chose a "flower" of sorts!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />

We usually enjoy our stay at Wildwood Crest’s Diamond Beach. Let me just say that for those who <em>loathe</em> sand like I do, there is NO other beach like it!! For whatever reason, the sand is so fine (diamond-like I guess, hence the name!) it doesn't stick like most sand! You can come out of the ocean without all the mess!! Yes!<br />
<br />
Sadly, this year, we aren't making our annual trip to Diamond Beach. However, we will make it to one of the Jersey Shores!! So, in lieu of my missing our excursion, I decided to find everything “beach-y” I could and inspire all of us to get <em>something </em>beachy into our homes this summer!!<br />

I’d love nothing more than to one day own a beach house where I could decorate in a nautical theme! Upon perusing my latest catalogs, I managed to save my favorites for my inspiration files!<br />
<br />

<em><span style="font-size: x-small;">Clockwise from top left: Compass, Crab wall art, Classic Yacht, Shipped pillow: <a href="http://www.onekingslane.com/">One Kings Lane</a></span></em></div>
<br />
<br />
I love the color combo of blue and white, and these finds not only go great with blue and white, but any neutral tones…not to mention, they add a nice pop of color to any color scheme!<br />
<br />
<br />

<em><span style="font-size: x-small;">Outdoor pillows: <a href="http://www.onekingslane.com/">One Kings Lane</a></span></em></div>
<br />
<br />
Perk up your outdoor patio with these vivid pillows! Heck, I’d even be tempted to bring them indoors too! Perhaps a bright and airy sunroom? Or a nice white living room? Which would you choose?<br />
<br />
Stay tuned for a nautical follow-up! I’m on a sea-worthy roll!! Until next time!<br />
