Flashback: Summer Wreath with Flip Flops

June 25, 2013 By Shannah Leave a Comment

This post originally appeared last year but I wanted to share it again as part of my flashback series.

This summer wreath is made out of the quintessential summer item: flip flops!

For me, that means flip flops are pretty much all you see on my feet. The only exception is if I am heading to a meeting and, then, I throw on a pair of heels for the duration. In my mind, flip flops = summer!
I wanted to change up some of the decorations on the house for summer and started with the front door. Can you guess where this going?

Flashback: Asian Slaw Salad

Yesterday, as part this flashback series, I shared one of my favorite warm weather snacks. Today, I’m going to unearth this one from the archives so I can share with you my favorite Asian slaw salad. It is made at least once a week at our house once the weather turns warm because it goes with just about anything we grill!

Flashback: Upcycle a Notebook

April 15, 2013 By Shannah 4 Comments

Let’s hear it for another flashback post! I chose this one because, as prepare for SNAP!, I know having a notebook handy is going to be super important! Why pay $$$ for the super cute ones when you can upcycle a notebook with some paint and stickers?

***********************************************

Back in February, I shared with you some of the items I had ordered and received from Pick Your Plum. They had little notebooks that weren’t pictured in that post I had picked them up from the daily flash site too.

They are so handy to keep in the car or in my purse but I wanted to dress up the plain brown cardboard front a little. Enter Martha…or at least her stencils.
