Just a friendly reminder that our Under $10, Under 1 Hour Party is next Thursday, Sep 23. Can’t wait to see what you’ve got up your blog sleeves.

I am amazed at the kindness and thoughtfulness out there. I got this in the mail yesterday from Stephanie:

“ I hope you reach your goal! Glad to be a part of your wall!”

It absolutely made my (our) day. My kids thought it was the coolest thing. I don’t even want to take the ribbon or the picture off. Thank you for our first license plate for our wall, Stephanie!

I’ve started the living room.

What have I gotten myself into?

Some deals you may be interested in~it’s never too early to think about holiday shopping…

Thanks, everyone!

This is how we did it:
Our Lowes had these lattice strips in a 10 pack for 7.68.
