Acrylic Painting Step by Step written by Wendy Jelbert, Carole Massey, and David Hyde is a book that inspires us to paint landscapes and flowers. The book gives lots of explantations about materials, techniques, compositions that we can use. This informative book will help those who enjoy painting and those who want to learn how to paint. My children and I did three paintings inspired by this book.

Win a Gift Card to Order Your Own StickerBrand Wall Decal
It has been a year since I placed a beautiful StickerBrand Wall Decal in our basement living and entertainment room, which we really like. I like how StickerBrand Wall Decals make my space feel special and unique. In our living room on the main floor we have an area that I find difficult to make functional and attractive, so I thought of using a StickerBrand Wall Decal to make this space livelier and to create a focal point.

Perfuming Our Home With Lampe Berger Paris
When our surroundings smell good, it feels refreshing and gives all of us a positive feeling. This is especially true when we walk into our home, or sit down to relax. I like lightning incense, candles and spray perfumes in my home all the time. Recently I got to experience Lampe Berger to perfume our home. My family and I are enjoying the fragrance that is emitted when the Lampe Berger is on. I chose the Dreams of Flowers Miss Violet fragrance that can be used in any Lampe Berger.

Show Your Love with Hallmark Gifts
Expressing love with these specialty gifts from Hallmark is sure to bring lots of smiles to our loved ones. There are lots of choices at Hallmark such as cute plush toys, blooming expression flowers, signature cards and more. I think we should express love everyday and not only on Valentine’s, and think these gifts are appropriate to give throughout the year.

Our Completed DIY Modern, Eco-Friendly #BathroomReno
We started a #BathroomReno project in the beginning of November, as a weekend and some days in the evening type of project. Having one full washroom and a powder room in our home is not convenient for a growing family like us, so instead of moving to a bigger home we wanted to upgrade ours to accommodate all the family members.

How to Stitch A Rectangle Cushion Cover For A Bedroom Sofa Chair
It is very hard to find matching cushion covers and curtains, so I decided to make my own cushion cover to compliment the curtains in our bedroom. This unique, easy to do project is fun and will complete the decor of the room. If you have all the cloth, buttons and matching thread already at home this project would cost zero dollars.

The Crafty Creatures book is very inspiring because of its colourful images and step-by-step instructions.

There are many projects in this book I have bookmarked to try. We made this Fun Felt Owl from the book.
