A Heart Shaped Box for Valentine's Day Crafting

1/29/2018

82 Comments

 
It's my favorite time of the month again, with the International Bloggers Club challenge.  We are a group of friends from all over the world who get together every month to share our projects and discuss how things are done in our countries.   Last time we shared gift wrapping ideas, and the month before wooden projects. 

And now with February right around the corner we are sharing our Valentine's Day crafts with you.

Photos of the Day for November and December

1/24/2018

30 Comments

 
It has been more than a while since I last shared my "Photos of the Day" with you that I upload on Facebook every month.  These are from the month of November and December. And they were all picked by you!  This is my way of saying "thank you" to all of my followers. 

Things were very busy around here during the holidays.  But also the changes over on Facebook make it pretty certain that you will probably not see them since the social media giant is promoting friends and family and not pages.  And so since you are not seeing them on Facebook I thought this would be a good time to announce that this will be my last "Photo of the Day| collection. 

But fear not, I will continue to post photography.  After all there is always so much to see in New York.  And I even have some photos from Greece. And if you'd like to see them  you can always follow along on my photo posts here.

How to Give a New Life to Old Lamps

1/22/2018

33 Comments

 
Since moving to our new/old home things have gotten very complicated.  The rest of the family was already living here so instead of starting from scratch with a clean slate, I came into a house that had way too much already.  My dad who also lives here had accumulated a LOT of stuff.  

Most of it will have to go (read: garage sale in the spring) but some of it is useable. Point in case this lamp you see below.  I found two of them and knew they'd be perfect for my daughters' room.  Let's seen how I gave a new life to old lamps.

Sweet Inspiration Link Party #90

​Welcome to our Ninetieth Sweet Inspiration Link Party.

Happy Friday everyone.  We are still battling extreme cold and ice.  But the house is nice and cozy.  I keep on thinking how nice it would be to organize and declutter.  But at this point it is just a thought.  How do you motivate yourself to declutter?

I hope you all have a great weekend!!


​The party starts on Fridays 11am EST or 4 pm GMT and runs until Tuesday. By joining us every week you will be able to grow your blog and gather inspiration from so many others who link up to our party. We hope you will join us every week to share and inspire with your projects and creations.

     I'm Mary and I recently  moved to New York from beautiful Greece.  I like to re-purpose and up-cycle  anything that is old or looks like junk.  Join me as we use our creativity to spark some life into old things.  And do it frugally!  You will also see lots of photography of my Greece and New York.
