In honor of our family reunion today, I’m drinking my morning coffee from my 1996 Giuseponi etc. commemorative family reunion mug.
Eating, laughing and several choruses of “You Are My Sunshine” and “Que Sera Sera” played on the mandolins are sure to fill a jar like this to overflowing.
I love this idea – thanks for the inspiration inchmark.squarespace.com!

This tie is made as a statement necklace – I think it would look amazing over a crisp white button-down for a twist on a traditional office suit.
Love this – Found it at greeneggsnhamm.

This is such a great idea for upcycling old dictionaries, textbooks and sheet music.
I founds this idea on rufflesnadstuff.com – make your own or cheat like crazy and buy it on ETSY.
In this case – either is perfectly acceptable!

I tried to make a quilt once, the remnants of my efforts are still stuffed in the back of my closet under a pile of clothes I keep for “just in case” reasons.
This is the coolest “quilting” idea ever – I could use up some of the old fabrics I have laying about, or upcycle that baby quilt i tried to make into a piece of art perfect for the nursery.
I love this idea, and I found it here.

Sweet and Smart – These would look great anywhere!
I’ve already picked the perfect spot for my hanging flower garden: the large tree in our front yard.
So many good ideas here.

I was feeling pretty good about myself when i completed my first knitted face cloth, it was even somewhat square.
I was feeling good until i saw the one jeney made. Hers was pretty and perfect and mine suddenly looked like a pot holder.
No one wants to wash their face with a pot holder
These cute little jars made me feel a bit better! I found them here.

This is an amazing idea - A vertical garden using rain gutters!
Perfect for a small space, a classroom or a wonderful herb garden! The thing I love best is that I can have a kitchen garden and a puppy!
I found this on pinterest.com – check it out!
