Our Mission

We are three sisters who want to share how we "live within our means" but live well! We will show you how (with a little elbow grease) you can make any found object into a treasure, cook an inexpensive meal, or bring you inspiration to enrich your life. We grew up in a large family (8 kids) with a mother who was very crafty and creative! Though our lives (aka husbands) have taken us to live in separate states, we still enjoy sharing what we are up to with each other. Now we want to share with you! We hope you enjoy our blog and we also hope it will bring you inspiration and happiness!

Decorative Shelves


Okay, so Christmas has long since come and gone.  I have been so busy since then that I am just now getting around to posting this-even though I made them last year!

Thanksgiving was just coming to an end, and I was so antsy to decorate for Christmas. My house doesn't have a fireplace so I was trying to figure out somewhere to put my stockings.  The idea hit me!  "I have a miter saw in the garage and some random pallets lying around, I will make some shelves!".  An hour later I had these beauties hanging!


If you are into wood working, don't look too closely because the angles don't line up great, but heck I think it adds to the rustic charm!  I have since added some pegs (found at Joann's and then stained).  I forgot to take a picture of the stockings...darn!  Trust me though, it was cute!


Making something out of nothing!! LOVE IT!
