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!

DIY wedding sign


The morning of my brother-in-laws open house,  my mother-in-law pulled me aside and said she really wanted a direction sign so guests knew where everything was. This was the end result!  Not too shabby for a last minute design (if I do say so myself)!

I used a miter saw to do the arrows and for the lettering I used a technique I learned a long time ago. You print your lettering and trace them onto the wood hard enough that it leaves in indentation. I then pain the indentation. I would never say it's the best method, but it got the job done.

  1. I love, love, love this! I was thinking it would be fun do do something like this for my garden. The sings could point to my tomatoes and my roses, etc.
