Holy Smokes: Free Art Prints!

Oh. my. goodness. You have got to check out the Feed Your Soul: free art project. They have tons of gorgeous art prints you can download for FREE! --So many fun options, bet you can't choose just one. I know I sure had a hard time. This one is my favorite right now. I think it fits in perfectly around here, don't you?

I found this terrific tip over at the ever inspiring tinyDallas blog. They have some really lovely gallery wall ideas too.  I am planning on using several of these free art prints and mixing them in with all the artwork the kids are bringing home from school for our own gallery wall.

Treasury Tuesday: My Granny Ain't Square

My latest obsession...all things crocheted, knitted, etc. I am especially entranced by the glorious granny square and its numerous variations.

Kickin Back with the Family

Happy Memorial Day to you and yours!
