This is my latest obsession

It is crazy

It's like a virtual bulletin board for all things you love, want to create, dream about, eat, read, & laugh at!


It is a black hole time sucker
don't tell me I didn't warn you!


Have fun & happy pinning!

Teach Me How To Dougie

So I was having a pity party today

really nothing earth shattering

just really nothing at all

I sent an email to all my girls for moral support

In my list of complaints I listed that I was upset

that I didn't know how to Dougie

(this really isn't something to be upset about,

I was trying to be funny &

make fun of the list of nothingness that I was upset about)

to my surprise all my besties did not know what it meant

to dougie

so if my peeps don't know what it means

to dougie

then it is my obligation to show the

very small list of followers of

BellaSky Readers

what it means

to dougie!

So here is how the whole

Dougie thing happened in my world

This song started playing on the radio

at minute marker 0:44 ish is when bruno mentions

"...turn on MTV so they can teach me how to Dougie..."

Dougie?

I asked

what's that

I want MTV to teach me too

So then I found this

and this

And that's how learning how to Dougie became a life mission for me

And now you are all informed

you're welcome!

"Vintage" Canisters

A gift from my aunt & uncle

These A-DOR-A-BLE

mushroom canisters

Can they be any more 70's????

So there is a story as to why these are now sitting in my kitchen

Growing up, we lived right next door to my aunt & uncle

These canisters sat in her kitchen for years

they were such a part of the backdrop of my childhood years

where we spent hours with her cooking, painting our nails, chatting and just being loved

Fast forward 30+ years

These precious treasures from my past were passed on to me!

My Aunt came to visit and gave them to me

"Honey, they have been sitting in my basement for years.

I knew you loved them so I wanted you to have them!"

They have a special place in my heart & now they have a special place in my kitchen

I {heart} them so much

I love you Aunt J!

Also, do you not love my curio cabinet?

It is a flea market find!

it is made from salvaged window frames!

Mod Podge + Goodwill=Pottery Barn Inspired

I saw this post on this absolutely awesome blog that i have been following

called

Mod Podge Rocks

I don't know Amy personally

But I worship her from afar

She has the best ideas

and she uses

Mod Podge for almost all of them!

She found it on another blog called

On the V Side

Anyway, I love these pears the minute I laid eyes on them

I have always loved to read even as a child

so I was inspired to create something using this look

I found this fugly chair in Goodwill for $.99

I gave it a base coat of off white paint

(did not take a before pic but you can still get an idea of its fugliness)

Using pages from an old hard cover book (also Goodwill) i started randomly mod podging

the snipped up pages all over the chair

There was no method here

I just slapped the pieces on all over the place

overlapping & changing directions

tried to keep it totally random

I sanded the edges with sandpaper

then I inked the edges with an ink pad,

I used a little bit of brown acrylic paint on my finger tip to get the curvy areas

Finished

so professional, the backdrop, right?

Here it is on display on another Goodwill find for $4.oo

Primitive Folk Star Shelf

In a previous life I was a first grade teacher

I still love teaching, though I will probably never go back to the classroom

I thought it all went together well-

and was all "teachery"
