I love to wake up on a lovely Fall morning...before everyone else is awake. I sneak downstairs--make some coffee, grab a granola bar and the paper and hit the streets---looking for garage sales. I LOVE it! I LOVE to find something for nothing! Makes my day! So this past Saturday was that kind of a morning-JOY! http://cleverlyinspired.blogspot.com/2010/10/garage-sale-frame-my-favorite-piece-of.html

Garage Sale Frame = My favorite piece of ART !

vintage book travel-tech organizer

http://www.designsponge.com/2011/08/diy-project-vintage-book-travel-tech-organizer.html As you may have figured out from my My Life Scoop posts, I’m a bit of a nut for tech accessories, especially pocket-sized ones. I can’t get over how awesomely small our entertainment devices are becoming; it makes traveling with them so much easier. But one issue I keep running into is how to neatly organize everything, especially the power cords and connector cables that accompany my favorite devices.

kinda cool

http://www.designsponge.com/2011/11/diy-best-of-handmade-gifts.html Grace’s shopping-free gift guide really resonated with me, and I felt a surge of excitement at the prospect of actually following through on making all my gifts this year. I think handmade gifts have the potential to be loved and cherished far longer than any store-bought present. This is not to say that everyone wants a bar of homemade soap more than something they could really use or some boutique item they’ve been coveting all year.
