Quick easy, no cost craft!

Inspired, as so many of us are, by design blogs...I have been seeing SO many easy, no cost crafts for our homes.  Sometimes just rearranging things can make a difference in how we see our rooms. Giving our brains something new to view and make our home rise up to meet us.  One of the crafts I did the other day was so easy it cost me nothing to do and looks great!

I took a frame off the wall (when I just did our hallway redo, see here) and had no plans to put it back up. It sat in our bedroom for weeks. I finally found a home for it, however it got an entire new look. It was one of those cheap, wooden frames that you fit three pictures in. You can hang vertical or horizontal.  I took all the pictures out, spray painted the wood frame with black paint (left over from the bench re-do I just did) put some burlap where the pictures were, hot glued some precut letters into the spots on top of the burlap, reframed and rehung in my kitchen.   WA LA!  Looks great and my kitchen has new art!

National Chocolate Chip Day

May 15, 2012 is National Chocolate Chip Day Today is National Chocolate Chip Day! Chocolate chips are an essential ingredient in dozens of delicious baked goods—chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip brownies, chocolate chip bagels, and many more. You can even find chili recipes that call for these sweet morsels! In the 1930s, Ruth Graves Wakefield created the original chocolate chip cookie at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Ruth intended to bake chocolate cookies for her guests, but she ran out of baker’s chocolate. She substituted with chopped up semi-sweet chocolate morsels and discovered that the pieces did not melt into the dough as she expected. Her cookies were an instant hit. Today, 25% of all the cookies baked in the United States are chocolate chip! To celebrate National Chocolate Chip Day, pick up a bag of chocolate chips at the supermarket and bake something yummy to share with friends and cowor
