There’s something so satisfying about giving new life to a craft you’ve already loved once before. This little heart-shaped decoration from Dollar Tree has already had its moment in the spotlight—first as part of a Valentine’s Day wreath, dressed in soft pinks and sweet charm. But as the seasons shift and winter settles in, it felt like the perfect time to transform this piece into something fresh, cozy, and winter‑inspired. If you enjoy upcycling as much as I do, this project is a wonderful reminder that our décor doesn’t have to be single‑season. With a few simple supplies and a little creativity, you can turn a Valentine’s heart into a winter treasure. Quick video tutorial Materials You’ll Need Acrylic paint (your winter color of choice) Paintbrush Mod Podge Decorative tissue paper (winter patterns work beautifully) Winter foliage (faux greenery, berries, pine sprigs, etc.) Scissors Optional: heating tool Optional: embellishments like faux pearls, beads, or ribbon Step 1: Pr...

A Few Happenings My youngest's volleyball team has won every game since the start of the season. We're so proud of her and her team. We have two more games left this season. This week, someone slammed our side fence with their motorcycle. Thank goodness for cameras! My husband went over to check if the individual was okay, and now we have made arrangements to get them to pay for the damage. It snowed for two days, and we were happy for the moisture. I tried a copycat version of the Starbucks sugar plum Danish recipe, and it turned out great! Instead of plum, I used black cherry jam. It was equally delicious.  Congratulations to our featured bloggers Jennifer at Studio 27 showcased her adorable Faux Mini Gingerbread Houses. She explains how she created these charming litt...
