About Us


Hi!
My name is Tonya.


I'm so glad that you have made it to my little corner of the blogosphere!!!

I am a part-time registered nurse/full-time mommy & wife. I have an amazing husband & two beautiful little boys who keep my days very busy!

I love all things DIY, decorating, & photography. You will find a mixture of those things on this blog, along with an occasional post on my family, fashion & my faith. This blog is my escape from the world & my creative outlet to share my projects with all of you!

When this blog was first born, it was a space that I shared with my momma. She has taught me everything she knows & has given me my creative side. Although I do still share an occasional project that she has going on, she is & stays very busy with her etsy business.  Please take time to visit her shop & take a look around!

You are sure to find SOMETHING you will love!

Thank you so much for stopping by & I hope you find something that inspires you today!

  15. I am also from Illinois, and at first was confused as to why you are a St. Louis fan, but now I understand you are in Southern Illinois. I just assumed everyone from Illinois was a Bears fan! Lol! I won't hold it against you! I love your boys rooms, so cute! I am adding you to my "follow" group. Thanks for sharing.

  16. I read you were from a small town in Southern Illinois, Don't know if you ever heard of it but I was born and raised in Centralia, Il. It is a small town in Southern Illinois also.

  18. Hi Tonya!! thank you for your wonderful email newsletters ... very enjoyable and inspiring ... but I do have a question for you ... I see that you used Command hooks inside your kitchen cabinet door for your towels ... how in the world did you get them to stick?? I tried to put one inside my undersink cabinet, and even with gorrila glue it wouldn't stick ... what's your secret???

    Thank you again for your email ... take care ... have a great rest of the day and week ... karen (kare2k02)
