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!









It is so precious that you have a blog with your mom! What a treasure! :)

Tonya, I enjoyed looking through your blog :) I'm going to have to share our "before/after" pics of some things we've done in our homes :) Your kitchen reminds me of what we did in ours :) Love your idea for dark floors......ours are light right now (what was here when we moved in!)
ReplyDeleteWow, so nice you have a blog with your mom, that is soooo amazing. I hope my mom share the same passion as I do but it isnt. :(

ReplyDeleteHi Tonya: I want to decopage the pictures onto a wood box...been planning it for a long time....question: did you decopage over the picture itself or just use the modge podge to glue the picture on the box? Thanks, Terre.
ReplyDeleteHi Teresa!
DeleteThe Mod Podge goes on the wood box & also over the top of the picture! Thanks for your inquiry & for stopping by!
I just clicked on your Moms etsy shop, and realized that she is one of the favorite shops that I follow on Etsy! Lol! Small world :)
ReplyDeletePlease!! Your font is too faint. Please use a darker print, I love your blog and I want to keep reading it. Thanks
ReplyDeleteYou need to do a hair tutorial on your hair curly like this, love it!!
ReplyDeleteI agree with the hair blog idea! You are so stinking cute!! I just discovered your blog today and am already addicted. There are so many things I love and want to do!!! Thank you for blogging :)
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeletelove the website!!!! great job, Tonya!
ReplyDeleteHi 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???
ReplyDeleteThank you again for your email ... take care ... have a great rest of the day and week ... karen (kare2k02)
