I haven't posted for a really long time but wanted to post some fun recipes for Holiday essential oil blends and tips for staying healthy with essential oils this winter season<br />
<br />
First of all I want to share my go to for when I have cold and flu symptoms:<br />
I like to make a bath with Lavender essential oil, Eucalyptus essential oil, baking soda and epsom salt<br />
I just run a hot bath and put one T. epsom salt, 1 T. baking soda, 2 drops lavender and 1 drop eucalyptus. This is a great mix to detoxify, relax, and open up sinuses. I like to do this bat at bedtime to help me get a good nights sleep. I will also run a mix of 3 drops lavender and 1 drop eucalyptus in my diffuser close to my bed.<br />
<br />
I also wanted to share my new favorite holiday blend of essential oils for the diffuser that's really getting me motivated to get my Christmas on!<br />
<br />
3 drops sweet orange essential oil<br />
2 drops cinnamon essential oil<br />
1 drop of clove essential oil<br />
<br />
Not only does this make my house smell amazing the stimulating action of these oils helps to keep my energy levels up!<br />
<br />
Happy Holidays<br />
everyone<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
I have a hard time discerning between what elements I use that are considered "farmhouse" and which ones are considered "cottage." I guess my style is just considered "eclectic." I am not sure exactly what that means either- I just know what I like and I make it work! I definitely like a lot of white and neutrals.(much like my wardrobe) This post was inspired by: </div>

I had other things on this table and had been wanting to switch it up- so perfect timing since I needed </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to make a spot for these cuties! My dad makes these beautiful tables from old barn wood- he usually uses large fence post logs for the legs-but he customized this one for me. I just adore white! The jars I had upcycled and featured in a previous post, I formerly had these jars as a centerpiece on my dining room table. My dad also made the cool piece above the table. I sent him a photo of something similar I had seen online or in a magazine- and poof! he made it for me! He's so talented!</div>

My friend Judy got me both the birdcage and the frame as gifts. I again, had these items in other places then put them together for this Vignette. Lots of times, "redecorating" for me is just re- arranging or reusing things I already have in a different way. Here's a closer view of the goods I used for this look:</div>

WHAT TO DO WITH ALL THESE JARS AND CANS I HAVE BEEN HANGING ON TO?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's what I did with the glass jars at least!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thoroughly cleaned the jars and removed the labels-</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I highly recommend goo-gone to remove the labels with ease- love this stuff! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I painted them with several coats of regular old white acrylic paint-</div>

I know chalk paint is all the rage- but I didn't have any at the time! </div>

- to be honest- I took a break for a while- <br />
for many reasons---<br />
while dealing with many challenging life changes I have had over the past year<br />
including my daughter getting married <br />
and expecting a baby in April- good things-<br />
my sweet little Hugh starting his first day of Kindergarten-<br />
getting divorced and downsizing from the <br />
beautiful house of my dreams<br />
to a 952 square foot condo- <br />
and re-entering the work force<br />
and I am gonna be honest- I don't do change well<br />
when I was 6 my mom gave me a huge surprise one day<br />
she completely redecorated my room while I was gone to school for the day<br />
guess what? I cried- I wanted my old stuff back!<br />
That's me. <br />
and there is nothing so sure in life as change-<br />
I have found myself challenged to get through regular daily tasks-<br />
let alone engage in the creative process-<br />
but all is not lost---- there is always the light at the end of the tunnel! <br />
and I am happy to say....<br />
THE BITCH IS BACK<br />
Which leads me to this Elton John song that always makes me smile<br />
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vhyuj7Qdcz8">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vhyuj7Qdcz8</a><br />
<br />
<br />
full of creativity and tons of fun ideas to fill up the pages of my blog! <br />
so thanks to all of my friends and family who have been here supporting and loving me through lifes ups and downs<br />
this bitch is back and better than ever!!!!<br />

thought we should start with the reasons I am a mom. Sierra my 16 year old(who is gonna love that i posted this picture, after all what teenage girl doesnt want such a flattering photo of themselves posted on the internet for the whole world to see!?!?) on the left is Brady the 5 year old and Hugh, the 3 year old. This photo was taken at one of our favorite breakfast spots, Panera....= coffee(or as i call it, the elixir of life) for mom, cinnamon crunch bagel for the kiddos....we took them out before Brian and i escaped for the first night ALONE, OVERNIGHT, BY OURSELVES in 10, yes i said 10 years!!!!! as you can see they were gonna miss us very much! We went to the most lovely Inn, Tara, a country inn in PA. although I am not quite sure we knew how to act in all that peace and quiet....there was a lot of sleeping, doing nothing and soaking in the hot tub in our room....i missed the kids like crazy, the time away was great, but being home was better! remind me of this sometime during future rantings about how they are driving me crazy.... <heart> all three of my babies <div style="clear: both;">

<strong><span style="color: #38761d; font-size: medium;">Bradys Turtle Book</span></strong></div>
<br /> Brady found some pictures of Turtles he liked in an add in one of my magazines. So, I decided it would be fun to let him practice with his scissors, which then transpired into the idea of having him make a mini art book! I found some oversized index cards to glue the turtle images to, it was important that i let him do all the work himself! After he made a seperate card for each turtle, I set him free with some colored pencils to do his own artwork on each page. I spelled out the word turtle for him to copy,( as he cant fully read and spell yet) and he decorated a cover. I then showed him how to punch holes so we could hook them together to form a book. I tied the cards together with some string and voila! his own turtle artwork book!!!!<br /><br /><span style="color: #38761d;"></span> <div style="clear: both;">

I have to admit I am a total foodie. There is just something so satisfying about making a meal that everybody loves. We have old fashioned dinners at my house where everyone sits at the table and eats, almost every night of the week. There is something to be said for us all gathering around the table and sharing our days events and renewing our sense of family I tried this recipe over the weekend and it was a huge hit!!! I served it with steamed broccoli with garlic butter. We will definitely add this to our repertoire of regulars.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">

Sierra recently admired some pretty covered journals in a local shop we were visiting. Me being the thrifty mom I am, discreetly let her know that we could make those ourselves! Sierra picked some lovely paper from<strong> 7 Gypsies</strong>. I also picked up some of the new line of scrapbooking materials from <strong>French</strong> <strong>General for Jolees Boutique</strong>.(If you have never seen French General, check out their website, I gaurantee you will be hooked) We first started with Blank composition books.(which can almost always be found for 1 dollar each) We then decorated them using plain old elmers glue sticks and created our own designs with paper and scrapbooking items. the 3rd picture down is Sierra spinning the tunes via laptop while we created! This kid of mine has some pretty good taste in music!We listened to lots of her Indie faves....I think our finished products are absolutely delightful- perfect to tuck into a backpack or pool bag this summer and jot down our ponderings. Sierra is getting quite good at poetry and writing... <div style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">"Let's go for a walk," I said to the boy</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">He replied with a scowl;turned back to his toys</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">"and what if I promised fun on the way?"</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">"what if I told you it's mud puddle day?"</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">and mud puddle day it was!!!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">When my boys saw the torrential downpour on Fathers day,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">They couldnt help but run around in it!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Accross the street they discovered the deepest, muddiest, most amazing mud puddle ever!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">even though the a part of me wanted to scream, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">"no! too messy" the mama in me prevailed and i sat and enjoyed the pure joy they found in their discovery!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">right now the house is quiet, little boys are sleeping, and the big girl is at vbs....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">(I miss that girl and cant wait to hug her)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">I feel oddly lonely and empty at this silence...which usually beckons me to read or write,,,,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">or fold another load of laundry...but this time something is different....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">and I realize time is passing entirely too fast...I feel something slipping away... then I remember that when 7 am rolls around my busy world will be reawakened and sigh with relief</span>.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">life is good, better than good</span> </div>

<br /> I have been seeing these made all over the place and I have been wondering just how to attach the dishes together.Then a friend told me E-6000!!!! you simply glue the dishes together! E-6000 is pretty much a forever adhesive! I just took some leftover dishes from the Junque girls sale and assembled this beauty while the kids were swimming! I let it set for 24 hours before putting it out with the seed, and the top little birdie bowl is filled with water! the birds must be loving it because I put it out the day before yesterday and I had to fill it already! next up, I will find an organic hummingbird food recipe to fill my new hummingbird feeder that I purchased at wal-mart! <br /> P.S. these would also make great serving trays for an afternoon tea!!!! <div style="clear: both;">

Just had to share my sweet little boy as he intently painted the other day. There is something that sparks the imagination and creativity about creating art outside.....getting in touch with the earth on the most basic level... and no one is more perceptive of this than children. It was such a joy to see Hugh deep in thought and creating....<3 Just another reason to love summer!</div>

i have a fondness for cranberries that is beyond words...i dream of standing knee deep in a cranberry bog in New England...harvesting these red beauties(maybe there is some sort of vacation for that?) soooo, in short i decided it is way past time to learn how to make my own cranberry sauce...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a quick google search....and to my amazement(and joy) it is quite simple! Here is the recipe I choose from www.savorysweetlife.com</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: medium;">(simple and amazing) cranberry sauce recipe</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
ingredients:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
12 oz. bag of fresh cranberries</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3/4 c. orange juice</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2/3 cup of brown sugar</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1/3 cup white sugar</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">directions:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
place all of the ingredients in a saucepan(I made a double batch) and cook on medium high heat for 15 to 20 minutes or until most of the liquid is reduced. You'll hear the cranberries popping, dont worry, that's what you want them to do. Remove from the heat and serve. Cranberry Sauce can be mad days ahead of time, then warmed to room temperature or heated slightly.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">yummmmmmmmmmmmm! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
also on that website, there is an apple cranberry crisp recipe with this cranberry sauce as a base</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I found this cute little basket at goodwill for a mere $2.00! But- it needed some jazzing up!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have seen painted baskets lots of places with burlap accents- decided to make one for myself!!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbE0pBmKnCdLyf2Tpoyy-o8NY89OJi1EM5G9OQblgPmi8DGss6wwGrp7HjCfXjM1EScuYuCiZdgRtgqSp2cpMhDD75MR-D5_WwvYmRt11k5ZBTTer3F8cThiWnzHdGfr2D4awa5bQhJL35/s1600/wine+basket+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbE0pBmKnCdLyf2Tpoyy-o8NY89OJi1EM5G9OQblgPmi8DGss6wwGrp7HjCfXjM1EScuYuCiZdgRtgqSp2cpMhDD75MR-D5_WwvYmRt11k5ZBTTer3F8cThiWnzHdGfr2D4awa5bQhJL35/s320/wine+basket+3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
first I just got a .96 can of white spray paint and sprayed the basket...*don't forget to use spray paint in a well ventilated area*</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlEwolxZ_9xGb1mEmxhohlGQxPRn7Wh-Ytk0Qw9dC_AaXKXi3oC021aoRtWmmu5LmjgqJFMLl7PioDlL32iCfyP60vXEEMt41xIhB46xtPw_M-A0U2QNUKC46dUd0LP9bcoL4k1lbwBJ8E/s1600/wine+basket+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlEwolxZ_9xGb1mEmxhohlGQxPRn7Wh-Ytk0Qw9dC_AaXKXi3oC021aoRtWmmu5LmjgqJFMLl7PioDlL32iCfyP60vXEEMt41xIhB46xtPw_M-A0U2QNUKC46dUd0LP9bcoL4k1lbwBJ8E/s320/wine+basket+4.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I next measured the area where I wanted to place the burlap- then, I cut the burlap to the measurements of the basket- laid down some craft paper and taped the burlap to hold it in place. This way I can stamp my design without staining my table!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPgirtEvK_S5-Zwd2a-ly4zzdANdsRo6SDfUGYMXMqF4AwO3WcT_A1gajUbQ13fegwPUaCFz99B2WTHpljFjIaMObLdCn4aB7RWlE_j-DadWFjojxmN-Z6cwVeX6bfskCIKfVNZTbiyWZ7/s1600/wine+basket+5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPgirtEvK_S5-Zwd2a-ly4zzdANdsRo6SDfUGYMXMqF4AwO3WcT_A1gajUbQ13fegwPUaCFz99B2WTHpljFjIaMObLdCn4aB7RWlE_j-DadWFjojxmN-Z6cwVeX6bfskCIKfVNZTbiyWZ7/s320/wine+basket+5.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used foam letter stamps- but stencils also work well on burlap- I used a small container of white acrylic paint approx. $1 at Pat Catans-</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1fRO1GU3vhgyU4CyzjGjWM9JJ5RIodWnZK697KN0Jjoz6xo9B315rtoAvis_tdmoI5O4vjdBV2YdBV6fhMbC1Uu5RqlQKfzkrg1lXdvf6lKB79NdyGvtbGEVGQHqg1JMhcXqZjs9BNdbe/s1600/wine+baasket+6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1fRO1GU3vhgyU4CyzjGjWM9JJ5RIodWnZK697KN0Jjoz6xo9B315rtoAvis_tdmoI5O4vjdBV2YdBV6fhMbC1Uu5RqlQKfzkrg1lXdvf6lKB79NdyGvtbGEVGQHqg1JMhcXqZjs9BNdbe/s320/wine+baasket+6.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since I am a fan of all things French since taking French in High School- I googled French wines and picked one that sounded good to me- along with a nice foam stamped impression of a fleur de lis</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I attached the burlap to the basket with some pretty decorative brads- and its the perfect addition to my Country French style dining room!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All that's left to do is continue collecting wines and Italian sodas to fill it up! <3</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am really feeling some nice reds this season...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and the approximate cost of this beauty? $5.00!!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
enjoy and I hope that you all enjoyed your holiday weekend!</div>

This cake stand with dome had seen its glory days- and now lay abandoned in my basement with a huge chip in it & this metal oil pan had also seen better days- my mom had actually already painted this for me to turn into a serving tray - Then she came up with this fab idea- turn it in to an awesome pedestal tray! </div>

check out the amazing table my dad made from me from old barn wood! most of his creations are more primitive looking than this, but he put a shabby chic spin on it just for me! The metal wine rack was once a milk crate- bought @ my friend Susans' shop- Home Sweet Home for a song-</div>
