As you may know I’ve been working on sprucing up my boy’s room this week, so I’ve been cleaning and organizing in there. I came across this globe I’d gotten for them at an estate sale a while back. It’s nothing special, but it served its purpose. I thought I could give it a quick [...]
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Miracle-Gro for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. Hello!! I’ve spent the week doing a little organizing, a little crafting, and a little nothing. In that order:) I’m so happy to have finally done my Birdcage Gardening Project! Which Birdcage Gardening project you ask? [...]
Hello, hello! I felt a little crafty this past weekend, so I started to look around the house for victims what could use a little sprucing up for Spring.. I found this not so good looking tray from Goodwill that had been laying around; it had faux porcelain tiles (a.k.a. stickers) and was a pecan [...]

Hey, hey! How was your weekend? I’d love to say I spent the weekend catching up on housework, but the truth is I chose to do a little bit of crafting instead. Can you blame a girl? My first project was a Valentine’s Day Sunburst. I grabbed a few things I had around the [...]
Repurpose a Desk into a Sideboard (Buffet) You know that old piece of furniture that you have sitting in your garage ready to donate or give away? Don’t do it! If its got good bones, then fix it up, or re-purpose it into something that will be functional in your space. I had [...]
Hi lovelies! A few weeks ago I found this old and slightly beat-up jewelry box at my local thrift store, it was on sale (oh yeah…second hand and on sale) so I just had to take it home and give it some much needed love. I had so much fun making this little [...]
You may remember my friend Emily–she’s shared a couple of projects here at Chase the Star before (like this one and this one). She’s a great friend, and very crafty! Recently she made a fun sign with some hooks, so I asked her to let me share the tutorial with you! In her own words, [...]
I'm Barbara, and I love to create, decorate, and tackle DIY projects! I'm also a busy mom and wife trying to balance it all, as the woman God made me. I love to make others laugh, and anything chocolate! Glad you're here, look around, and make yourself at home!
