This will be a great step by step, getting your questions answered right away. If you look at her site you can see other classes she has on doing these textures and how to make them special.

I think its time to really try to move forward and make a difference in this world. I am not sure exactly yet how to do that specifically but my heart is wanting to go that direction. I want to use this blog and other things to be more than just a family update screen but something that can bring people together in common interests. Of course family updates are the key to who I am, but expanding my own desires and expectations. Monday will be a day for me to set some small goals...I want to think about them through the weekend, formulate on Saturday....hey maybe even Pray about them on Sunday...and start my list on monday. I need a cool thing to call my list--not just a goal list because that sounds too pushy to me...too many expectations. But...I know I will come up with some funky name, I love funky names...Tanyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01148752215647683525noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10043855.post-74233397239891812292011-03-30T14:51:00.000-07:002011-03-30T14:52:34.047-07:00My first video tutorial....in photos but hey...who's counting<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/LECJCwHdQIc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>Tanyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01148752215647683525noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10043855.post-35726848782313093872011-03-22T18:46:00.000-07:002011-03-22T18:49:24.639-07:00From the Pioneer Woman Cooks sounds soo yummy!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhT7_nktZTIy-dcVewUI4nkFyx4y5X3YpUW9i_oXzSf0GXkABKy1b-TUWce8dbqnLLlgcmOz9aRuaEw87GgIj4HLDFtLvBwkDz1JoV_jLfb6QrAsfYbpG2GFG5lPDjPAUlNQTu/s1600/5322713956_2a895494ae_o-420x280.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5587086470014590322" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhT7_nktZTIy-dcVewUI4nkFyx4y5X3YpUW9i_oXzSf0GXkABKy1b-TUWce8dbqnLLlgcmOz9aRuaEw87GgIj4HLDFtLvBwkDz1JoV_jLfb6QrAsfYbpG2GFG5lPDjPAUlNQTu/s320/5322713956_2a895494ae_o-420x280.jpg" /></a><br />Recipe: Pistachio Cake<br />Prep Time: 10 Minutes Cook Time: 1 Hour Difficulty: Easy Servings: 18<br />http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/print-recipe/107538/#size3x5<br /><br /><br />Print Recipe 3"x5" Cards 4"x6" Cards Full Page<br />Ingredients<br />•1 box White Cake Mix<br />•1 package (4 Ounce) Pistachio Instant Pudding Mix<br />•½ cups Orange Juice<br />•½ cups Water<br />•½ cups Vegetable Oil<br />•4 whole Eggs<br />•¾ cups Chocolate Syrup (such As Hershey's)<br />Preparation Instructions<br />Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

I've been watching, reading and drooling over her talent for a very long time. Her creative DIY home projects have me completely inspired, making lists, collecting ideas… Renovating this Limestone is a classic Cinderella story. Once you read their story, you'll understand why. Besides renovating, she will inspire you with her unique ways, her thrifty ways of decorating.</p><h3>Pantry</h3><p>Renovating the pantry can be simple as just painting the inside of the door with chalkboard paint. Seriously……is there anything cuter? Then if you really want to kick it up a notch, add a darling chandelier stenciled image.</p><h3><a href="http://todayscreativeblog.net/limestone/pantry-door-ideas/" rel="attachment wp-att-4320"><img title="Pantry door ideas" alt="chalkboard pantry door" src="http://todayscreativeblog.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Pantry-door-ideas.jpg" width="500" height="500" /></a>Dictionary Art</h3><p>This reminds me. I was going to order some of these prints a bit ago from a gal on Etsy. I must have seen something shiny. But now maybe I'll try it myself. Now on the lookout for old dictionary's. Loving how this looks. The perfect amount of charm, originality and COOLNESS!</p><p><a href="http://todayscreativeblog.net/limestone/dictionary-art/" rel="attachment wp-att-4321"><img title="dictionary art" alt="DIY dictionary wall art" src="http://todayscreativeblog.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/dictionary-art.jpg" width="500" height="579" /></a></p><h3>Block Art</h3><p>You know you have my vote (if that's worth anything) if you have something out of the ordinary on your walls. I mean anyone can buy wall decor at their local department or furniture store…….and fall into the "I'll have what she's having" decorating mentality. Mrs. Limestone is a girl who loves to travel. She even sells some of her photographs she's taken from many of her trips. This DIY wall decor is not only original, but it reflects the dwellers passions and personality. They remind me a bit of my Sid Dickens Memory blocks. I love those.</p><h3><a href="http://todayscreativeblog.net/limestone/block-art/" rel="attachment wp-att-4322"><img title="block art" alt="block art using old documents" src="http://todayscreativeblog.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/block-art.jpg" width="500" height="370" /></a>Silver Leaf</h3><p>Why purchase an expensive bed side table when you can just jazz up one with a bit of Silver Leaf and a sharpie. You can't over think these things…….she proves that by using a jar lid to form that scalloped corner. Can I tell you how much I love brilliant decorators like Mrs. Limestone……..these woman blaze the trail!</p><h3><a href="http://todayscreativeblog.net/limestone/silver-leaf/" rel="attachment wp-att-4323"><img title="silver leaf" alt="decorating with silver leaf" src="http://todayscreativeblog.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/silver-leaf.jpg" width="500" height="206" /></a></h3><h3>Mail Center</h3><p>We all that spot in the home that piles up with mail, papers, etc… And if you don't, then you're just not normal. True. <img alt=":)" src="http://todayscreativeblog.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" /> </p><p>She searched high and low for the perfect small table, worked her magic one it and even cut off the back end. Using a few empty frames and some metal decorative grating, she created the most stylish DIY mail center.</p><h3><a href="http://todayscreativeblog.net/limestone/mail-center/" rel="attachment wp-att-4325"><img title="mail center" alt="DIY mail center" src="http://todayscreativeblog.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/mail-center.jpg" width="500" height="572" /></a>Silhouette</h3><p>I've said it many times before….Do we EVER get tired of a good Silhouette? She needed a dramatic wall piece to go above their bed. Why not a whimsical approach to the traditional silhouette? I believe she has since changed this wall, but I loved the way this looks and thought it was worth passing on to you.</p><p><a href="http://todayscreativeblog.net/limestone/mail-center/" rel="attachment wp-att-4325"></a><a href="http://todayscreativeblog.net/limestone/silhouette-3/" rel="attachment wp-att-4324"><img title="Silhouette" alt="how to make a silhouette" src="http://todayscreativeblog.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Silhouette.jpg" width="500" height="579" /></a></p><h3>Forks</h3><p>Antique silverware is once again a sought after medium for decorating. I don't have it listed here, but you can see an amazing holiday wreath she made using a few spoons. These stamped fork napkin rings can be used year round.</p><h3><a href="http://todayscreativeblog.net/limestone/napkin-rings/" rel="attachment wp-att-4326"><img title="napkin rings" alt="flatware stamped napkin rings" src="http://todayscreativeblog.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/napkin-rings.jpg" width="500" height="306" /></a>Tutorial</h3><p>She has a full tutorial showing you step by step on how she made these. You can pound away your frustrations. And there's that sharpie again. Who knew we'd need a sharpie for so many DIY projects?</p><p><a href="http://todayscreativeblog.net/limestone/napkin-ring-images/" rel="attachment wp-att-4327"><img title="napkin ring images" alt="napkin rings made from antique flatware" src="http://todayscreativeblog.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/napkin-ring-images.jpg" width="500" height="574" /></a></p><p>In her spare time, she dabbles in a little graphic design. Invitations, announcements, menu's, etc….She helped her husband……actually I think her husband helped her…….with some bachelor party invites for a friend of his. Can you just imagine opening up a cool invite like this?</p><p><a href="http://todayscreativeblog.net/limestone/bachelor-party-invitation/" rel="attachment wp-att-4328"><img title="bachelor party invitation" alt="bachelor party invitation ideas" src="http://todayscreativeblog.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/bachelor-party-invitation.jpg" width="522" height="405" /></a></p><p>The best part? They don't look horribly confusing or hard to make. I think these could also make great trophies for a baseball team……too bad my son doesn't play anymore. <a href="http://todayscreativeblog.net/limestone/iron-on-transfer/" rel="attachment wp-att-4329"><img title="iron on transfer" alt="iron on transfer invitations" src="http://todayscreativeblog.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/iron-on-transfer.jpg" width="500" height="203" /></a> But maybe something like this for soccer? Hmmmm.</p><p><a href="http://todayscreativeblog.net/limestone/iron-on-transfer-ideas/" rel="attachment wp-att-4330"><img title="iron on transfer ideas" alt="iron transfer craft ideas" src="http://todayscreativeblog.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/iron-on-transfer-ideas.jpg" width="500" height="207" /></a>I hope you'll head over to Mrs. Limestone's blog and pay her a visit. I know she would LOVE a comment. Wouldn't you? It makes me so happy when my featured bloggers tell me what great readers I have and the nice comments they receive.</p><p style="TEXT-ALIGN: center">Also, don't forget to enter my monthly contest.<a

What is nice is there is no completion date on the bucket list other than when you "kick the bucket" lol.<br /><br />I wasn't ready to make my own, so thought mabye I could get some good ideas online...so I found this website that showed over 500 ideas for a bucket list. I pasted the entire 500 into a wordle (which picks out the most typed words and makes them bigger than anything else) and this is what it showed up. Wow! Go....Learn.....Become.... and many more uplifting words, unspecific to any one thing so really would fit into almost anyone's life. What do you think?<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidX4PSv2DB4Q0CaLvffkBdqEVplLennseTZQROSK9Xo8QU1YtIf0fgvHa4BUqE_o1Pdv0crzM5e2DPe3rypeXKRtU_9F-UH3nakL85GU5S2fT7jhhQKJcP1p3H9wzdr1ncSnRo/s1600/go+learn+becom.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 233px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5564346987876387506" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidX4PSv2DB4Q0CaLvffkBdqEVplLennseTZQROSK9Xo8QU1YtIf0fgvHa4BUqE_o1Pdv0crzM5e2DPe3rypeXKRtU_9F-UH3nakL85GU5S2fT7jhhQKJcP1p3H9wzdr1ncSnRo/s400/go+learn+becom.jpg" /></a>Tanyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01148752215647683525noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10043855.post-77818725738507524402011-01-19T08:28:00.001-08:002011-01-23T12:52:36.372-08:002010 recapDid a chalkboard look of happenings this past year.
