Today I thought I would share with you some of my favorite online places to visit for inspiration when I'm feeling crafty-artsy or just want to look at pretty things.
Miss Lovie @ www.missloviecreations.blogspot.com is upbelievable at just about most crafts, but she rocks it out when it comes to jewelry.
www.cottonandcurls.blogspot.com has some super cute stuff!
www.cluckclucksew.com is an amazing quilter and I love some of her sewing projects. She's even inspired me to try one of her quilts that she assures is simple (we'll see I guess).
http://www.stitchedincolor.com/ -Sews like a dream, and while I could never make the quilts she makes- it still inspires me to break out the sewing machine to create something- even if my projects are smaller and simpler!
My all time favorite spot to sit down with my hot tea and warm blanket and veg out for a while is Meg's site @ www.megduerksen.typepad.com - This lady Loves Christ and is so talented it is crazy!
Of course- I also love Pinterest- but really- who doesn't?!
Well, I'm off to my Mom's Pray Group!
Have a Blessed Day!

Wednesday Tour: Front Bath
I know that I said that the tours of my home were going to be on Tuesday, but I had a change of plans now that I am working on Tuesdays. So you can now enjoy the tours on Wednesdays instead (I'm featuring a new room each week).
Today I am glad to show you my front bath. Since my guests use this bathroom as well as my children I chose to decorate it non-kid (don't feel sorry for them, they each have their own bedrooms and a playroom).
When we first started on this bath it had hunter green and mauve wall paper with a matching border, green, mauve, and cream laminate, brown stained cabinets, and a different light fixture (we did all the remodel ourselves with a little help from some family-I love you Tori. Yay us!). So this is it's unveiling!
So Welcome, and enjoy your look around!
Yes! That is my elbow...sorry.
I made these framed button art. I will be giving a tutorial on how to make them Saturday. So come back and check it out!
This corner of the bath is still a little sad. I still want to do more to it, but I just don't know what yet. Oh and I redid this frame too! It used to be gold as well. I did it the same way I did the "H" above so if you want to know how click on the link above.
I love this stool! My dad made it for my kids...aren't homemade things so much better? Especially when they are a gift from family and friends!
This is a grapevine wreath that I unwound. I also shabby chic-ed this basket (see above link for directions).
I got this scoop at one of my baby showers. It is great for storing toys in the tub. It hangs on the wall of the bathtub with suction cups. I think it came from Target.
So there you have it...My front bath. I hope you enjoyed and maybe even got some ideas for your own homes. Hope to see you back next week (or more often if you want!). Bye!

Shout Out: Kiki and LeLe Jewelry...
For Christmas I bought the cutest handcrafted jewelry from this little business that I came across while surfing blogs called Kiki and LeLe. I loved their jewelry so much that I had a bracelet made for my mom, a bracelet and necklace made for Holly, and a necklace made for myself. Here is my necklace...
Isn't it cute! I love it so much! They did so great that I wanted to write this post to give them a shout out. I think it is a mompreneur business (mom with own small business) so I feel great knowing that I supported a fellow mom business! Click on the button below if you want to check out their site. You'll be glad you did!

Hot Chocolate made like Mom...
This Hot Chocolate Mix recipe is my moms. It has been a family tradition in the Selph house (my parent's house)for as long as I can remember. I have now made it a part of my own family's Christmas season, and love it!
It is also great for giving as gifts. Teachers, friends, family, they all love it!
Hot Chocolate Mix Recipe:
It makes a whole lot so you will need a huge bowl to mix it in.
1 1 lb. box powdered sugar
1 1 lb. jar coffee mate
8 qt. box non-fat dry milk
1 cup cocoa
2 cups granulated sugar
Mix well. Store in a large covered canister. When ready to drink fill mug 1/3 full with mix and top off with hot water. Add marshmallows (optional), stir and enjoy. (For my young children I usually add a little cold milk so it is not too hot)
When giving as a gift I always put it in a small mason jar topped with ribbon and a tag telling how to mix it when ready to drink. But I am sure there are lots of beautiful ways to package it.
I hope that this can find a way into your homes for all to enjoy this Christmas Season! Merry Christmas!

Decorativie Ornaments...
I got the idea for making these ornaments from an ornament that I was given from Nolan's Aunt Kelly last year. I love the colors and they look great on a tree (they reflect and throw the light great!). I am making them for my friends this year. Sorry to ruin the surprise girls, but Merry Christmas!!!
