One of my FAVORITE Christmas traditions is making “Christmas” mints. What are Christmas mints you say? Glad you asked! While most ladies are slaving away in the kitchen making Christmas cookies, I’m dipping homemade mints in chocolate. And the Christmas mints have a great story…it’s a doozy so here’s the Reader’s Digest version. It’s a … Read more
The noodling around in the bedroom that we started yesterday continues. This time, we’re putting a mirror on it: Since we emptied out the entryway and started switching it up to make it more functional for us, we were left with a mirror and no place to hang it. Side note: I swear we’re still … Read more
Not to be confused with “canoodling around the bedroom”. That’s an entirely different blog post for an entirely different blog. We’re talking this evening about noodling around the bedroom. As in making small changes, or tweakages, here and there until a room becomes more cohesive and more us. Case in point…the master bedroom before the … Read more
It’s official, I’m in the Christmas spirit. AND in the Christmas decorating spirit. I have no boundaries as to what I decorate (or glitter-ize). This weekend, I threw together a quick and easy craft project to display our Christmas cards in a festive way. I wasn’t really feeling the card wreath that I made last … Read more
Warning…I’m about to reveal our first annual “Campbell Family Christmas Card”. So if for some strange reason, if ye friends and family of ours are out there reading this, and you haven’t received our card yet, you may want to avert your eyes and run for the hills. Drum roll please…”Joy To The World” (note … Read more
For all you Will Ferrel, “Elf” aficionados out there, I regret to inform that I’ve only watched said movie once this year. Believe me…I’m just as disappointed about that as you are. I mean…seriously…I’m not living up to that once a day quota of true Elf fans. But anyway…we’re spreading the Christmas cheer around the … Read more
The board and batten is up people…I repeat…the board and batten is up in the entry. After a couple of hours worth of installation thanks to the boy toy husband, we officially have a board and batten-ed up entryway. And I’m not gonna lie, it kind of feels like jail in there…not that I would … Read more
Lately I’ve been doing a decent amount of thinking…musing over the functionality of our house. Especially in a small house, such as ours, where every square inch has to work overtime in the functionality department. One space that I always question is the entry. It’s cute and adorable when it’s all picked up and cleaned … Read more
I’m still pseudo in denial that it is December. I cannot confirm nor deny that I’ve been rocking the flip flops and lathering on the sunscreen, ready to soak up those not so existent rays. But alas, it is in fact December…and alas, I suppose it’s time to start thinking about Christmas. One of my … Read more
You knew I couldn’t leave it alone…the wedding art gallery that was in the works in our master bedroom. So we recently noodled away at it and took it from this: To this: Ahhhhh…I’m finally at peace with the gallery. It’s perfect…ridiculously, awesomely, perfect. The project was so un-Angie like, at least in terms of … Read more
It’s time to put your thinking caps memory caps on, cuz we’re going back…back in a New York Groove. What?! Every good blog post deserves a little Kiss. Anyway…serious time now. Or about as serious as we get around these parts. But do you remember when we refinished our hall floor? The floor along the … Read more
No I haven’t confused my holidays and no I’m not going all patriotic on you. I’m just revealing our little wedding art gallery that we just hung up in our master bedroom, complete with a little “C” art from Etsy. For those of you who have been around the roost and then some, you’ll recognize … Read more
Colby and I have been talking (ALOT) lately about how a great title for a movie would be “Shadow of a Goose”. In fact, Colby is working on the screenplay as we speak. So naturally, I worked it into the title of this post. And how appropriately since we’re talking about a little wedding invitation … Read more
Hold on to your britches folks, this post is gonna be a doozy! That is if you define doozy by using 34 pictures to illustrate how to shingle a roof. As I mentioned in yesterday’s “Roofing Tools Of The Trade” post, we finally finished shingling our porch roof. And, of the three roofs going on with … Read more
It’s official…we are completely done roofing our house. A few weeks ago we shared with you our “roofing the main part of the house” story where my brother Anthony, his friend Adam, and Colby managed to hammer out (pun 100% intended) re-shingling the main section of the house. That just left the much smaller porch … Read more
So some of you super-observant readers out there may have noticed in yesterday’s post, but there has been a little rearranging going on in the living room and parlor at Casa Campbell. More specifically, a little chair re-arranging. Before, there was this pink chair in the living room: And then this matching pink chair in … Read more
