Holiday Home {Pinterest Inspired}

While we casually stroll through my Christmas home, just know I get overjoyed with excitement as I go through old decorations, do some revamping and then of course add some new decorations to the mix.

Luckily, Patrice and I craft a lot together, so this inspiration comes from her. This is so fun and it adds some spunk to the outside decor!




I love finding old things and putting them together for something a little fun....like this Frosty hat! Check it out here.

Of course shopping for women is always easy, but what do you buy someone that has everything, or that says "oh, I don't need anything." The many items on these lists are sure to fulfill any stocking hung with care.

Thanks again to Pinterest for helping me find these great resources!

Happy Friday!

Fall-tography {Pinterest Inspired}

Photography has always been a number one priority in my families life. My fiance works as a photographer and gives such fabulous inspiration on a daily basis. I on the other hand am simply amateur, but REALLY enjoy being behind {and in front} of the camera.

The fabulous change in the weather makes for the perfect combo of cloudy and colorful days to capture just the right shots.

I found a couple of shots I wanted to share via Pinterest and couple from Tim and I that I had pinned to my {ispy with my lil camera board}! Enjoy!

{source}

{source}

I fell in love with this shot. We were engaged last October and I hope to have a fall wedding as well.. keeping this photo inspiration on the back burner just in case!


{source}

I love this photo of Tim and I. This was my regular turning the camera around and hoping for the best! PS! Gotta love Instagram! {follow me @ j_johnson}

{source}

Wow! This always impresses me; I enjoy my friends and admire their hobbies {especially when I receive jars of honey at my door}. What a great time of year to capture the daily lives of the ever so, hard-working bee.

I would love to see what inspires you to snap a shot. Leave me a comment or let me know your Instagram user name! I'd love to follow you!


Happy Friday LTC!

Friday Finds {Pinterest-My Style}

Tomorrow begins my favorite month of the year!

My Pinterest finds this month will lead up to Halloween each week with a different theme.

Lets start off with what I find to be the best part of decorating this time of year {almost as much as cookies} the good ole....

It amazes me when I see all the different variations that people use. Typically carving was the only option and I was finding myself borrowing templates from Martha. Now with Pinterest, I've discovered such wonderful ideas on the mixer {as I like to call it}.

The Pumpkin {Mixer}

A few of my {personal} favorites.

                    {e pumpkin via}                                         {apothecary pumpkins via}

{LTC Tutorials!}

Aren't these great? Potato stamping on the left and a simple sharpie on the right...genius!

I can't wait to start pulling out my own ideas and using some of the great ones from my boards that I have logged. {Oh the simplicity of Pinterest..I don't have to think of what I want to make...I just look at my boards}

Hope you'll follow me here. Leave me a comment on how you love to decorate your pumpkins! I'd love some new inspiration!


Happy Friday and Happy October! {well almost;)}

T-Shirt Up-Cycle

With school back in session and fall fast approaching, I am quickly going through my old tees and realizing I have a ton of old shirts that I hate to get rid of.
Luckily, I found this great Up-Cycle idea..the t-shirt necklace. Check out the tutorial here.



After making several variations of colors, I finally realized an easier way to make them without having to tie the knot in the back was to grab some of my fiances old tees {the fitted tees in the above shot just weren't big enough}. So this is the style I came up with {and you can wear and many or as few as you would like}.


I've also been noticing some people braid their tee's {which I must try}. Check out the braided tutorial from I Still Love You

I just love the chunky look these necklaces offer and the vintage style which I adore.

Won't you share your T-Shirt necklace with us..I'd love to see it on FLICKR or FB!
Happy Friday LTC!
