I usually check out the paint chips when my hubby drags me to Home Depot. I usually take quiet a few and ask them if it is ok! They always say yes and smile, especially when I tell them they are for a DIY project! I did a few pieces of artwork with the ones I got this fall, and I gave one as a gift that was loved! I love this idea also! I enjoy this idea and will have to give it a whirl! Enjoy! Thank you Craft Gossip.com!
Want to make a bit of art that will match your new room after you have painted it? Why not try this cool tree art made from the paint chips you have used to decide what color you were going with. You know one will match perfect. Pop on over to the Clever Nesting blog for a wonderful tutorial. I could see using this for a quilt pattern too.
I always love decorating for the holidays and adding shells, sea glass, driftwood, etc. (If fact tommorow we are going to the beach to pick some up to embelish and display) So get your creative juices flowing baby! Enjoy and Feel the Sea Breezes and Sunny Warm Days on your back!

Bright Lights, Beautiful City
Explore the storybook streets of America’s oldest town, St. Augustine, for an electrifying display of holiday cheer.
St. Augustine, Florida, greets holiday visitors with a megawatt smile. Every year, beginning midsummer, city crews start stringing up more than 2 million white lights at 100-plus locations. Businesses and individuals add to the glow with light displays of their own. But you’ll have to turn to local personalities for color: A city ordinance limits holiday lights to white or clear bulbs in the historic district.
TOWN HISTORY Spain’s first settlement in the continental United States, this is the oldest European town in the country. (Sorry, Jamestown, Virginia, and Plymouth, Massachusetts.) The Spanish traditionally mark Christmas by placing a simple white candle in their windows, and this city took that practice to the max. The area struggled through pirate attacks, epidemics, and the threat of English occupation before the construction of Fort Castillo de San Marcos in 1695. After decades of fighting, Spain traded Florida to England in 1763 in exchange for Cuba. However, England’s rule was short. After the American Revolution, the victorious colonies gave Florida back to their Spanish allies―for a while. In 1821, Florida became a U.S. territory.
TOURS OF LIGHTS By land: Pick a horse-drawn carriage from the bayfront stand, then tuck yourself under a plaid throw and clip-clop into the night. Narrated trips last from 45 minutes to an hour and cover more than two miles. Sights include the Lightner Museum, St. George Street, the Castillo de San Marcos, and the light-strewn Plaza de la Constitución. Rates are about $20 for adults and $10 for children; a private ride for two runs about $85, plus tip.
By sea: Catch the full effect of all the wattage from the schooner Freedom (904/810-1010, schoonerfreedom.com). The sailing ship pushes away from its Matanzas Bay dock late each afternoon for two-hour sunset tours that are capped by a panorama of the glittering waterfront. Tickets cost $45, which includes beer and wine.
By air: See incredible views of the glowing city from a helicopter (904/824-5506 or oldcityhelicopters.com). Night tours begin at $170 for up to three passengers and cover 17 miles. Or, if you’re not up for a ride in a chopper but still want a bird’s-eye view, you can honor the city’s nautical tradition by climbing the 219 steps to the observation deck of the St. Augustine Lighthouse (staugustinelighthouse.com), which is across the bay on Anastasia Island.
Thank you Apartment Therapy! Also love their blog! Weeehhh. swooosh.. drool! I love the ideas of using of course things we have, find naturally and then decorating with them.. Eco and loving and in tune with our natural flow of life! So go outside and pick up a few pine cones, for me it could be shells, acorns, etc! Enjoy! Create! Inspire!
The holidays are upon us, and for those who enjoy decorating but don't like to stick to a traditional theme, we'd like to share some great organic ornament options. Inspired by nature (or straight from the source) these ornaments are pretty little bits of earthy fun!
Site back, kick your shoes off, and sip that Organic Lemonade that has been waiting for you. Enjoy the Eco-Lifestyle posts, with a spin on Creative living. Dream, Create, Inspire......
