Howdy, friends! I took yesterday off from blogging to do a much-needed house detail. My son starts school Sept. 4th and I need to start getting my home back into school mode. I think I went through over 200 pieces of artwork that my son had created. He is definitely a gifted artist for an eight year old! Quite amazing, actually, and I need to display his art in our home. I am so proud of him. So, most of the day we spent going through his art and deciding what we would frame for a gallery wall. That will be fun to show to you when it is done.
For today, I am going to share some pinspiration. I have had these ideas pinned forever and told myself before summer was over I would try them out.

I had to jump on the sharpie bandwagon! I’m a sucker for a cheap and easy craft. I just did what the instructions said: write with a sharpie, bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
I made some very simple coffee mugs for my Bliss. office:
Next– boot time! Fall is just around the corner(whoo-hoooo!) and I get to pull all my fabulous boots out of their hibernation! I like to see what I have when putting outfits together. Last season, I had a lot of boots playing dead on my closet floor. This idea is genius to me. I just bought some pool noodles from the dollar store. Thank you again, Pinterest! Now, my closet will be so fab for fall!

I used my mug while sipping coffee deliciousness as I blogged this morning. Amazing how such a simple little word on a mug puts a smile on my face!
Happy Wednesday! Are you pinspired now?? These were super easy and do not require any skill at all. Just a couple bucks and a trip to the dollar store!

He has the gift. He can even sketch something from memory and get every detail right. I’m excited to see where he goes with it one day

LOVE the mugs! I’d seen that idea before & had no idea it was so easy. Can’t wait to try it out
Hi, Shalom! Yes, super easy. I’m going to get a little more creative when I make more of them. It really works, I’ve washed them and the writing stays. xxx Kristin
I can never get enough pinspiration
I hear ya! xoxo Kristin
Cool mug idea! I use old magazines rolled up for my boots. Not as pretty, but it works.
That’s a good idea too, and FREE, even better!
