Blogs I Love/Inspiration:
whitewaxflower: This girl has the most adorable sense of style. She loves all things vintage. She has a beautiful house, a beautiful life, an adorable pooch and she thinks my kid is cute. More seriously, she's very crafty, very entertaining to read, and a nice source of inspiration. This blog has been discontinued but is still up and full of inspiration.
Pink Tea: CJ inspired my felt usage and took it to a whole new level. She has awesome tutorials for making felt food and felt barrettes. She also inspires me a great deal to challenge myself as a crafter with new mediums on a regular basis. This blog is also a great resource for party planning ideas, even simple entertaining events.
Gaines Gang: Another one of those places that does a lot of party ideas, recipes, crafting, cheap shopping.
Ana-White: This awesome woman has a website dedicated solely to do-it-yourself furniture. We're talking everything from little to large like beds or outdoor playhouses! Her instructions are free, sometimes resemble expensive brands, and easy for a beginner to follow.
Casamacho: I found this blog when I was a user of thenest.com. There are do-it-yourself home renovation projects that are fantastic! This blogger doesn't update very often, but her home projects are still beautiful to look at. In fact, you'll find her laundry room on my mood board. This blog is inactive but I still love the kitchen.
Idea Room: Endless resource of clever and cute craft projects. Whenever I feel my craft roster running low (HAH!), I look here to fill it back up.
C.R.A.F.T: I started following this blog when it first started. It still doesn't disappoint. There are endless beautiful things from all over the interwebs to look at. And most of the ideas are free or able to be done on the cheap!
Pioneer Woman: I use this website mostly to read the "Confessions" portion of Ree's blog; however, I will admit that I draw a lot of beauty from her Lodge portion and renovation. You may even find her featured in my Laundry Room mood board. She has Cooking, Home-Schooling, Confessions, Home and Garden, and Photography portions. And she's good at all of them!
Helpful Resources:
Olio Board: This website is very useful for creating your own mood board. You can browse products that are real or upload your own inspiration pictures for use.
