One.
I found
this list of 21 places every American should see before he or she dies. The bad news? I haven't seen ANY OF THEM. (That actually surprised me.) The good news? I have seen so many beautiful spots in this country, so if I haven't found the 21 best yet, then this really IS a beautiful country.

This blogger used drop cloths to make porch curtains. First of all - genius. Secondly - HER PORCH IS ADORABLE!!! While we don't need curtains on our front porch, I'm filing this idea away for our pergola (pierogi, for those of you who have been around for a while) just to dress it up. PS - the rope she used to tie them back is an extra adorable touch.

You know that coffee grounds exist in abundance around Shafferland. So when I found
this article with ideas of how to use them once they're...used...I was so happy! Sure, I'd heard a few of these before, but some were brand new to me. Let's get coffee-grounds-crafting!

This little playhouse renovation (in the spirit of Fixer Upper) is
cute as a button. Am I too old to want a playhouse????

I don't know if I've ever shared
this one before or not, but even if I have, it bears repeating. Before Ryan and I got married, I prayed for him often - even though I didn't know his name. I saw this article on Pinterest this week and thought I'd pass it along. I really like the idea for the using your hand as a prayer guide. That works for praying for
anyone. If you're one of my single readers, I just want to pause to encourage you today! My heart still remembers that season and how much I longed for answers. Sometimes it's hard to have the courage to keep praying when you don't see answers. Don't give up!

This post is about how to make this DIY plant stand. I don't know if I'd use it for a plant stand, but it is cute as a button, I think! Knowing me, I'd probably fill it with books. :)

I have my parents’ kitchen table, which has spots that are worn and the finish has come off. I’m totally going to try the coffee stain trick! I also would like to stain my baskets a darker color like on a blog you posted a while back!
Those coffee filter roses would br fun to make, too! I think I like them better than the real thing!
I hope the coffee stain trick works for you! I haven't made coffee filter roses, but I have made a coffee filter wreath, and I love it!
I have been to two of the top 21 places: Grand Canyon and Gulf Shores,Alabama and possibly Santa Fe New Mexico. Gulf Shores is beautiful. We stayed in an Airbnb or VRBO “cottage”. It was nice too. And the Grand Canyon was amazing.
But we also loved Sedona, Arizona, Great Smoky Mountains and Cade’s Cove, and Coronado Island near San Diego CA. I agree with you there are some amazing places in the United states.
I worked at one of the 21 places! Two summers in the gift shop and two summers as a park ranger at the Carlsbad Caverns.
