It's election day! Go out and vote! And as the poles close tonight, picture me wrapped up in this new comfy afghan throw awaiting the results. Thanks, Mom! ~ Beth

Happy Birthday, Bill!
One of the drawbacks of long distance is not always getting to be together on special days. Fortunately I thought ahead to be sure he'd have his birthday presents, even if I couldn't be there the day of. AND it gave me the prefect opportunity to use this awesome faux bois wrapping paper I got… Continue reading Happy Birthday, Bill!

Passport Shadowbox ~ Inexpensive Art – The Pinterest Challenge, Fall Edition!
It's that time again for Bower Power & Young House Love's Pinterest Challenge! So I finally got off my butt and put together a sweet little piece of artwork that I've been meaning to do for MONTHS. As I discussed on Wednesday's post, Bill and I have a bit of a passion for travel, especially… Continue reading Passport Shadowbox ~ Inexpensive Art – The Pinterest Challenge, Fall Edition!

Road Trip to Cincinnati – Part 2: We Do It For the Stamps. And the Sports.
Did you hear the one about the unstamped letter? You wouldn't get it. Ba-Dum-Cheech! No, I don't mean postage stamps, I mean stamp cancellations. In a passport. Specifically, the Passport to Our National Parks. It's a passport containing information and a (nearly) complete list of every National Park in our nation's system. I was first… Continue reading Road Trip to Cincinnati – Part 2: We Do It For the Stamps. And the Sports.

Road Trip to Cincinnati and Castles for YHL – Part 1
It's been a whirlwind weekend as Bill and I roadtripped to Cincinnati for the first stop on YHL's book tour. It was TONS of fun and I wish there were more hours in the day to see more of what turned out to be a very friendly city. Let me tell you about it! My… Continue reading Road Trip to Cincinnati and Castles for YHL – Part 1

We Interrupt this Blogcast for a Special Announcement – YHL In Print!
So, you know those crazy kids, John and Sherry, whom I talk about IRL all the time as if I actually knew them and we were BFFs? (No, I don't actually know them, no we aren't actually friends... but MAN THAT WOULD BE AWESOME.) Well this week is a very special week, as their Book… Continue reading We Interrupt this Blogcast for a Special Announcement – YHL In Print!

B Loves B ~ Inexpensive Art
Confession; I am a bit wedding obsessed. I was before I met Bill, but it only became worse after. Fortunately he's a good sport about it, and even gets excited about little details he thinks might be fun too. (Penn State creamery ice cream shipped to a destination wedding? WHY NOT?! You haven't lived 'til… Continue reading B Loves B ~ Inexpensive Art

On Someday Man Caves and Missing Hockey
Last Thursday was supposed to be a jubilant day - the opening day of the 2012 NHL season. The Flyers were to face the Bruins in a rematch of the Winter Classic. But that was all put aside for the lockout. Whatever the reasons for it, whatever your leanings towards a side, one thing is… Continue reading On Someday Man Caves and Missing Hockey

Olive Ewe ~ Inexpensive Art
You may have notice a bit of artwork in our RASTafari reveal. Well, here's the quick tale of a post-it note from the heart. You see, the obvious drawback of living in two different places is that Bill and I don't get to see each other nearly as much as we wish we could. To… Continue reading Olive Ewe ~ Inexpensive Art

DIY Roots
I sort of grew up in a DIY world without really knowing it. My first 'big girl bed' was a find my parents made and lovingly refinished in a beautiful wood stain. The headboard apparently had been painted and my Dad stripped it to find delicate inlay work that he carefully preserved. My Dad would… Continue reading DIY Roots

The ReStore Trip that Started it All
As far as bachelor pads go, Bill's wasn't all that bad. He's a tidy guy so the only real complaint a girl could make was that it lacked a homey feel. It was more like a bunch of random pieces stuck where they fit. So, when Bill moved to take advantage of an opportunity in… Continue reading The ReStore Trip that Started it All

Finding Our Voice
Bill and I have been discussing the start of a blog for a while now, and a contest has finally gotten our butts in gear. And as I often do, I have found inspiration in the well-timed post made by Sherry today over at Young House Love. She [and her doggy pal Burger] made the… Continue reading Finding Our Voice
