Every once in a while I allow myself to turn into Martha Stewart. It may because I found something I really liked in a shop and wanted to replicate it or just trying an idea of something I came up with… it could even be a combination of both. That’s when it gets crazy!

I’ve had this blank area on one of my walls that I’ve wanted to try to spruce up. I finally started the process this weekend.
Here’s how you can make this yourself! This is semi-homemade. I bought the metal cross and wooden frame at Canton Trade Days a while ago. The paint I found at Hobby Lobby for less than $1. All together, this is probably under $12 total!

1. Paint the wooden frame with your choice of paint! I did two coats.

2. Nail the metal cross onto the wooden frame. I used a silver nail for this, in order to allow it to blend in a little better, I just colored the head of the nail with a Sharpie.
3. On the back side, I screwed in a D-ring hanger. This allows for a flush finish when hanging on the wall.

4. Pick a special spot for your newly finished masterpiece!

Ta-Da! Finished! Now I just need to add a few of my favorite Texas photos and I’ll have a great area! What do you think?!





I was down for breakfast foods which hit the spot but the Shrimp and Grits… Oh my! Oh my, oh my! Jalapeno cheese grits with baby shrimp topped with two large shrimp. A little bit of spice to hit the flavor pallet but not too much to turn you away. This dish had a way of making you want more and more and more!
And to end it all off, pretty lady and a pretty car! That’s a Rolls-Royce! It’s not everyday you see one of these!
My weekend in a nutshell! I hope y’all had great adventures over the weekend! Now let’s start planning the next one!
