Greetings from Thursday...

Hi, I am Patrice! You certainly have no idea who I am, though I am sure I have stumbled upon, scrolled through, or simply drooled over your blog at one time or another. I am not new to creativity, but certainly am new to it's blogging world.



I am a wife, mother, and teacher and love to spend my free time dreaming big dreams and creating small things. It wasn't too long ago that my husband and I bought our first home while expecting our first child. One of the best decisions we made back then was to only fill our home with meaningful things. Ever since then, I have spent every decorating bone in my body moving, crafting, building, painting and hanging happy things all over our tiny house.

In order to know me better, allow me to introduce my beautiful little family (our blog):

Matt, my husband, is incredibly patient and understanding. One of my biggest crafting faults is my impatience. This has lead to many paint stains on the dining room table as well as many, many stray nail holes throughout the house. Each and every time, Matt just shakes his head and says "Next time, just wait." (I think he knows as well as I do that 'next time,' I won't.)



Laurelei, my daughter, is a 15 month old spitfire. She is the inspiration of a lifetime. No matter what she is up too, she makes me want to be better at everything.



That's all for now folks. Stop by this Thursday and all those that follow to see what I've been up too. Here is a little preview of what you might find...

  1. I found your blog quite by accident and was instantly fascinated as I am a Patrice also! I love the concept of the guest blogging, no one will get too "blogged down". Love al of your projects that you showed us. especially the padded headboard, so great looking. Hope to drop by again and see what you and all the other friends have been up to.
