Ummm..wow! Thanks for all your kind comments about my room yesterday. Some of them made me laugh pretty good. Thanks!!

It is that time of the month for my contributor posts over on Design*Sponge and Design Aglow. For those of you new (and old) to my blog you might be wondering how I ended up being a contributor on those two amazing sites….well I ask myself that every month too. I figure I’ll enjoy it until they are done with me!
On Design Aglow I am posting a tutorial for creating a vacation shadowbox
On Design*Sponge I am sharing how to create a custom stencil, like what I used on my sub-floors.











Shannon - I caught the design aglow post yesterday in my feeds and scrolled quickly throught without reading, and immediately starred it to come back and read later, not knowing it was yours! I should have known! You have such great style that even without knowing the author I was enamored by the project! Can’t wait to save some mementos from our summer trips this year to make my own!
giozi - I saw design aglow yesterday and I loved your tutorial. Fantastic.
Mallory @ R. Simple Life - Oooh, I’m excited for the custom stencil how-to! I’ve been wanting to create one for a wall in my office but was unsure how to go about it!
hearttypat - the things you do! you’re just too creative! that shadowbox looks good! u managed to cut out the letters and include the subjects in the pictures as well!

amy - i was just making a little shadow box for my kitchen with a couple of recipe cards and a “cake tester” that belonged to my grandma but wasn’t quite happy with how it turned out. i love yours and your little beaker things–i’m thinking that’s what i need for some flour, sugar, etc for my box. love this ashley!
