Today I am featuring the home tour of Gemma from the blog <a href="http://thesweetestdigs.com/">The Sweetest Digs</a>. Here is what she said when asked what she loves most about her home,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>"Maybe it's just because of its small size, but what I love most about our home is just how cozy and welcoming it is from the second you walk through the front door. It feels lived in, warm, and like it's beckoning you to have a cup of tea snuggled on the couch by the window. The house gives me a big hug when I come in, and I can totally feel the love inside our walls."</i></div>

Fall is a really welcome season if you decorate on a shoestring budget. There are so many beautiful and interesting things that you can gather outside to use for decor inside. Honestly, I think decorating with help from nature is more rewarding in the fall than any other season. Unlike the flowers of spring and summer that fade pretty quickly in a vase, nature's bounty in the autumn months is a little more hardy. Pumpkins, gourds, acorns, and mums can last for many days indoors. It's nice to set up a display with them knowing that you'll be able to enjoy it for more than a day or two.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of my favorite things to decorate for Fall is the tabletop. I love being able to have a pretty tablescape to start off our Thanksgiving feast. This year, I'm appointing myself the official table setter for our family celebration. And I've found plenty of inspiration using nature's own beauty to get me started as I plan what our table will look like. Enjoy!</div>

It could be that I have been editing these images. I have to admit, that I am I home body so I don't mind it getting dark early, but with kids who love to be outside, I am a little bummed about the change in seasons and losing an hour of daylight REALLY makes a big difference! </p> <p style="text-align:justify">The other day we were at Target, and on the way out we remembered that we needed some cereal. So we ran over to see what was available. And we discovered all their awesome Archer Farms Granolas. I am not a huge fan of granola, but my husband LOVES it. And I will admit that I was even taken in by all the great flavors, we bought like 6 different kinds.</p> <p style="text-align:justify">We took them home and have been enjoying them ever since, one box had a great recipe on the back. And try it, I did! These are GREAT cookie bars! They have it all, super easy to make, chocolate, they're chewy and they are crunchy… I tell you they have it all!</p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://www.remodelaholic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Raspberry-Granola-Bar-Cookies-Recipe2.jpg"><img style="background-image:none;padding-left:0px;padding-right:0px;display:block;float:none;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;padding-top:0px;border:0px" title="Raspberry Granola Bar Cookies Recipe2" src="http://www.remodelaholic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Raspberry-Granola-Bar-Cookies-Recipe2_thumb.jpg" alt="Raspberry Granola Bar Cookies Recipe2" width="404" height="604" border="0"></a></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="text-decoration:underline"><strong><span style="font-size:x-large">Raspberry Granola Bar Cookies</span></strong></span></p> <p><strong> Ingredients:</strong></p> <p>1 cup all-purpose flour</p> <p>1/4 cup sugar</p> <p>6 Tbsp. butter, at room temp (it called for 1/2 cup but I used less)</p> <p>1/2 cup raspberry jam or preserves (I had strawberry on hand, and it worked just fine)</p> <p>1 cup granola of your choice (plain or Archer Farms Raspberry Crème Brulee Granola is great!)</p> <p>1/2 cup chocolate chips</p> <p><strong> Instructions:</strong></p> <p>1.

I wanted to send you all a quick note to say Happy Thanksgiving and thank you so much for reading the blog. It means a lot to have your support! And since it is Thanksgiving Day here in the states… I thought it would be fun to each mention a few things that we are all thankful for.<br />
<a href="http://www.remodelaholic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Cassity.jpg"><img alt="Cassity" border="0" height="337" src="http://www.remodelaholic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Cassity_thumb.jpg" style="background-image: none; border: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="Cassity" width="504" /></a><br />
My daughters, my daughters, my daughters…. Oh how I love them. They are such funny little characters. They know what they want and they going after those things. I love how they teach me. I love how they help me to want to be a better person and especially be a better mother. I love watching my husband play with my girls. There is nothing as beautiful as a loving, supportive and FUN father. Life with them is such a gift.<br />
This year I am so thankful to be near our extended family. It has been almost 8 years since we have had a family thanksgiving, and while I will admit it is almost easier to just have my own little dinner with my small family, I am so excited to just be with our family. I LOVE to talk with and see all our extended family. I love watching my daughters meet their cousins, and see them excited to be their friends and hearing them jabber on about hanging out with them. I love my siblings, I want my children to have those same feelings toward these people that mean so much to me.<br />
I remember when I became an aunt at the ripe age of 12 how excited I was about that sweet little baby, and how much I learned to love those children. It made me realize what a gift I had in my own Aunts and Uncles. I LOVE being part of a big family, I hope my children get to experience those same feelings.<br />
I am thankful for our new home. I always love a new project. I am thankful for the comfort I feel here so quickly. I am loving all the little victories we are making, be in organizing our TINY closet, to knowing where something is.<br />
I am thankful for the gospel of Jesus Christ and the hope and joy it brings to my life.<br />
<a href="http://www.remodelaholic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Justin.jpg"><img alt="Justin" border="0" height="337" src="http://www.remodelaholic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Justin_thumb.jpg" style="background-image: none; border: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="Justin" width="504" /></a><br />
I am very grateful for many things, but especially my family. I have the best wife in the world, that has made it possible for me to be working from home with her, on our many awesome projects. Cassity is the love of my life. I am glade that I have her in my life to live and learn together.<br />
I love my children very, very much. Etta is such a joy. I love to here her sing and to see her dance. Etta is so smart and funny. Lydia is so darn cute. She is so fun to play with. It is fun to see her learning and developing her own little personality. <br />
I can't forget my little kitty, Cleocatra. She is getting old in her years. I hope that she is with us many more years to come.<br />
I am grateful for my parents and the wonderful examples that they are to me. They raised me in a good home centered in the gospel of Jesus Christ. It is good to be back near them, to see them more often and for them to love and care for my children the way they love me.<br />
One last thing that I am thankful for, are good power tools. And a plus to that is a awesome wife that sees and understands the need for good power tools to get the job done right. I love working on projects with the right tools. It makes it more fun to do.<br />
<a href="http://www.remodelaholic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Etta.jpg"><img alt="Etta" border="0" height="337" src="http://www.remodelaholic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Etta_thumb.jpg" style="background-image: none; border: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="Etta" width="504" /></a><br />
I asked Etta to tell me 5 things she was thankful for. These are her exact answers in order of what she said: Jesus, Mommy, Daddy, Chrissy (her babysitter), Uncle Vono, LY-DI –A (said in a whisper all long and drawn out), Spiders, Kendyl (our friend's daughter), Lydia (screamed really loudly!), a penny (she saw a penny not sure if this came out voluntarily, but it was sort of funny!), Grandma, Etta, Grandpa<br />
<a href="http://www.remodelaholic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/IMG_2010.jpg"><img alt="IMG_2010" border="0" height="337" src="http://www.remodelaholic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/IMG_2010_thumb.jpg" style="background-image: none; border: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="IMG_2010" width="504" /></a><br />
Lately Lydia starts all her prayers with a list of things she is thankful for, it usually involves her listing each family member and then it spreads to what she sees around the room, and it often includes Mickey Mouse (from her favorite book that we read a few times daily). This morning she was thankful for syrup, and who wouldn't be thankful for that especially when you are eating pancakes. When I asked her what she was thankful for this is what she said: "B" (her blanket) Etta, Etta, Etta, Lydia, Etta, Opa, Oma (Grandpa and Grandma), Etta, me, Mickey Mouse, doggie, Mickey. This girl LOVES her big sister, and I know the feeling is mutual!<br />

Happy Thanksgiving, I hope that no matter what hard things may be going on in our lives that we can take a few minutes to think about our blessing and what we do have!<span style="text-align: center;"> </span><br />

Okay so I showed you this week how we installed our <a href="http://www.remodelaholic.com/2012/11/installing-wood-mantel/">new rustic wood fireplace mantel</a> and the awesome little <a href="http://www.remodelaholic.com/2012/11/ampersand-cutout-sign/">ampersand cutout sign</a> project. Now I have the rest of that particular craft to go with it. It all started when I saw this <a href="http://pinterest.com/Remodelaholic/">on Pinterest</a>, from <a href="http://www.thelovelycupboard.com/2011/11/my-metallic-mantle-and-olde-world.html">the Lovely Cupboard</a>.</div>

I loved the snowflake art and it reminded me a of table I saw on a HGTV home show a million years ago. So, I thought I would make my own version. I got what I needed at an office store and a crafts store.</div>

2 Large Foam core boards</div>

This was so fast, easy and kid friendly. Etta had a lot of fun helping me. We loaded one edge/side of the canvas with silver foil stickers and then slowly let them fade out, (like a falling snow) I added some gems to change the size up a bit and make it even more blingy.</div>

Next, I started off too lazy to go find my Silhouette in storage (I learned from this mistake, quickly). So I printed out the text "MERRY BRIGHT" to the proper size on some regular paper. Then I followed the steps below to transfer the text to my paper. </div>

Okay, so there was only one major problem when I was done. The color of scrapbook paper I used was so light and reflective, that you couldn't see it very well. Which meant I needed to cut it out again. At this point, I wasn't going to go through the hand cutting process that I just finished… I started over with my silhouette machine and it only took about 2 minutes. I kid you not and that includes opening the box and setting up. (Insert head smack here- dope!)</div>
<div align="justify">
I just glued the newly cut words onto the bottom of the foam core boards. and I was done! Easy and cute! The <a href="http://www.remodelaholic.com/2012/11/ampersand-cutout-sign/">ampersand cutout</a> sits in front of the two boards.</div>

It's time for another edition of Remodelaholic's Color Files. Today, I'm featuring some of the best paint colors for walls and furnishings that are in the lightest shades of blue. Blue is one of nature's favorite colors, appearing more in the great outdoors than any other color.</div>
<div align="center">
<a href="http://www.remodelaholic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Blue-Nature-Collage.png"><img alt="Blue Nature Collage" border="0" height="159" src="http://www.remodelaholic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Blue-Nature-Collage_thumb.png" style="background-image: none; border: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="Blue Nature Collage" width="624" /></a></div>
<div align="center">
Blue is the ultimate "cool" color when it comes to color temperatures. Light blue is considered to be one of the most calming colors, making it a favorite for bedrooms. It's also a color that marketing gurus have determined to be the one that gives the best impression of being clean, which means it's a great choice for hardworking rooms like kitchens, laundry rooms, and bathrooms. Some of the very lightest shades of blue are considered to be neutrals in home décor, since these work really well paired up with just about any other color. And light blue is one of those pale colors that, when painted on the walls, can actually make small rooms look bigger.</div>
<div align="center">
I hope you'll find some inspiration in this collection of light blue paint colors being used in real rooms. Already got a favorite hue of baby blue? Share it with us in the comments!</div>

Happy Pie For Breakfast Day, friends! Do you see what I did there? I made it official, which means that you need not feel any regret that you may have innocently come upon a lonely wedge of leftover pie in the fridge this morning, and before you knew it, before you could responsibly hash out the pros and cons of setting your day to the tune of pie, and not, say, a muesli, fresh fruit and herbal tea detox, you in fact did have pie for breakfast and it was <i>wonderful</i>. You need not feel any regret because it's a holiday, and it was important that you joined in the celebration. You were only doing your part.

And now that we got that out of the way, I bet you could go for a salad. No, not a Salad of Thanksgiving Repentance; that would be rather dull. It might include wheat germ, and it's too soon for all of that. I firmly believe that on the road from total overindulgence to the kind of mood that leads to my gym being jam-packed with Resolutes on January 1st, there should be some in-between. A salad, yes, one with several whole and wholesome ingredients, but also one that you look forward to eating because it in fact tastes amazing. And for that, I nominate this one. It comes with a warm bacon vinaigrette and old-school vibe. It's not even a little sorry.<br />

This is one of my all time favorite lines, I first heard it a few years ago and loved it. A reminder that we don't need to be perfect, imperfections make us more real and add character.

I'm excited to share some cute new snowman cake pops with you guys today. I made them for my friend Betty. As in Crocker. As in cra-zee!<br />
I was asked to create a holiday-inspired cake pop project to be included in this year's, <a href="http://www.bettycrocker.com/redhot">The Betty 10: Red Hot Holiday Trends</a> where Betty Crocker features ideas and recipes to inspire your holiday festivities. Hey, that rhymed. They were just announced earlier this week and the trends look fantastic.<br />
<a href="http://www.bettycrocker.com/redhot"><img alt="" height="648" src="http://www.bakerella.com/images/2012/11/Untitled-2.jpg" title="Red Hot Holidays" width="700" /></a><br />
Anyway… Eeeek! Of course I said yes. And I hope my Granny is smiling right now. She would be so proud to see me hanging out with Betty and probably pretty surprised that I bake … (And eat pecans, too).<br />
You may recognize these little snowman heads. They were inspired by these snowmen <a href="http://www.bakerella.com/gingerbreads-heads/">gingerbread head cookies</a> I made last year. I love 'em and kinda wish I had made them earlier … like in time to include in the holiday book I have out now. That's ok, there's another cute snowman in there. Snowmen are fun because you can really change up their look so many ways with hats, scarves, bodies, heads, earmuffs, color and candy. <a href="http://www.bakerella.com/snowman-cake-pops/">Frosty, too!</a><br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bakerella/8204065425/" title="Cake Pops by Bakerella, on Flickr"><img alt="Cake Pops" height="500" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8058/8204065425_31f552892f_o.jpg" width="700" /></a><br />
To get started I used crumbled white cake. The finer the crumbs the smoother the cake ball base you will have when you dip. Also, using light color cakes with white candy coating will make it less likely that the cake color will show through the candy.<br />
The coating in this picture is Mercken's Super White. Super fluid by the way.<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bakerella/8205156858/" title="Snowman by Bakerella, on Flickr"><img alt="Snowman" height="500" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8209/8205156858_ea0f663c3c_o.jpg" width="700" /></a><br />
Right after you dip, insert an orange coated sunflower seed for a carrot nose and let dry.<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bakerella/8205156932/" title="Snowman by Bakerella, on Flickr"><img alt="Snowman" height="500" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8345/8205156932_c81d4c513d_o.jpg" width="700" /></a><br />
Then dip the top in a second color and before it dries, sprinkle with white sanding sugar.<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bakerella/8204065603/" title="Snowman Cake Pop by Bakerella, on Flickr"><img alt="Snowman Cake Pop" height="500" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8202/8204065603_23ce8e9a71_o.jpg" width="700" /></a><br />
When that dries, dot on more coating around the perimeter of the hat color with a toothpick and sprinkle again with sanding sugar.<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bakerella/8205157026/" title="Snowman Cap by Bakerella, on Flickr"><img alt="Snowman Cap" height="500" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8202/8205157026_c9c729095b_o.jpg" width="700" /></a><br />
Before it all dries, use the toothpick to help define indentions for a sweet little cap.<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bakerella/8204065711/" title="Snowman Cake Pop by Bakerella, on Flickr"><img alt="Snowman Cake Pop" height="500" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8340/8204065711_c053685838_o.jpg" width="700" /></a><br />
Or you can use a toothpick to apply a big band of white coating.<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bakerella/8204065805/" title="Snowman Cap by Bakerella, on Flickr"><img alt="Snowman Cap" height="500" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8481/8204065805_5ff4a0d530_o.jpg" width="700" /></a><br />
And sprinkle with white sanding sugar for a two-tone cap.<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bakerella/8205158078/" title="Sprinkles and candy by Bakerella, on Flickr"><img alt="Sprinkles and candy" height="500" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8483/8205158078_768b233cf6_o.jpg" width="700" /></a><br />
When the pops dry, use more sprinkles or candy to decorate using candy coating as glue.<br />
Black confetti sprinkles make great eyes made out of coal.<br />
Pastel pink confetti sprinkles make sweet cheeks.<br />
Jumbo snowflakes to top off the caps.<br />
And I hear Tic Tacs make great ear muffs. I used these for the color but you can easily swap it out for M&M's or another similar candy.<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bakerella/8204066833/" title="Edible Ink pen by Bakerella, on Flickr"><img alt="Edible Ink pen" height="500" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8059/8204066833_65f0945b59_o.jpg" width="700" /></a><br />
Dot or draw on sweet smiles with a black edible ink pen like Americolor.<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bakerella/8205157940/" title="Sweet Snowmen by Bakerella, on Flickr"><img alt="Sweet Snowmen" height="500" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8062/8205157940_60fa2eca71_o.jpg" width="700" /></a><br />
Big smile! Say freeze.<br />

I could write a whole book on this subject (don't panic I will be brief) creating a fab living room is easy easy easy if you follow a few guide lines. So lets start with your current furniture arrangement does it work or do you feel it could do with a lift? Moving furniture around and changing its position by the way is exactly like giving a room a face lift it freshens, it enlivens and it wakes a room up. If your room is small (or large) try not to butt the furniture right up against the wall around the permimeter, you'll need to break it up with something a super skinny shelf, a console anything that you can layer up to distract the eye from the space looking bijou or too large, plus as I say a zillion times more layers more interest.<br />
Whether your space is dark and sludgy like mine or bright and white like … (trying to think of a nice word here) never mind, I can't so bright and white lets just say, adding colour, small shots, large doses will take the space to another level. Colour is intoxicating particularly if you can go off radar with your selection, electric blue, saffron yellow, burnt orange anyone? In the store we have the most amazing selection of flowers in the most beautiful hot pinks, oranges and reds, plonk a few of those on a mantle piece and suddenly wham bam your space has gained a few style ratings! Lighting is key – no down lights on walls please the light is too unflattering – think table lamps, floor lamps, pendants that sort of thing oh and if possible try not to match to much. I'm talking lighting, furniture, cushions the more you mismatch the more intriguing a space becomes. Yes its harder much harder than matching but you're interior will thank you for it. Rugs are great for adding another dimension, top tip try if possible try to go for something patterned, pattern and texture are the herbs and spices of the decorating world they add pizazz something in a solid colour can and often does look flat.<br />

I'm loving all these subtle shades of greys and neutrals which are perfect for creating a moody winter setting. I think it's a great idea to embrace the coming season and do a bit a change around in your home as you would do in your wardrobe. Invest in some chunky, textured throws and drape them over chairs or sofas, ready for a chilly night. And why not bring a bit of winter nature inside and create an interesting floral display with some bare branches. Are you doing any redecorating for the season ahead? <br />

Where have I been, you ask? Did I fly off to a <a href="http://smittenkitchen.com/2012/03/multigrain-apple-crisps/">small Caribbean island</a> again, only to return to rub it in? Did my <a href="http://smittenkitchen.com/book/">book project</a> or <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/smitten/6837195826/">adorable distraction</a> eat me alive again? For once, no. I have actually been out climbing another (<a href="http://smittenkitchen.com/2012/02/lasagna-bolognese/">slightly smaller</a>) culinary Mount Everest for you, and I have returned bearing not one, but two recipes. <br />

I've been wanting to make potato knish almost as long as I've had this site. I thought I'd finally tackle it this winter, when carbs-for-warmth are the order of the day but New York up and decided to not have a winter this year and so it was a 60 degree day or never. I'm glad I went with it as knish are quintessentially old New York, brought to the Lower East Side tenements by Jewish Eastern European immigrants who knew, like most of our forefathers did, how to stretch staples into belly-filling delights. <br />

If I could have a breakfast rallying cry, a breakfast mantra, if you will, it would be, <i>It's not cake! It's breakfast!</i> It would be rather dull, naturally. I know that the line between Cake For Breakfast and our various formats of Breakfast Cakes (<a href="http://smittenkitchen.com/recipes/#Muffin">muffins</a>, <a href="http://smittenkitchen.com/recipes/#Everyday">coffee cakes</a> and <a href="http://smittenkitchen.com/recipes/#Pancakes">pancakes</a>) is thin, I know the distinctions on either side of it are, at best, tiny, but they are what allows me to pretend I'm eating cake for breakfast when I'm really not, so I cling to them. <br />

I said as much a few weeks ago when I made <a href="http://smittenkitchen.com/2012/02/double-coconut-muffins/">coconut muffins</a>. Oh sure, they're like a glorified macaroon, but! a macaroon full of healthy oils and Greek yogurt and whole wheat flour and a moderate level of sugar. They win at breakfast. Cake, 0, Breakfast 1, you could say. But when I spotted a recipe for carrot cake pancakes, replete with what we all know is the very best part of carrot cake, a sweetened cream cheese topping, I said, "No way, uh-uh. Carrot cake is dessert, not breakfast."<br />

I must say that being in NYC is nothing less than energizing as my head is spinning with ideas and I feel very excited about the road ahead of me since I've been able to build out some ideas since coming here last week. I'm in New York until Sunday night, tomorrow I begin working with <a href="http://www.debitreloar.com/" target="_blank">Debi Treloar</a>, but for the first half of my trip I was with <a href="http://acreativemint.typepad.com/" target="_blank">Leslie Shewring</a> working on our class called the <a href="http://decor8blog.com/byw/" target="_blank">Blogging Your Way</a> Road Trip.</p><p><a title="Road trip by decor8, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/decor8/6815753138/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7046/6815753138_8e961bbd61.jpg" alt="Road trip" width="500" height="375"></a></p><p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p85/decor8blog/6a00d8341c7dce53ef0168e87ddddb970c-pi.jpg" alt=""></p><p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p85/decor8blog/6a00d8341c7dce53ef016302883528970d-pi.jpg" alt=""></p><p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p85/decor8blog/6a00d8341c7dce53ef01630288351b970d-pi.jpg" alt=""></p><p>For those of you familiar with <a href="http://decor8blog.com/byw/" target="_blank">Blogging Your Way</a>, it is a class I founded three years ago online as a virtual workshop that takes place a few times each year and it is where I teach, along with my friend and biz partner Leslie, about taking a creative approach to blogging, photography, styling and many other topics that relate to all of that. Our goal is that once you learn the technical aspects of blogging in those dummies guides, you'll come to us to learn the creative and fun stuff. Of course, we teach some nuts and bolts too about copyright law, how to deal with copycats and template ideas but over all our approach is that if blogging is looked upon as less of an exercise of writing and more as a creative pursuit, your time online will count more and you'll reach more people. I believe strongly in using your blog as a catalyst to live your best life, meaning let the blog motivate you to do things that you love so you can then turn around and share them with your readers. Your blog should be a motivator, not a chore.<br> <img class="aligncenter" src="http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p85/decor8blog/6a00d8341c7dce53ef0163028834ae970d-pi.jpg" alt=""></p><p><a title="Road trip by decor8, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/decor8/6961870551/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7209/6961870551_8b74a46cf0.jpg" alt="Road trip" width="500" height="375"></a></p><p><a title="BYW Road Trip by decor8, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/decor8/6815601040/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7182/6815601040_d2c3c64186.jpg" alt="BYW Road Trip" width="500" height="500"></a></p><p><a title="BYW Road Trip by decor8, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/decor8/6961716643/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7182/6961716643_835a722e34.jpg" alt="BYW Road Trip" width="500" height="500"></a></p><p><a title="BYW Road Trip by decor8, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/decor8/6815600594/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7179/6815600594_6b00eac8fe.jpg" alt="BYW Road Trip" width="500" height="500"></a></p><p><a title="BYW Road Trip by decor8, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/decor8/6961716603/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7050/6961716603_4101e9886e.jpg" alt="BYW Road Trip" width="500" height="500"></a></p><p>When I thought about teaching this class offline I wondered often how it would translate but after this weekend I can tell that it translated quite well! I felt very honored to be among so many talented and creative woman on both Saturday and Sunday, some flew in as far as London for our workshop and others from Seattle, Kentucky, Ohio, Boston, D.C., it was quite amazing really. Leslie, who taught the class too, was amazing in her execution of her materials previously taught online through our class. Taking all of that material offline to teach hands-on was exciting for me to see her do so effortlessly and very well. She rocked it and if you were at the class I am sure you will agree with me. Saturday was more of an intense learning session and Sunday was more about interacting and moving around the room – working hands on.</p><p><a title="BYW Road Trip by decor8, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/decor8/6961716419/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7189/6961716419_5245cbb1c4.jpg" alt="BYW Road Trip" width="500" height="500"></a></p><p><a title="BYW Road Trip by decor8, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/decor8/6815600372/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7068/6815600372_8bded28bbd.jpg" alt="BYW Road Trip" width="500" height="500"></a></p><p><a title="BYW Road Trip by decor8, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/decor8/6815600436/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7041/6815600436_18c48ca5a5.jpg" alt="BYW Road Trip" width="500" height="500"></a></p><p>Overall, I felt the class gave students something very special in a small learning environment that just isn't offered that often out there – most classes as huge or part of conferences and while those are great – many of our students commented that they preferred working in and learning with smaller more "niche" groups and this is exactly what Leslie and I were shooting for – to provide our students with a very special learning environment where they could work closely with us and one another.</p><p><a title="Road trip by decor8, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/decor8/6815753476/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7204/6815753476_012199945b.jpg" alt="Road trip" width="500" height="375"></a></p><p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p85/decor8blog/6a00d8341c7dce53ef0167637cad09970b-pi.jpg" alt=""></p><p><a title="BYW Road Trip by decor8, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/decor8/6961716771/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7200/6961716771_e481cb282b.jpg" alt="BYW Road Trip" width="500" height="500"></a></p><p><a title="BYW Road Trip by decor8, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/decor8/6961716817/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7189/6961716817_bea09b6ee3.jpg" alt="BYW Road Trip" width="500" height="500"></a></p><p>I've been teaching and lecturing for 15 years and same with <a href="http://acreativemint.typepad.com/" target="_blank">Leslie</a>, but this was a very special weekend and we enjoyed taking BYW offline and hope our students did too.

I also must thank Paul Lowe from <a href="http://sweetpaul.typepad.com/" target="_blank">Sweet Paul </a>for being an inspirational drop-in guest on Sunday – his message was, "Just keep blogging, you never know where it can take you". With his online magazine about to become a print version sold exclusively at <a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/" target="_blank">Anthropologie</a> stores, he is a stellar example of someone talented who was able to find their voice and audience through blogging. I must also thank my publisher, <a href="http://www.chroniclebooks.com/" target="_blank">Chronicle Books</a> (Peter and Lorraine!!!) for supplying our students with lovely notebooks from Jill Bliss, Rifle Paper and for sending out the French General books for our students on Sunday.</p><p><a title="BYW Road Trip by decor8, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/decor8/6815600762/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7062/6815600762_01296ae428.jpg" alt="BYW Road Trip" width="500" height="500"></a></p><p>THANK YOU STUDENTS for coming out to meet us and spend time learning together – we hope so much that you enjoyed it and will forever remember this road trip – it was wonderful!!!!!</p><p>xo, Holly</p><p>(images: those watermarked: <a href="http://mirrormirror.typepad.com/" target="_blank">mirror mirror</a> and in out blogger <a href="http://thefrenchimport.blogspot.com/2012/03/inspired.html" target="_blank">audrey smit</a>, all others by holly becker)</p> <hr><b>Please note: daily news and quicklinks are excluded from the RSS feed.

I started to put together one of <a href="http://makingitlovely.com/category/columns/lets-columns/">my "Let's" posts</a>, but there were so many styles that I wanted to get to and I couldn't fit them all in without it getting crazy! So I've decided to split the post into a miniseries of lighting roundups, and I'll show how to mix and match them at the end.</p><p>First up are the Sputnik inspired chandeliers. The fifth one here isn't a perfect fit with the others, but it's so amazing that I had to include it anyway (and I think it's at home with the rest).</p><p><a href="http://pinterest.com/makingitlovely/light-up-my-life/" title="Pinterest" target="_blank"><img src="http://makingitlovely.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/FindTheseonPinterest.png" alt="" title="Find These on Pinterest" width="180" height="180" class="alignright size-full wp-image-15687"></a> </p><ol> <li><p><a href="http://www.shadesoflight.com/modern-amber-bubble-chandelier.html" target="_blank">Modern Amber Bubble Chandelier</a>, $565</p> </li> <li><p><a href="http://www.shadesoflight.com/small-sputnik-chandelier-6-lt..html" target="_blank">Small Sputnik Chandelier</a>, $259</p> </li> <li><p><a href="http://www.dwr.com/product/satellite-chandelier.do?sortby=ourPicks" target="_blank">Satellite Chandelier</a>, $1325</p> </li> <li><p><a href="http://www.shadesoflight.com/sputnik-chandelier-12-lt.html" target="_blank">Sputnik Chandelier</a>, $359</p> </li> <li><p><a href="http://www.dwr.com/product/modo-chandelier-3-sided-10-globe.do?sortby=ourPicks" target="_blank">Modo Chandelier (3-Sided)</a>, $3800</p> </li> </ol> <small><em><p>No related posts.</p></em></small><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/makingitlovely?a=g2r-L4nXeRs:kMBzHk1F9nA:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/makingitlovely?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/makingitlovely?a=g2r-L4nXeRs:kMBzHk1F9nA:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/makingitlovely?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/makingitlovely?a=g2r-L4nXeRs:kMBzHk1F9nA:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/makingitlovely?i=g2r-L4nXeRs:kMBzHk1F9nA:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/makingitlovely/~4/g2r-L4nXeRs?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email" height="1" width="1"></div> </td> </tr> </tbody></table> </div></div></blockquote></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-size: medium; "><div><br></div></span><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"> </div> <br>lizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11255350389194623707noreply@blogger.com0
