Monday Madness – Families Are Forever Vinyl



Ummm yep I am a day late on Monday Madness.  I wish I had some really good excuse, like my son was in a terrible four wheeling accident and was badly hurt (that was two weeks ago), or that my baby scratched his cornea and his eye was red and swollen shut (that was last week).  But to be honest… I am just lame.  Last night I stuck my nose in a book thinking I’ll just read the first chapter and get a feel for the book than I’ll get to work…weeeelllllll I didn’t stop reading until about 3:00 am *yawn*.  It felt so good to get completely absorbed in a story.  It’s been so  long since I have done that.  Between the four kids, a husband, the dog, church callings, running my own business…well you get the picture….there’s not a lot of down time in my life.  I am sure you can relate (:  I have been trying to play catch up ever since!!
Any way on with the deal.

Monday Madness – Life is Beautiful Home Accent Vinyl 50% off


Adding different shapes into your decor can be a clever way to add some variation.  Circles just happen to be one of my favorite shapes to play with.  You may not realize it, but I bet you love circles too, just think about it . . .clocks, wreaths, pancakes, what’s not to love?  Am I right? 

Today’s Monday Madness offers another unique way to take a step away from the standard rectangle and square shaped vinyl sayings and add some diversity to your walls with a circle shaped design.  With a design that just happens to be one of my all time favorite sayings “Life is Beautiful”. (The perks of being the designer…you can use things you love). This vinyl piece is offered in beige, black, charcoal, and chocolate.  Of course we can always cut custom colors upon request.  It is 18” in diameter. 

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL VINYL - – Reg priced at $16.95, sale price $8.47.

One More Sidewalk Sale Announcement – Personal items also for sale


I am not sure if all of this Sidewalk Sale propaganda is getting you excited about this awsome once a year sale, or if you are starting to feel like, okay we get it your having a sale!  Hopefully it is the first option.  BUT even at the risk of going over board we wanted to let you know that besides just the great sales (I will post a reminder of all the sales later tonight), AND all the cheap and awsome clearance items, Kim and I have also spent some time cleaning out our own homes and will have some fun little treats and treasures for sale.
Below are a few of the more impressive items.  I am totally willing to ship these items as well if anyone wants to email me at hollym@poppyseedprojects.com before the sale to claim them.

Pottery Barn Kids Bradly Twin: Set of two quilts and two shams - $95.00.  Set of 1 Sham and 1 Quilt - $55.00

There is a very small bleach spot on the corner of one of the blankets, but honestly I had to search for forever to even find it again.  They have also faded a tiny bit from washing, but not even enough that you would notice.  Other than that they are in absolute perfect condition.  I also have the matching shams for both.  I am willing to sell the blankets separately, but I would like to keep the blanket and there matching shames together as a set.

Free Spring Chalk Board Art Printable


I love Spring!  Really who doesn’t?  But I think if you live in a snowy area like Ut. where the weather is at best chaotic you have a special appreciation for Spring.  When the tulips and grape hyacinthia’s start to bloom….
Spring Flowers

….my heart just feel lighter and I start to get in decorating mode.  Yes I said decorating mode.  Nothing inspires me to liven things up like Spring.  Last year I shared a popular post on Tips and Tricks for Decorating for Spring.  This year I’ve already shared the Top Five Spring Projects , but I thought I would also share a free Chalk Board Spring printable with you.  This is also one of the projects that we did during the craft class we taught at Snap this year.
