Amy's Notebook: 10.12.07


Make a pretty lunch box.

These before and after photos on these kitchen cabinets are really motivating me. Now I just need to convince my husband to go along with another painting project around here.

Make some homemade vanilla extract.

I think this Pumpkin Biscotti would make a great holiday gift.

Never look at your leftovers the same again with Stephanie's great advice!

How cute are these Halloween tins?

Learn the rules of frugality!

Stay warm (practically) for free.

Buy some blackboard paint and make some really cute stuff for your house.

Throw the best autumn party ever!

Wrap your gifts elegantly.

"Amy the makeover on those cabinets were easy to do, I and my daughter did ours the same way last spring, we did ours trimmed in white and the inside panels a hunter green. We bought inexpensive plain white hardware and they look great. We cheated though we spray painted ours as we have a sprayer. Made things go a lot faster.

"Great links this week Amy! Thanks!

I am going to try and find some black board paint to make labels on some dry goods. We've been switching out to all glass storage containers 'cause I'm kinda wary of plastic any more. Old canning jars look really pretty too!"

"Amy I love the makeover for the cabinets. It is so fresh looking and the colors are wonderful! Question for you - Can you paint a tired old counter top!! I can't afford a new one so any help would be greatly appreciated. Maybe others who visit your blog can help too. Thanks for any and all help."
