Beautiful, easy and done in less than 10 minutes! You could use any kind of stone! DIY Stone Embellished Napkin Rings

Semi-Winning The Tablescape Game: DIY Stone Embellished Napkin Rings

November 3, 2015 By Jenna 16 Comments

I am not a tablescape person.

To be blunt, I suck at them.

It’s just too much thinking – there are too many things that have to be on a set table for me to also figure out what to use as a centerpiece, place cards, etc.

Now, doing one of those things solo without having to think of all the other jazz – I’m good.

Like last year – I had really cute, or really cute in my opinion anyway, also cheap, little painted pumpkins that doubled as place card holders.

And this year, I’m rocking one single element of the tablescape – the napkin and napkin ring.

Now, just let me say this is not too frou-frou. I’m not a frou-frou person and frou-frou just stresses me out. So if you were expecting a perfectly color coordinated full place setting to go along with that napkin and ring, I’m not your girl.

However, if you want pretty stone embellished napkin rings (done in under 10 minutes), then I’m totally your girl. 😉

Headband Holder - great for storage - Rain on a Tin Roof

DIY Headband Holder for $5

August 3, 2015 By Jenna 12 Comments

Remember our Aunt Rochelle?

The aunt that you wanted for yourself?

The one who sends the circus ensembles complete with matching shirts, pants, dresses, cardigans and even sunglasses.

Well, that amazing Aunt Rochelle, she also sends headbands to match every single outfit she’s ever bought for the circus.

She’s pretty much any little fashionista’s dream.

She is 100% the reason why the kid wins best dressed at preschool every year.

Well, there really isn’t an award for that, but if there was, she’d have it in the bag.

While the circus will wear, and love, every shirt, shorts, dress, sunglasses and everything else Aunt Rochelle sends, she isn’t always a fan of the headbands.

So I had a brilliant idea when I made her dress-up station.

I would also make a DIY headband holder so the circus would easily spot her headbands and in theory, want to wear them.

Made from a $1 rubber snake! DIY Snake Bud Vase

DIY Snake Bud Vase (Snake Haters, Avert Your Eyes)

January 22, 2015 By Jenna 26 Comments

The Golden Snake Bowl.

That was fine with me.

Because I love it.

And even if you did hate it, you totally have to give me an A+ for creativity.

I mean, I took a rubber snake and made it into a bowl.

That has to count for something.

While I was melting snakes into bowls, I also melted one into a bud vase.

You read right – a Snake Bud Vase.

6 Creative and Easy Ways to Document Memories

December 23, 2014 By Jenna 16 Comments

When the kid started talking, she would answer “Sure” instead of “Yes.” Example:

Kid (screaming): “Emonade, emonade, emonade!”

Me (about to lose my sh*t): “Would you like some lemonade?!”

Kid (very nonchalantly, as if she wasn’t just screaming for it: “Sure.”

She now says “Yes” more than “Sure,” which I know is the way things are supposed to go, but it does make me just a little sad.

My point is, I’m always terrified I will forget those little things.

I’m also worried about forgetting Grunt Labor’s ways of saying I Love You, like “You’re the thin set to my tile.”

(Where does he come up with this stuff?)

And the time Will asked if this was Jesus music on the radio.

I mean, it is Garth Brooks, he’s kind of like the Jesus of country music, people.

And then there was the time Grandma told the kid (at the age of 1), “Its amazing how advanced you are. Its also unfortunate.”

Truer words were never spoken.

So, to keep up with all those sweet (and humorous) memories of our cra-cra lives, I’ve found a few ideas.

Had no clue you could do something like this with a heat gun! So many possibilities! DIY Gold Snake Bowl via RainonaTinRoof.com

DIY Golden Snake Bowl

November 17, 2014 By Jenna 70 Comments

At my old house, killing snakes was at least a monthly occurrence.

There was the one time my Dad showed up, walked up the porch steps, immediately started jumping around and yelling, “JENNA, SNAKE!”

It was wrapped around a porch chair, hissing.

I killed it with a hoe.

And there was the one that liked to live inside my roof on the back of the house. Every once in a while, it would stick its head out and I could see it from the kitchen window – I could never catch him.

And then once, as I was walking down the stairs, talking to my cousin on the phone, I was met by a snake in the middle of the living room floor. I hung up, killed the snake, then called her back two minutes later.

She answered asking if I was ok. Of course, it was just a snake.

It was a nearly 100 year old farm house with lots of holes – what did you expect?

Luckily, we don’t really have any snakes to deal with around here.

Except pretty gold ones – made into a bowl.

DIY Faux Malachite Tray (For Less than $10)

November 13, 2014 By Jenna 14 Comments

Lately, I’ve been lusting.

Lusting after this malachite fabric.

I’ve kind of been dreaming and scheming to make that fabric into curtains for the living room.

But I just can’t bite the bullet yet.

But I do love malachite.

And as I was walking through the craft store the other day, plotting to make a pink and white marbled tray, I changed my mind.

Which happens often.

I would make a faux malachite tray.

And I did.

Glitter Mason Jars - Pink and Gold Glittered Jars - Rain on a Tin Roof

How to Glitter Mason Jars

July 31, 2014 By Jenna 38 Comments

Is there anyone else out there that just feels the need to add a little bling everywhere?

A little gold here, a little glitter there?

It just makes everything a little more fun and pretty.

When I made over the porch recently, I realized that these mason jars didn’t quite fit with the fun, colorful vibe going on out there. I wanted to keep them though to use as lanterns for extra lighting at night.

My solution: Bling ‘Em Out.

Now, I have sparkly glitter mason jars.

You guys know I have a love for just about everything Kate Spade.

It all started with this Kate Spade inspired lamp.

These placemats and this party wreath also channel a bit of Kate.

And then Mama bought me this Kate Spade serving set* for mother’s day and I nearly peed my pants.

I saw this black and white Kate Spade photo frame* around Christmas and almost put it on my wish list, but then I realized I could easily do a Kate Spade Knock-Off on this picture frame.
