Almost Homemade Valentine's Day Gifts

Life's Too Short To Live In Houston!

When the sun came up this morning the horses next door looked like they had golden halo's around them.

My "Nearly" Homemade Pineapple Cake

I made this super easy Pineapple Cake and was surprised at how fast it was done and how good it is. 

It's just 3 ingredients:

1. 1 20oz can of crushed pineapple
2. 1 18.5oz yellow cake mix
3. 3 eggs

Preheat your oven to 350 and oil a 9 x 13 dish. (I poured melted butter on the bottom and sprinkled brown sugar on mine. I added what was left of a can of cherries I had in the refrigerator too) Poured it in the pan and baked it 30 minutes. It was delicious. For years my Dad's been making something similar with a boxed chocolate cake mix and can of cherries. 

We all ate on it yesterday but me and my new daughter-in-law Emily ate the lions share!

Valspar Organic Garden - In The Loft

OMG! I'm making myself insane over paint color choices, here's what I ended up with! I like it but it's bright which I wanted, but still shocks me a bit. Hopefully this Valspar Organic Green is just bright enough to be surprising and has just enough yellow to keep it warm but not go pea-soupy. Anyway my brain is tired of thinking about it. It'll just have to work.... 

I can easily change-out the bedding, curtains, a few accents to have a whole different look depending on who our guests are.
I like this Oops A Daisy Collection. It's sweet and girly. I could use it for the bedding, curtains, maybe a throw pillow, etc. It would be easy to make-over the room by just changing the fabrics.

 

 

 

Here's some more rustic and muted fabrics (my camera didn't do them justice) I was thinking of before I found the Oops A Daisy fabric collection by Moda.
