January 9, 2012

Yay you're here! I hope you'll click to subscribe so that we can stay connected. RSS feed.

My poor Asher has a vicious stomach bug that just won’t quit . Since I was tending to a sick kiddo today, I asked The Real Housewives of Bucks County to pick the Tutes & Tips Not to Miss this week. A big thank you to Jess & Monica for helping a mommy out! If you haven’t visited Jess & Monica, you are missing out! Their projects are amazing and have been featured over here on A to Z many-a-time! Check them out when you have the chance.

…………………………………………………………..

Hey there! We’re Monica & Jess, AKA The Real Housewives of Bucks County. How many of you are envisioning us running around in high heels and getting plastic surgery? Nope! We are best friends and avid DIYer’s, who like to keep it real about the sucesses and failures in our lives.

First of all, this is just.too.cool. When Beth posted on Facebook asking if anyone was interested in guest posting for her Tips & Tutes Not to Miss, Monica, of course, said yes, kind of thinking that Beth was joking! I mean, it’s not every day we get asked to choose our favs from over 200 amazing projects! Let me tell you, Beth has a difficult job to do every week, but we are happy to fill in while she takes care of her little guy. We’re regular submitters of tips & tutes each week and love this link party! In fact, here was our submission this past week:

Ok, so now it’s time to break it down!

Jess’ Top 5 Tips & Tutes

1. $2.00 Goodwill Wine Bottle Lamps from Pondered, Primed, Perfected.

2. DIY Glowing Rattan Ball Pendants by Burlap & Denim:

3. Fabric Wall Decal/ Little Girl’s Nursery by Ms Smartie Pants

4. General Tsao’s Chicken Sliders by Mom on Timeout

5. No-Sew Braided Cowl by Red Barn Candle Company

Monica’s Top 5 Tips & Tutes

1. DIY Pendant Light by Imperfectly Impolished

2. No-Sew Fabric Piano Bench Cushion by In My Own Style
Furniture Transformations on a budget

3. Cabinet Makeover and Styling by Burlap & Lace

4. Monogrammed Drop Cloth Pillow by It all Started with Paint.

5. Stairway Gallery by The Creative Imperative.

Great job, ladies! Phew- that was so much fun! And thanks for the chance to pick our favs, Beth.

We’re praying your little guy gets better soon!

Beth, I feel your pain. My daughter was wiped for 7 days with strep … and we teetered there a few days with fear of mono! Mono! In an 11 year old?

And now I have to give my thanks to Monica for picking my drop-cloth pillow! My teenage niece in Montana is really enjoying her “b” pillow xmas gift …

… and I’m sure both of you are feeling my pain on this one, but I cannot believe that they canceled Nate! Really? I just love his show! It’s part of a two-hour late afternoon block of Nate & Ellen for me while the kids work on homework. So bummed! First All My Children. And now Nate.

I guess it’s a good thing I just started my blog …

Thanks again! Linda
