GUYS, I am SO SORRY! How come I am so forgetful? I will get my act together soon and start posting the “My Favorite Things” box back on the 1st of the month again. So, this month I wanted to switch it up a bit and I decided to add products to the box this month that reflect recent projects that I have taken on myself.
So recently if you caught my blog post on these cute clay bowls. It was something I had been thinking about doing for a while now with working with clay. I figured it could be a good therapeutic kind of project unlike this RV of mine. Well, it came at the right time and it was super easy and fun to make. So, this month I’ve included some clay to make your own clay bowls with. Or be creative and come up with something totally different.
The next time item is these Rustoleum easy grip. I seriously love this product for when spray painting. I feel like Summer always becomes the month of spray painting projects so this will save your hand from any cramping. I just took on our exterior RV makeover today using a new product from Rustoleum and let me tell you how much this saved my hand from that annoying spray painting cramp.
Lastly, is my obsession with terracotta pots. I seriously wish I was great at nurturing plants and I will make it my goal one day to really be patient and learn plants and gardening. Well, I do love a mix of terracotta pots and my recent terracotta pot with my Olive tree. So, I wanted to include one that I found (that would fit in the box) for this month’s giveaway. I think it will certainly work with these summer months.
Curious how you all feel about products that work for a craft or project vs. home decor. Please leave me your honest comment if you would like to see more crafting projects or if you prefer pretty decor!
I will be selecting my winner of this month’s giveaway a little later than normal. I am leaving next week for a blogger conference in Charleston, so when I get back next Sunday the 15th or that Monday I will be selecting a winner. So if you don’t hear from me in a week don’t panic I sill won’t have selected a winner.

That easy grip for spray painting… I never knew it existed! I must have one!
WOW! What a great idea…I like your switch this month for items to help with crafting. However, I really like the home decor products in your giveaway boxes. Wishing you the best of luck at your conference. Enjoy!
Goodness, I didn’t know there was such a “critter” as an easy grip for spray cans! I must say I am the “spray queen” here in Casper. I love your craft posts, but do love the decor posts as well. Keep ‘me coming!
I have been wanting to try working with clay. Would be so fun to receive some in your DIY box!
getting ready to paint some wicker chair i found at the thrift store and this would be so great to have!!
If you do not have a paint sprayer, this comfort grip handle is your hand’s God send. Did my wicker furniture . . . what could be a chore turns into an easy breezy project. Creativity can be squelched by difficulty. Have fun. You will be painting everything!
Hi! Hope you and your family are doing well! I love looking at all your pictures and the beautiful things you create!
Interesting, I’ll have to give this a try! Thank you for the helpful information.
This is a great tool, I had a gripper that fit on a spray can awhile back, but this one looks to be so useful. I love to see crafting projects, and I love the DIY part, I too believe you can have awesome things on any sort of budget. I’m glad I stumbled upon your site.
I like both, the crafting and home décor. I am doing a lot of DIY projects to decorate my home, so both would be useful. You have great style and ideas. But I must say, I Love Love the clay you shared and have not been able to go to the store to buy some yet…hectic life. Those I want to try with my daughters as they would be fun and therapeutic for their fine motor skills so I’ll have to buy a bunch to get creative with them– Occupation therapy without feeling like therapy ;). Keep those ideas and new products coming!!! 🙂
your clay bowls are so cute and useful. I love ideas that can work well with my granddaughter!
Always working on some type of project around here. Appreciate all your DIY tips.
The sprayer would be life changing for me! You find the best stuff! Thank you!!!!
I seriously want to try the clay!
I love the clay bowls!! So pretty and simple.
The Rustoleum handle grip for the spray paint looks fabulous. What ease it would make of spray painting! I always get my fingers messed up and forget the gloves until it’s too late (hey, that would make a nice giveaway, too!) Thanks for being so generous to your readers. Hope I’m the big winner!!!
I would love to win the Rustoleum safe grip handle for spray paint! What a great idea – then I wouldn’t waste as many pairs of gloves spray painting!!! I always get it on my fingers. Thank you for being so generous to your readers. Hope I win!!!
I like it all! I’m currently more into decor since I’m updating my home, but I always enjoy learning new techniques, getting new ideas.
Have a great trip. 🙂
Cool products! I have an old off brand handle for spray paint but it’s broken now.
Have a great week!
Karen
I always look forward to reading the blog and seeing your progress.
Love the idea of the grip for Spray paint! Making a Clay project sounds fun!
All great choices for your box, Deb!
Looks easy – pleasy & bet it keeps your fingers cleaner as well. Does it help to spray more uniform? Would enjoy trying one.
I’m not sure about spraying more uniform, but it definitely helps to prevent that wrist cramp which will ultimate keep your hand steadier lol
WOW, all the products you’ve featured here are amazing! The sprayer gripper is a fantastic find! Must have foe diy nuts like me?
I would love both. When you posted about the clay bowls, I couldn’t wait to give it a shot, such a cute detail to add your decor!
I really want to try making some bowls– I downloaded your instructions!! I love to spray paint– have several projects to do! That spray paint gun looks awesome! The terracotta pot would really come in handy to add to my “stoop garden”!!!! Thanks for another great giveaway!… Would LOVE TO WIN!!!??
I enjoy your posts! I love home de or and crafts/DIY equally so whatever you post is great!
I have used the Rustoleum Easy Grip and love it -could always use a few more and the flower pot and sculpey -my brain is full of ideas !
Love the clay project. Wanted to give it a try.
WOW – GREAT idea! Thanks for sharing. Have fun at the conference!
WOW – love it! Thanks for sharing! Have fun at the conference!

I’m very excited about the DIY monthly Favorite Things. My friend and I had already decided to make the clay bowls when you posted that project. The paint sprayer which I’ve never seen before definitely makes painting easier! I love the idea of alternating the monthly Favorite Things with DIY products and decorating items. Brilliant! Thank you!
Im new to your blog but love it!!
I love home décor ideas.
Hi there,
I just signed up a few days ago. I love your style young lady. We finished building our log home in 2002, so it is time for me to sweep it out and bring it up to date while still trying to keep the log walls timeless. It can be a challenge, but I have found my direction I think.
You have given me ideas to think about. I thank you very much and I will be watching!
Crafting products sound like a great idea. I can’t wait to play with the clay. Also to see what else you come up with. Love the little pot.
Hi Deb…
So FUN watching your RV RE-DO Adventure !! I am betting you will have NO trouble selling it whe your house is ready. QUESTION IS… will you be able to let it go OR keep it for vacay !! ?? It’s lookin’ mighty fine !!
I luv crafty things. A.N.D. pretty decor. I purchased all the ‘stuff’ to do the lil’ clay bowls. Summer project.
ENJOY your upcoming event !!
??hugs. ~linda of no.cal.
Oh that’s awesome to hear Linda! Yes, we will certainly be selling her. I’m not sure we are quite the RV camping type…but it’s been fun camping out here all summer so far.
Great choice to change things up. I love them all.
Love DIY and home decor! Can’t go wrong with either. Beautiful home and blog!!
Great ideas-thanks for the tips as I’m getting ready to move into a new home.
Oh my goodness; that spray paint handle is a must have!
I sure could have used that spray paint holder years ago when I redid an iron fence/gate and all my outside furniture! I enjoy all your ideas…decor and crafts. =)
Crafts go hand in and with home decor for most of us. Bring it on! It’s a nice surprise to see new things to spark our creativity and encourage our resourcefulness.
Great site. Thank you for sharing your wonderful ideas!
I love products for crafta, they usually end up in my home decor anyways. These handles are so much more comfortable to use.
Look out objects I’m coming after you with paint!!
very cute!
I must have that comfy gripper! And I know JUST what I would make with that clay ?
I have especially enjoyed watching your posts on the RV redo. We hope to do the same one day and I am learning a lot. Thanks for all you share.
WOW, I would love the spray paint holder, especially when I have 20 (yes 20) shutters on my house and 2 front doors that are going to be spray painted! This would be magic to my hands to receive!!! I love the crafty items because those become my home decor!
Ohh, love the comfort grip – didn’t know they existed!
Would love to try the easy spray attachment for all my painting projects. No cramping fingers again would be so sweet!! Also, can never have enough pots. Love, love, love:)
Great items to use for getting things ready for my daughter’s dorm!
I had no idea that spay attachment existed and i just did a locker project for my livingroom.y hand was killing me. Thank you i will have one for my next project. I love all your posts and inspiration ideas!
Such great ideas. You always enlighten me on just what I need.
