Today, I am happy to be doing a little blog swap with Stacy from Not JUST a Housewife! Her blog is full of amazing projects, and she is here today to show you just a sampling of some of her favorites. Take it away, Stacy!

Hi! I’m Stacy from Not JUST A Housewife and I am thrilled to be swapping with Amy today! I just found her site not too long ago and I love it! Isn’t she so creative??? It definitely is Positively Splendid 🙂
I am a stay at home mom to 4 little boys and I love it! Don’t get me wrong, it can be hard. Sometimes down right crazy! But in between loads of laundry, at nap time, and into the late hours of the night I am able to find some “me” time. It helps keep me sane! Here are some of the things you can find on my blog.
I refinished this antique desk. You should see what it looked like before! I have a tutorial on how I did it HERE.Â
I needed more lighting in my front room but my hubby was unemployed at the time and I had zero budget for one. So I made this floor lamp out of scrap wood left over from other projects. Then I hand painted one of my own design on a lamp shade I had. I did have to buy a $10.00 lamp kit but I think it was worth the splurge! See the complete tutorial HERE.
With 4 busy boys I am always looking for fun activities to do with my kids. They love this felt face activity! I cut out a bunch of different noses, different eyes, mouths, etc and they can make their own faces however they want over and over. See how to make them HERE.Â
If I can’t find the right fabric I just paint my own!
See how I fixed up our old bathroom for around $75.00!
I also recently stenciled my entire bedroom ceiling. It took 4 days because I had 49 million interruptions, but it was worth it. I love waking up to a pretty ceiling! You can see more picture and how I did it HERE. There is also a tutorial on how I made the Chandelier HERE.Â
I host a linky party on Tuesdays called Show me what ya got! So come party with me on Tuesdays 🙂
I have an etsy shop called The Housewife Boutique too. I recently added a ton of necklaces, hair clips and headbands.
I also sometimes chat about “mom” things like BABY WEIGHT, bad days, traditions, cleaning, etc. So come and visit me sometime at Not JUST A Housewife. 🙂
Thanks, Stacy, for coming over today while I settled into your place. It’s been tons of fun!

Be on the lookout tomorrow morning when I cover some of your questions and suggestions for the Diaper Box Canvas Bins I posted about earlier this week!
Having grown up in a home brimming with sewing notions and paintbrushes, Amy has a deep love for all things creative. On any given day, you’ll find her knee-deep in her latest creative endeavor, with projects ranging from sewing and crafts to home decor and kid-friendly ideas. Amy believes that everyone, regardless of skill level or experience, possesses the ability to create something beautiful, and Positively Splendid was born of her passion for helping others harness their innate creative potential.
Your bedroom is super-cute. The chandelier is a perfect touch!
Oh I just love your bedroom ceiling and your chandy tutorial. I am already NJAH follower, but still enjoyed your post.
