Over the last few years we have done a lot of work on our humble little home. Check my profile for a few photos of our house last winter. Things are constantly changing, and that's the best part. Curbly has me excited!

Mini Modern Artwork for the Frugal Collector ($20)

By alicia 1175

   While paging through this month's edition of Real Simple magazine, I came upon this gem...www.tinyshowcase.com. This website features a community of artists who post one original piece of mini artwork every Tuesday. Each print sells for about $20, and is approximately 4 x 6 inches. What's more is that a percentage of each print sold goes to a charity of the artist's choosing.

Despite the lack of snow in St. Paul, I am getting in the holiday spirit. I've been listening to Dean Martin's "Marshmallow World" and started to make my way down my holiday gift lists. I turned my car stereo to the "Christmas Superstation" where it's Christmas all day and all night. Sweet Bruno deals with my holiday spirit magnificently.  We received our first holiday card this weekend, which brings me to my question: Does anyone have a non-traditional way to display holiday cards? Last year we used the predictable piano, and this year we're looking for something a bit more... »MORE

We also like your house very much.  :)  You guys should come to visit us, we would love to show you around.  It was nice to see you over Christmas.  I hope you are still practicing that awesome dance move we worked on.

Was I pouty? I've been having all these DIY daydreams, but I don't want to make capital improvements on something that isn't mine. My apartment is huge and filled with inherited furniture from the guy that had the place before me. I want to make my apartment pretty... so that the ladies will swoon. I'll be home from the 21st to the 26th.
