“Hi there Stephanie here one of your friendly blog stalkers. So I am able to joke often about probably being America’s worst cook. However I have found a blog that I love that is inspiring my inner cook (where ever that may be) I have a book mark list a mile long of recipes that I want to try from these amazing ladies. Have you tried any of their recipes?http://www.sixsistersstuff.com/

I’m a huge fan of It’s Always Autumn! I love the variety of posts she writes, from holiday crafts to photography to food! After painting my home in preparation to attempt to sell, I kept all my pictures off the walls. I’m the type of person that love to have photos, art,

wording… anything that reminds me of the life I’m so grateful to have. So, this post by It’s Always Autumn really caught my eye. I love how this instagram wall of photos looks and really want to do something like!

also love that the photos can be changed easily. Swapping out photos is something I do regularly when my frames are up, but this would be easy! Check out her blog post to find out exactly how to accomplish this project by yourself!
