I have a new obsession... it's name is Flickr. You guys know how much I love sharing photos with you... well, <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/125023267@N03/sets/">head over to my Flickr page</a> to see all the sweet goodness that is The Cottons. We're cute, hip and we're going to be co-blogging here soon. #cutestcoupleawardgoesto...</div>

Most recently our adventures took us in search of Michigan Elk - so part of that is up over there. I'll do a blog post soon. Here's my favorite picture from that trip, hands down. </div>

It goes hand in hand with my business, This Nifty Earth. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I really wanted to separate my personal blog from the TNE one so that you guys don't feel like you're bombarded with TNE things all the time (although, there will still be some of that here). </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you want to keep up with what I was hoping my personal blog would grow into (and it did), you can at www.blog.thisniftyearth.com! Check it out. Now. Please and thank you.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'll continue blogging over here at www.margeauxcotton.com for a couple reasons... </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<ol>
<li>I love the URL. I mean really? Cotton. It's awesome. </li>
<li>I want a place to share... moments with you guys, and the place that this blog was headed (more of a diy, lifestyle, business blog) wasn't the right place to do that. </li>
</ol>
<div>
I'm all done now. </div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Shalom, </div>

Attention, attention! I would like to announce the newest addition to the This Nifty Earth team! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am happy to introduce my close friend, Elysa Gryzbowski! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Elysa is a mother, wife and small business owner herself. She will bring a fresh perspective that I can't wait to share with you all! She will be joining as Co-Owner and Director of Photography as this little venture continues to grow. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are lots of plans, dreams, goals and visions involved in this decision, as well as hours of prayer. We can't wait to share some of the stuff we have brewing! Sit tight just a little while longer while we revamp. I think you'll like what we have in store! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Shalom, </div>

Jordan and I don't really do Valentines Day. <a href="http://www.margeauxcotton.com/2013/02/valentines-day-adventure.html">Last year we went snowshoeing</a> (we're going again this Thursday, I can hardly wait!), but we don't do traditional "valentines" things. But, that doesn't mean I don't like giving my girlfriends gifts! Check out this cute and simple DIY that is perfect for the goal/work driven friend in your life!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>Gold Polka Dots: </i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dip your Q-Tip in the gold paint and gently make polka dots on the glass. I would do one side at a time or else the paint might run. I waited 10 minutes for every side. Once your last side has set, you can place right side up and let the paint fully dry. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>Glass Etched Dots: </i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Using the same technique as the gold make your polka dot pattern. The cream doesn't run as much as the paint, so be generous with your Q-Tip. Make sure to wear gloves as this stuff isn't super nice to your skin. Once your dots are all done, let the cream site for 10 minutes. Wash off with warm water and enjoy!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>Gold Dipped: </i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This one is the easiest of the 3. Simply tape off the bottom area that you want to be gold (the top would even be pretty) and cover the "non paintable" area with plastic wrap. Make sure you have the edge sealed tightly to the glass to avoid the paint running where you don't want it. Place upside down and cover with 3 coats, allowing for the paint to dry several minutes between coats. Once dry, remove tape and plastic wrap. You can use a knife to clean up any runs.</div>

Just a simple post today about my dear Instagram friend Court Morin. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
She just started her own blog and you should all go see what she's about. It's still in the baby stages, but I'm really excited about watching this new adventure of hers grow. Go check out www.courtmorin.wordpress.com and give her some encouragement! </div>

During the week I look forward to Saturdays. Not because I'm a weekend junkie (like I was in high school), but because I am able to pour uninterrupted hours into my passions. Reading, making, blogging and learning are all things I care deeply about and they have helped me this year stay on track with several "resolutions" I made. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My house is (and has been) clean this whole week!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've been intentional about my promise to be a better Proverbs 31 woman! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Personal & business goals are being meet weekly! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So that is why I look forward to Saturdays. My creative outlet has helped me streamline my life and make solid goals for my time when I'm at home. A "to-do" list, if you will. But one I don't dread working on. Below are just a couple things that have been going on in the Cotton household and with This Nifty Earth lately. It's kind of like a peculating coffee pot around my house all the time now. Is that analogy acceptable? Whew, good. For a second I thought I might be labeled an 'ol housewife. ;) </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Start by cutting the design out of contact paper. I used my Cameo, but you can print on the contact paper and cut it out with a box cutter if you want. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. Once you have your design cut out, carefully place it onto the bottle. Make sure all edges are sealed tight against the bottle so that the cream can't leak under the seal and mess up the lines. </div>

3. Generously apply the etching cream and let sit for 10 minuets. Wash up with warm water and take off the contact paper. </div>

I've been finding a lot of DIY projects on Pinterest lately, and this project is one of first that caught my eye in recent months. </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started by burning some designs into the sticks - triangles, plus signs, chevron... </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Boil your sticks for about 20 minutes and pull them out one at a time, wrapping them around the can and securing them with a rubber band. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I let them dry for about 7 hours, but I wish I had let them sit over night! They weren't 100% dry, so they warped a little. </div>

I love all the seasons, but man, this Winter is really making me miss Summer. I love warm weather and being able to enjoy the sunshine in shorts and t-shirt. I also love collecting small things like shells and acorns so I can make them into one of a kind jewelry. Since I'm excited for Summer I decided to make a cute shell necklace. </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Start by gluing the bail into place on the back on the shell and let it dry completely. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-elrHxcHnrRc/UsmPt2SttLI/AAAAAAAAJ5s/92-dIBbaHtE/s1600/IMG_8398.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-elrHxcHnrRc/UsmPt2SttLI/AAAAAAAAJ5s/92-dIBbaHtE/s640/IMG_8398.JPG" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. Paint the shell. I used <a href="http://www.blogger.com/%3Ciframe%20src=%22http://rcm-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/cm?lt1=_blank&bc1=000000&IS2=1&bg1=FFFFFF&fc1=000000&lc1=0000FF&t=wwwmargeauxco-20&o=1&p=8&l=as4&m=amazon&f=ifr&ref=ss_til&asins=B007C7XKWE%22%20style=%22width:120px;height:240px;%22%20scrolling=%22no%22%20marginwidth=%220%22%20marginheight=%220%22%20frameborder=%220%22%3E%3C/iframe%3E">this</a> but you can just as easily use spray paint. Let it dry and attach the chain!</div>

I love Sundays. Spending quiet time with the Lord, completing open projects, cleaning my home and enjoying the last day before the work week. Jordan and I went to the Blockbuster that's closing right up the street yesterday. I spent time putting them in open cases today.</div>

Aren't they gorgeous? I love the earthy tones he used... Reds, tans and dark blues. They're all lovely. I can't do much with the broken ones, so they'll sit on my shelf and look pretty. </div>

I also took a couple pictures of one of my favorite things in our house: the bookshelves in our living room. This one was my favorite... I love everything about this side of our living room.

Jordan and I live in a townhouse, which means we (or I...) can't decorate as much as we would like. There are quite a few things I would like to hang our paint that I can't. I try to work around that by doing home decor that will move with us when we leave and that doesn't damage the structure of the house too much. I pinned a lot of these types of projects, but 4 of my favorite are below. </div>

Hellllooooooo! I hope you all had a great first week of 2014. I know I sure did!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I want to share the first DIY project of 2014 with you. These cute arrow statement plates are perfect for a wall hanging or a jewelry dish.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QntwllRfhoo/UpEW6EpO7eI/AAAAAAAAHOU/QOKsIvDVID4/s1600/IMG_8176.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QntwllRfhoo/UpEW6EpO7eI/AAAAAAAAHOU/QOKsIvDVID4/s640/IMG_8176.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
What you'll need: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Chalkboard Spray Paint</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gold Spray Paint</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Contact Paper </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ceramic Plate</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
X-Acto Knife<br />
Cellophane<br />
Masking Tape<br />
This Arrow Graphic (or a graphic of your choosing)<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MfE6erNzLPw/UpEW7wFrQoI/AAAAAAAAJrg/q4Q1jC996lg/s1600/IMG_8177.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MfE6erNzLPw/UpEW7wFrQoI/AAAAAAAAJrg/q4Q1jC996lg/s640/IMG_8177.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Print the arrow graphic onto your contact paper. Slowly use the knife to cut out the arrows and gently remove them. Then peel off the backing and line it up on the plate. I covered the rest of the exposed ceramic with cellophane and taped it down, making sure there were no areas that the paint could get to. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-oAAMp6j3O8A/UpEXAjX_6PI/AAAAAAAAHOk/jvQ_5dD-U0c/s1600/IMG_8178.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-oAAMp6j3O8A/UpEXAjX_6PI/AAAAAAAAHOk/jvQ_5dD-U0c/s640/IMG_8178.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. In a well ventilated area lightly paint gold on the exposed area and let it dry. Slowly remove the contact paper and seal with clear coat. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_6KgQWdj3mA/UpEXamD6IqI/AAAAAAAAHPE/Tp02Rd4fiz4/s1600/IMG_8184.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_6KgQWdj3mA/UpEXamD6IqI/AAAAAAAAHPE/Tp02Rd4fiz4/s640/IMG_8184.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had to clean up the lines with the knife so they were cleaner, but I LOVE the way this turned out. I'm currently using it in my bathroom for my make-up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-j6qouSm2Ay4/UpEXIvnNqjI/AAAAAAAAHOs/Y8PY2UnymCM/s1600/IMG_8179.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-j6qouSm2Ay4/UpEXIvnNqjI/AAAAAAAAHOs/Y8PY2UnymCM/s640/IMG_8179.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. For the chalkboard version I took the contact paper that had been cut out from the first plate and stuck it to the center, making sure it was adhered completely. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rJTHaazhlrY/UpEXJ7Z93cI/AAAAAAAAJro/RP75VbXZ3Qw/s1600/IMG_8180.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rJTHaazhlrY/UpEXJ7Z93cI/AAAAAAAAJro/RP75VbXZ3Qw/s640/IMG_8180.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-V8GkEPOyDn8/UpEXPPZ16hI/AAAAAAAAHO8/Bvo4VyfvT8g/s1600/IMG_8181.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-V8GkEPOyDn8/UpEXPPZ16hI/AAAAAAAAHO8/Bvo4VyfvT8g/s640/IMG_8181.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. Then I spray painted with chalkboard paint and waited for it to dry. I might like this one even more than the gold one, just because the lines were SO CLEAN!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-l4274b5c4h8/UpEXxc28qbI/AAAAAAAAHRs/DeUQMPT_RRk/s1600/IMG_8187.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-l4274b5c4h8/UpEXxc28qbI/AAAAAAAAHRs/DeUQMPT_RRk/s640/IMG_8187.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I obviously didn't use either of these for actual food and wouldn't recommend it as the paint isn't 100% food safe. I used these to give a simple table setting more character in the pictures. In the end I used the gold one for a make up catch all in my bathroom and the chalkboard one got written on (see below) and is waiting to be hung on a statement wall. I love them both so much!<br />
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So what did you think, guys? Cute, right? I can't wait to make more. My head is overflowing with ideas. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I don't put much stock in resolutions. </div>
<div>
But this year I wanted to set some simple goals for myself that would hopefully spill into my marriage. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Be a godly wife. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Be a good steward of my time. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Be excellent at my job. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Be wiser. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Be healthier. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That's it. I want to be be more wise. I want to Lord to inform my mind as I wash myself in his word. I want to be a better wife who is more focused on her husband than herself. I want to eat better and be a better employee. And if there's time left... I wouldn't mind being able to put more time into this blog and my shop. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's to 2014 - I can't wait to see what it has in store. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Shalom</div>
