A Cross Wall in the Works

By -
Alright, with all the Madison Hoopla going on this weekend, I didn't have a lot of time to much painting this past week, but I have more room THIS week to work on it.

Today, I am sharing with you something that is in my "idea book": a Cross Wall.

I have seen several cool pictures of peoples bathrooms, hallways, or family rooms that have a cross wall in it.

What is a cross wall? Just like it sounds - a wall with a bunch of crosses on it! Just check out some of these examples:

I have had one in my "to do" folder for a while and happened to snatch these babies up on 90% holiday clearance.I am officially started!!! I will check right around St Patrick's day and Easter too - and then, there is Garage Sale season! I think I can pull this together faster than I had thought. Here are the 3 that I have so far:

Do you have any cool decor ideas that have been at the back of your head nagging at you?

    I love those examples - where are they from? I am sure they have other cute ideas, too (and, I like the wall color in 3rd picture!).

    Can't wait to see how your wall turns out. Great idea!

    I did a google search for "Cross Wall" and those were the coolest hits. That "terra cotta" color is neat - very warm!

    I have a cross wall and I'm LOVING doing it! :) it can get expensive and takes a lot of time to gather up enough but it's SO fun! Almost all of mine have meaning!

    The wall next to my side of the bed is my cross wall. I use to have a TON of crosses, but my ex husband destroyed most of them. Right now I only have 3, but I'm always on the lookout for more!

    Great idea!

Cookie Exchange Parties are SO MUCH FUN - for a few simple reasons:You get together with your friends You make only ONE kind of cookie and finish your holiday baking, after swapping out You get new recipes You often have snacks or games! That being said, I do one every year - in December, about 2 weeks before Christmas. (You can read about it HERE or see a TV segment I did on it http://youtu.be/-iUR7GlAiQw ). I thought it would be fun to have a collection of 30 fun recipes to try - one a day in November - so you can be prepared for that holiday baking!

I know this sounds strange -- and yummy at the same time, LOL You need to know the family history to "get it". We are part German, part English, part Irish and part Tennessee Hillbilly. Seriously. Did you ever see that black and white movie of Gary Cooper's called Sergeant York? Yes, my family comes from the Dyer/Yorks -- same family. Some of the "family recipes" are too far out there for even me to try... But this is a pot luck favorite. SUPER Easy and SUPER Easy to make healthier. We choose the middle of the road option, LOL You need:  1 package hot dog buns (8 ct) 1 package hot dogs 2 cups chili (or 1 can) 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese "fixins" That's it! You could do gluten free or whole grain wheat buns, turkey or tofu dogs, vegetarian chili, vegan or light cheese, you get the drift. We do white buns, cut them up and place in the 9x13 pan, like you see here: Then you dice up the hot dogs
