Christmas Gift Idea: Handmade Ornaments

Christmas is one of my favorite seasons of the year. It gives me a reason to try new crafts and it’s the only time of  year when it’s acceptable to cover everything in GLITTER! Seriously, my house looks like it was hit by a glitter bomb right now…and that’s ok. I have been a crafting […]

Take an Ugly Dresser “Spray it Pretty” to transform it into a Princess Closet

Last fall, I brought home a junky dresser. I had big plans for the dresser, but it got too cold to paint a week after I brought it home. Much to my husband’s dismay, the dresser hung out in various areas of our home during winter, spring and most of fall. The threats of trashing […]

DIY Halloween Candy Cat Party Favors

It’s party time again! Are you ready? I’m getting there (I think). I love decorating for class parties, but clean up is never fun. Most parents just want to grab their child and beat the rush out of the parking lot-ahem, or maybe that’s just me. Party favors are the way to go for school […]

Canvas Makeover to Cherry Blossom Art

What happens to decor when you switch up themes? Ideally new decor would be in the budget but if you are working on a set dollar amount, maybe splurging on new furniture or upgrading a rug is the priority. If your theme is along the lines of Japanese Culture (even Asian culture in general) this […]

DIY: Scrabble Name Decor

A friend and I tried to implement a Thrift Store Swap locally…then summer came and we kind of forgot that we were doing a swap. Eventually, one of the items (a ceramic candle topper) was murdered in a tragic garage cleaning incident. I still intend on repurposing my items…but I’m not in such a hurry […]

DIY WASH Laundry Decor

DIY WASH Laundry Decor

Decor for a laundry room? Yes, it’s a thing now…but I can’t bring myself to pay for decorations that will be rarely seen. Honestly, if it’s expensive I lose interest, no matter how pretty it is. Something handmade. Something that I enjoy making is more my style. Want to see how I made this easy […]
