DIY: Mini DiaperCake and Personalized Name Decor

There are so many methods of making a diaper cake…so as promised, here is how I make mine. It involves a lot of rubber bands because I am usually assembling these by myself. If you can acquire an extra pair of hands to hold the diapers in place you may not need as many =)  […]

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: Mini Composting Worm Towers

My family LOVES oatmeal with almond butter and honey.  We eat it several times a week and can easily go through a 42 ounce canister in a month.  Also, thanks to Daniel Tiger, my preschooler insists on playing “hide and seek” with her blueberries in her oatmeal.  Whatever works =)  So what is one way […]

I was ecstatic when given the opportunity to make custom decorations for a baby shower.  A few projects have been in mind but never a reason to make them.  I despise being wasteful with my time and money, so I refused to make something “just because”. Artistic freedom and a dress for inspiration, were given […]
