Spruce Up Your Space
Have you noticed the topiary trend?? I’ve seen them in crates all in row, as centerpieces on the dining room table, in the master bedroom, in the entryway, all over the front porch, possibilities are endless! I love the little ball topiaries, you can stack them on candlesticks, in tins, in jars, in buckets. And [...]
So you know when you go out of town and stay up ’til 5am chatting with other women and forget all your home responsibilities? And you sort of forget you were supposed to have all your crafts prepped since you’re going to be on a LIVE news segment the morning after you get back? Oh no, [...]
Carrots are at the top of our grocery list in our house. They’re cheap and healthy and when you have 4 hungry kiddos, you’re all about quick, no-mess snacks. I think they’re a forgotten cute factor in decor too. I mean seriously, these 18 carrot decor and treats are so stinkin cute, right!? The nice thing [...]
I love vintage. Like, real vintage, not replica vintage. Okay, I like replica vintage too but there’s nothing better than finding something old and making it new again. My grandmother’s era is my favorite, early 20′s-40′s. Her suitcases now home my fabric, scrapbook paper, etc in my herringbone bookcases in my craft room. To make [...]
We just LOVE Target anytime of the year, but ESPECIALLY this time of year… it’s full of pretty pastels and lots of scrumptious Easter candy that is also oh-so-cute! Have you seen the darling jar of gummy carrots they have? Just a few bucks and it instantly makes the perfect neighbor gift or would look [...]
Today’s Easter project is not only fast, but super inexpensive, I’m talking less than $5 for this sign. I love wood signs because you buy the 6′ wood one time and you can reuse your unused wood for the next project. And your initial cost is only $8 for a 6′ board to start so [...]
Wee, it’s Thursday! Only one more day until the weekend that starts a 2-week spring break for my kiddo’s…. yay! I can hardly wait for a break from the daily grind and to enjoy some fun St. Paddy’s activities with them. Okay, so it’s mostly green meals and wearing cute green clothes but at least [...]
As promised from our last post sharing our shamrock tree tutorial, here is my always changing St Patricks Day mantel. I whipped up this St Patricks Day burlap tie bunting today, it took less than half an hour. Can you tell from this first photo what the green fabric is? Look closely…did you guess it?? Mens [...]
So I’m thinking we’re getting a little obsessed with craft trees. We’ve made scallop Christmas felt trees, Valentine’s Day felt heart trees and now an ombre St Patricks Day shamrock tree. This one isn’t felt. Could you imagine cutting out a hundred four leaf clover shaped felt pieces!? No thank you! I’m devoted to crating but [...]
Happy Valentine’s Day! If you’re a regular reader, you know how much we love our Diet Coke…. if you’re not but catch up with us on instagram, you can usually see a canned drink or 44 ouncer from Circle K or Sonic in the background. What can we say? It’s our little piece of heaven [...]
Who says Valentine’s Day has to be all about the girls?! I love a good zombie flick as much as the next guy. Yes, I’m serious. Me and hubby are die hard ‘Walking Dead’ fans and I couldn’t love it more! He’s in it for the gore, I’m in it for the back drama. The [...]
I can’t believe Valentine’s Day is next week! We’ve been sharing Valentine’s decor since the first of the year since I go straight to VDay after Christmas. We were even on the news showing viewers how to decorate on a budget, it was a blast! Now it’s time to concentrate on actual Valentines for friends, teachers, neighbors, [...]
Holy moly it’s been forevah since I’ve sat down and got my scrapbooking…er, die cutting, on! When I spied the new Shape N Tape from Lifestyle Crafts, I knew right away what I wanted to create with them, a washi tape love letter: I am lovin’ these big ol sheets of washi tape- how brilliant [...]
Coffee filter wreaths have been around craft world for a while now and I just love them! If you follow me on Instagram, you may have laughed at my failed attempt to make one with fellow bloggers, Tausha and Lori last month. I didn’t even bring the beast home as it was a hot mess! I [...]
