This project has so many of my favorite components. I love color, paint, process art, functionality, and several steps for a project and this fun project incorporates all of that. It's not too difficult and a few steps can really set up kids or you for a fun project that (I believe) you would then enjoy the finished product for years. Embrace the process being the art and enjoy it with this project. I will quickly show you the main steps I did in this project with campers at our studio. My Continue Reading
Easy DIY Satin Flower
As I mentioned in my last post, we are READY for spring around here. Sunshine. Warmth. Color. Anything to get beyond this cold grey reality.

Spring Mantel Decor with Crafts
Who is ready for winter to be over!? (All the hands went up and the hearts said yes). Especially the ones in the northern mid-west of the United States.

DIY Valentines Heart Wreath
It's the week of hearts. It's no secret that we aren't big Valentines Day people. I believe so much more in sharing that you love all year long in simple, kind, thoughtful ways. BUT, I do love a good heart craft, and with kids it is hard to completely ignore the holiday. Since I can't fully ignore it, I just try to keep it cheap and quick. Thanks to cardboard, that is possible!! (What would we do without cardboard around here!?!?! It fuels a lot of creativity.) You too can make a fun Continue Reading
VLOG Behind the Scenes: The Ultimate Cardboard Box Fort
Did you ever build forts as a kid? Do your kids build forts now? We often use blankets to create forts and we lay them over chairs and tables to create a fun hideout. In our latest YouTube videos, we show you how our family built the ultimate cardboard fort. In part one, we used left over boxes from the holidays and some boxes that were donated to us from a family move to create our fort. The kids actually inspired and launched this project on their own by creating individual cardboard Continue Reading
