If you paint or have a child that likes to paint, you probably have gone through some paint bottles, right!? For years and years, I have just thrown these little bottles out when they seem to be empty. Now that we have an art studio, we have flown through the paint at crazy fast speeds. Its been so exciting to see others create, but I have thought on several occasions "I wonder what else we could do with these bottles to get more of our money out of them!?" One day it hit me like a lightning Continue Reading
Turkey Table Runner
This table runner is one of my most sentimental mom projects we've done to date. Those little hands grow so quickly, and having something that captures all the stages is pretty special.

My trainer sister helps keep me in check too. When I thought through what kind of Valentines I could make to send my nieces way, I knew they had to be non-candy. Lucky me, they have the crazy crafting gene as Continue Reading
DIY Bookends (what you can make for being a hoarder)
Surely I'm not a hoarder, right!? There are things that are easy to throw out. Toys the dogs have chewed on, stained socks with holes, and junk mail... no sweat! But when it comes to craft supplies and crafting leftovers, you better watch out! I had cut some boards for another project, but I looked down on the floor and saw that my scraps were actually some really cute block type pieces of wood. I had to save and use them for something. It was a must. Well, lucky for all of us that I did, Continue Reading
