If you aren't a DIY crafter, it can be really overwhelming to walk into a craft store like Hobby Lobby, Jo Annes, or Michaels. There are so many different products and all classified in aisles with similar type items. I assume you stand there looking at it all and wonder which do you choose and where do you start. Today, I want to give you a list of my favorite craft items. These items (other than the ones that don't need replacing like scissors and ruler) I am regularly buying, even if I Continue Reading
DIY Feather Wreath
I am so excited to share today's Project Spotlight with you! A few weeks ago, I fell in love with a white feather wreath at Target. I stood there staring at it, trying to decide if I should buy it.

That is less than 1/4 the price at Target, and it really was so easy! Here is what you will Continue Reading
The Christmas Tin Can Makeover
Do you have any of those Christmas tin cans (that came holding a snack) that you don't know what to do with?

It was big and tacky, and there Continue Reading
Painting: Tips for letting young kids paint!

In our school days, we have been talking about fall and the changes that come with this season. Having a rainy day at home, was the perfect time to paint our ceramic pumpkins! They did an awesome job, and I Continue Reading
Two-Minute Fall Decor
Yesterday, I was admiring all the fall decor in Hobby Lobby. Fall is my favorite season, and Hobby Lobby is my favorite store. So, this was a really good moment in my day. While staring at some really cute fall frames, I got the urge to buy one. I checked the prices and didn't want to spend $15 on a frame that was already %40 off. I decided I would make my own! This is what I came up with... I literally grabbed a piece of wood I already had, three frames from the dollar store, three Continue Reading
