A lot of schools are starting to finish up. My kiddos get out on May 29th! I am so excited for summer to begin, but I have to thank those who have taught my kids so much this past year. I’m always torn on what to do for teachers. There are lots of cute ideas […]
Welcome to the Handmade Hangout- where you can link up all things made by YOU! This week I’m featuring three of my favorite projects from last week’s linky. I love these Typography Coloring Sheets from The Scrap Shoppe Blog! Have you jumped on the adult coloring craze? It’s so relaxing! These Root Beer Float Cupcakes […]
It’s March! I can’t believe it’s already time to be thinking about all things spring and Easter! Did March come in like a “lion” or a “lamb” for you? Here in Phoenix it’s been in the high 80’s, and we’ve been soaking up the sunshine before it gets too crazy hot. I’ve also been busy […]

Welcome to Scrappin’ Wednesday, where I get to share a little about my family and with you through my digital scrapbook pages! Today I’m sharing a layout I created to show off some portraits we had taken at my sister-in-law’s wedding. I wish I had gotten some great pictures of the reception. Her wedding was a carnival […]
It doesn’t seem like specimen art is terribly popular right now. In fact when searching for inspiration for my Thanksgiving version there was nothing. Good thing I had an idea already! I wanted turkey feathers of all different colors and styles. I knew this meant I had to do a lot of cutting of the […]

Today I’m sharing a delicious gift you can share with your neighbors, friends, and your children’s teachers this holiday season. I’m a sucker for anything mini (well, except mini-skirts!) There’s something so cute about something in miniature. So, these mini loaves of bread, paired with a fun card, make a perfect gift. I like to […]

Man, I wish I had a rotary cutter. Consider that next on my “to buy” list. I had this old stretched out shirt that I never wear, so I thought it would be perfect for a refashion. Enter the Knot-Tee from Brassy Apple! I certainly don’t have the cute figure she has, and I did […]
In the past few weeks boy scouts all across the country have participated in one of their favorite events of the year, the Pinewood Derby. My boys are still a little young for scouts, but someday we will join in the fun of making our own car and racing against the other boy scouts in […]
Do you ever buy something even when you know you could actually make it yourself? Sometimes I’m just not in the mood for crafting but I want something now? Sometimes I’m just feeling lazy 🙂 Sometimes I just can’t quite put the idea together in my mind, but someone else already did! This project is […]
