Well, last week sure was a doozy.  I had a great, quiet Thanksgiving with my family, who were pretty much all sick.  How about you?  I really enjoyed the time off from driving kids to school, dance, and everywhere else.  Being sick sometimes makes you stop and just be- which we often forget to do […]

I’m getting hooked on washi tape. It’s really kind of adorable, and there are so many fun things you can do with it. I am trying to resist the urge to buy one of every color and pattern I see.  Target even has some.  Did you know that?  I found black polka dot in the […]

I have a slight fear of power tools, one I really need to get over!  I make my husband cut my wood for me.  But we still don’t own a scroll saw, or jig saw, or whatever they are called.  We don’t have anything to make shaped cut-outs.  So, I order mine instead! One website […]

Thank you to Janet at Today’s Fabulous Finds for the inspiration.  I have bookmarked about five different homemade pumpkin projects, and haven’t made any of them!  When I saw her 2×4 pumpkins, I knew I had everything on hand except the paint, so I decided these were the ones!  Plus, they are just adorable. Here’s […]

One of my responsibilities at church is to plan activities for girls ages 8-11, which are called Activity Days girls. Twice a year, we plan a Recognition night to showcase the girls, their talents, and what they have achieved over the last six months. This was my first one and I was excited to plan […]

My daughter’s birthday was yesterday!  I can’t believe she’s 7- time surely does fly in the overall scheme of things. She loves everything pink and girly, so I decided to make her a pink ruffle cake.  I’ve never done anything like this before.  I turned to this video for guidance, and here’s how it turned […]

Remember my bare beginnings of a craft room? At least it was some work space, but it needed more. Here she is without all my craft supplies. And here it is all set up! And here’s a close up of my favorite part, the peg board. This 2′ by 4′ section was only $6.99 at […]

Three Books I’ve Really Enjoyed Recently I know I don’t typically review books here, but reading is probably my number one favorite thing to do! Yes, I love it even more than making things.  You can almost always find me with my nose in a book (or in my Kindle).  So I thought it would […]
