Gifts from my sponsor Soap that Makes Scents would be perfect for Christmas, birthdays, Mother’s Day- you name it. I can almost smell them through the screen. How about this Sugared Walnut Whipped Soap? It sounds divine. Love lotions? How about this Cheeky Peach Cream Velvet Body Lotion? Doesn’t this Vanilla Frosted Cupcake Shea Butter […]
I’d like to introduce you to one of our giveaway sponsors (who is actually a personal friend of mine from high school!) Sally is a mom that creates beautiful custom bows and clothing items in her shop Bow Mama Hairbows. She sells online and can also be found in several Chicagoland stores. There are […]

I’m super excited, because next weekend I was invited to a mass card-making party! The ladies in my water aerobics class (hello!!!) are super crafty and felt I was worthy enough to join them this time around! We each picked a theme and are getting enough supplies to make 35 of the same card. We’ll […]

Make sure you check out the projects all week by clicking on the button below- it will take you to that day’s projects. I found these sweet little wooden words in the bins at Michaels.

All opinions are mine alone. #BestSummerMemories #CollectiveBias Make this personalized cooler bag to take with you as you make your summer memories this year! I cannot believe it is May already.

I wonder if any other craft bloggers will relate to what happened when I showed my boys the cute marshmallow valentines I created. They were, um, less than enthused to give them to their classmates and suddenly spouted out ideas of their own. I could have gotten upset and insisted they use what I made, but […]
How many of you remember my bathroom makeover using Cutting Edge Stencils? I still get so many compliments and it looks as good as it did when I first put it up! Cutting Edge Stencils contacted us a few weeks ago to see if we were interested in trying any of their new products. Um, […]
Welcome to another Sisters’ Challenge! Keep reading after our project for a fun giveaway! This month I challenged Laura and myself to use fabric in a project. The catch was, there was no (or very minimal) sewing allowed! I came up with a great scrap-buster that makes a great gift for a new bride as […]
I am the Primary President at my church, which means I am in charge of the children’s Sunday School at my church. Each January we kick off a new theme. This year, the theme is “I Know the Scriptures are True”. I made this sign to display on our front table each week. I bought […]
You’ve probably noticed a theme in my posts by now. I am cheap frugal. When you are a crafter, it can be a serious addiction! Having a wreath for every season, a decoration for every holiday and times in between can be expensive. So I do my best to stay in control and make amazing things […]
Thank you, Jessica from Running With Scissors. I love the bird pillow cover she designed and wanted to do a version of it for my entryway bench. I chose to do things a little differently than her tutorial, but again, a huge shout-out for providing the pattern FREE! To start with, I wanted a white […]
I love getting ready for Christmas! Our tree is up, the decorations are out, and I’m trying to fit in some time for crafting in between all the craziness that is “the holidays.” My kids have a holiday concert, our church has a Christmas party, I’m in charge of our women’s group Christmas dinner, there […]
Three Ways to Use Eggnog! (other than just drinking it by the carton…) Eggnog is an interesting seasonal treat. You either love it or you hate it. Some like it thin, some like it thick. Some add alcohol, some just detest it. But the interesting thing about it is you can’t add it to as […]
