My Life as a DIY Wannabe
I really didn’t have anything to post today, but I recently stumbled across my friend Chelsea’s Etsy shop and just had to share… mostly because it’s absolutely hilarious! Chelsea (from the über hip DIY craft blog Two Twenty One and my partner-in-crime at the Haven conference) started an Etsy shop called Tacky Treasures specializing in [...]
The Christmas season is {almost} upon us! There are so many fun, family-oriented things that I want to accomplish… baking cookies, visiting Santa, ice skating… So to help me plan out the festive season, I’ve created a fun little Christmas Bucket List! The idea is to put this Fall Bucket List printout in an 8×10 inch [...]
Yep, the holidays are fast approaching… can you believe it?! Seems like only yesterday it was 110 degrees outside and I was wishing for snow. Well now that I’m getting prepped for the Christmas season, gifts are on my mind! I thought I would break out my Silhouette Cameo to spruce up some plain gift [...]
I’m all about fast & easy (and cheap!) holiday decorating this year! … and I’m sure many of you are the same. So here’s a great project that anyone can do and it only takes 3 supplies. After creating my Fall Hurricane Centerpiece the other week, I still had some extra candles and glass vases [...]
The holidays are right around the corner and it’s time to update my iPhone case with some new bling. I have to admit… this project is so stinkin’ cheap and easy, yet my absolute favorite! I first posted this idea back in October of 2011 and it was a huge hit. Now I love updating [...]
To get you guys prepared ahead of time for the holiday season, I thought I would share some cool printables for a fun & festive gathering… a Cookie Exchange! These party printables including an invitation, recipe cards, voting cards, and even winner ribbons! C’mon, let’s get started! _________________________________________________________ First up is the invitation for the [...]
My mother-in-law had surgery this past week which means all of the girls in my hubby’s family need to pitch in a little bit more than usual for Christmas dinner. As mentioned before, I’m not the best cook in the world, but I’m not too shabby with an easy recipe or fun new idea. So [...]
Last week I came across this GORGEOUS Christmas ornament garland from Creative Outlets of a Thrifty Minded Momma while surfing Pinterest. Thought this would be the perfect last minute project to spruce up my home before the holidays. So instead of using castoff ornaments like the one above, I purchased a couple of packages from the [...]
OK, I have to admit… I’m not the best chef in the world. In fact, I only have about 5 dishes that I can make really well. Since I’ve been reading more blogs and spending countless hours on Pinterest looking at delicious recipes, I’ve decided that it’s time to hunker down and try new things! [...]
Well Christmas is fast approaching and I find myself running out of time to complete extensive new projects for the holiday season. Between shopping, birthdays (both my hubby and my daughter are this week), and holiday parties, I’m short on time… and patience! So while trying to organize my craft closet, I ran across a [...]
