Wooden Chalkboard Plant Markers
I was at Michael’s craft store the other day and saw a set of these of rectangular plant markers by Martha Stewart and thought they looked pretty fun and functional. When I took them to check out, they rang up $12.99…yikes!, they were in the wrong bin and I wasn’t about to pay that price […]

Fun Easter Idea/Tradition – Magic Jelly Bean Seeds
I found this idea right AFTER Easter last year…of course! So I’ve waited a whole year to do it and I can’t wait to see the expression on my 3 (almost 4!) year old’s face when she sees the magical transformation of these jelly beans. If you own a silhouette, this is literally a 5 […]
View PostSt. Patrick’s Day Treat and Printable – Leprechaun Munch
I have to say, this treat turned out so tasty. It was a total experiment and we loved the result–the combination of mint and chocolate with a little salty crunch was just right. Pretty much all of our supplies came from one of our favorite local kitchen stores, Orson Gygi. You can order supplies from […]
Large Scale Pottery Barn Inspired Mirror
Remember this post? Here is what the finished product looks like. It was a bit of a process to make but I love the finished product. $15 dollars in mirrors (8 1/2 x 11) from the dollar store and and another $45 or so in materials (molding, plywood backing, glue, paint, hanging materials etc.). […]
Meet Carameled Frapplestein
He’s a pretty dapper not-so-scary kind of dude. We like carameled apples around here, but they taste excessively sweet to me when fully drenched in caramel. So this was a good compromise. Here’s how we made him: Hair: Caramel and miniature chocolate chips. Use good caramel like the one sold here (great tips for carameled […]
Modern Chic Tiered Serving Tray
I entered this in Studio Five’s $5 Craft Challenge today. It was so fun to make and turned out so cute that I want to make many, many more. So if you receive one as a gift….. My favorite part about this project is it’s versatility. The components dis-assemble so that you can 1) store […]
Favorite Find-Mirrors
Found these at the dollar store today: 8 1/2″ x 11″ mirrors framed in wood…in 4 colors! My experience with mirrors this size at the dollar store is that they do not last long. Good luck finding them again if you don’t buy them now. Project Glimpse: I am going to make a large-scale mirror […]
Favorite Finds-An Explanation
Okay, here’s what I’ve decided. I keep running into this problem where I buy supplies from a store with a big idea/project in mind and by the time I get around to actually creating that project (for numerous reasons), it is irrelevant for you because the supplies are wiped out or no longer available. So […]
Heart Hands
So this should have been a Valentine post, but I was so overwhelmed with moving at the time that I was lucky just to get the shot and get a few cards off to grandma and gramps. Little K did NOT want to do the picture and we pretty much forced her hand in right […]
