I’ll admit it. I have a thing for mocha. Just mocha, mind you. I don’t like coffee. I do like what coffee does to chocolate. . One of my dearest go-to drinks are the kind you buy in adorable little glass bottles at the grocery store. But what to do with those ideally sized glassRead more
Can you believe its only SEVEN DAYS until Christmas? I can- because I’m surrounded with Christmas Countdowns. I might have gone a little over board this season. Usually I create one, maybe two renditions of a countdown for a holiday. I do that because different people like different things and well, I like making them.Read more
Special Thanks to Skip To My Lou for allowing me to guest post! Read the guest post here. I loved making this countdown for them! Don’t forget to stop by my Etsy Shop to check out some of the other Christmas Countdown designs, including this super cute Candy Cane stripe version! My name isRead more
I really enjoy things that do double duty. Lamp that organizes? Neat. Spatula that also plays music? Awesome. Thanksgiving Favor Box that can be used as a place card? Super cool! This box is very simple to put together. It requires just a smidge of glue, and the bottom folds to hold itself together. OnRead more
Its getting that time again! Thanksgiving is right around the corner. And since we moved into a house with a fireplace mantel, one of my favorite elements to holiday decorating is banners. They look so festive and simple draped across the mantel. Also- I’m a typography nerd, so I really like decor that focuses onRead more
My Mother’s family is rather large. She is one of 6 children, all of which have their own kids and a couple have Grandbabies too. Both of her parents are still alive, and so we have Thanksgiving at their house. Its a big deal for us all, and especially for those of us that haveRead more
Hey there email subscriber! If you are here, that means you’ve got your freebie and you are ready to make your first SayNotSweetAnne project. I hope its just the first of many! I wear a lot of hats in life, which means a lot of “juggling the panic” and staying on top of aRead more
For centuries there have been games where children pretend to divine their future. From dripping wax into water, to casting a glance through a mirror over your shoulder, to a magic 8 ball, these types of games have always been a hit party game. So, in preparation for a Halloween Party my sister is throwing,Read more
When my husband and I first started dating we were in High School. My High School allowed student groups to sell something called a “Pumpkin Gram” during the Halloween season in order to raise money. Basically they were little strips of paper you paid $1.00 for, and on Halloween they were delivered to whichever friendsRead more
To commemorate this (albeit dubiously commercial) holiday- I’ve made a card. Not just any card- mind you. A card, and an envelope with embellishments. The idea was that from one template I (or you) could make many different cards. I’m a pretty big fan of things that do dual duty, so this versatile approach reallyRead more
Its no secret that I love Hot Chocolate. I’m not big on Coffee, so it gives me something warm to hold on to and sip in the blustery winter weather. Heck, my husband and I even had a Hot Chocolate bar at our wedding! (It was February.) A couple years ago I created home-made giftsRead more
I really adore the idea of handing out special treats to every trick-or-treater this year. I’ve been wracking my brain tring to think of something that would make them smile. While I’d love to make tiny little treat boxes for every child, (and still aspire to), I have to admit that might not pan out.Read more
