Way back in 2011, my free printable planners were one of the first things I shared on the site. At the time it was a blogger’s planner, and it took off like a rocket on Pinterest. That initial success really helped me to believe in myself as a blogger, and to keep sharing my DIYRead more
I don’t know what it is about me and calendars. From my printable planners, to countdowns, to my paper advent calendar, I just find myself drawn to these types of things. This printable advent calendar is a labor of love that started last November. I didn’t get it completed in time to use last year,Read more
It is finally Fall here. The beautiful sights of orange, red, and yellow Michigan leaves stir up visions of warm sweaters and hot coffee. It is time to break out the Pumpkin Skin Mask, and make some Chai Ice Cream and Acorn Squash. We bought our fall mums for the front porch, and a beautifulRead more
Back when this blog first started, papercrafts were my thing. Paper peonies / paper flowers remind me of when I was cranking out templates right and left. Every post had a printable, and every design was made from paper. Since then I’ve become a bit more broad in my projects and craft materials, but paper still holds aRead more

I have memories of this origami boat as far back as 6 years old. My mom taught me how to fold it, and we took our boats to the creek behind our apartment to watch them sail. I distinctly remember also “finding” leeches on that trip too – the hard way. At the time, IRead more

This post is sponsored by Basic Invite – all opinions are my own. Ever wanted a DIY Graduation Invitations do over? I do. Being the older sister, especially to siblings that are 10+ years younger than me, often gives me an interesting perspective. In a way, the things they do are “old hat” to me.Read more
This is a sponsored post for StoryWorth. All opinions, and printables are my own. It has been quite the pleasant surprise to notice my feelings on Father’s Day transform over the past few years. After my Dad’s death in 2008, I stopped celebrating. Then, slowly, in the fullness of time I began to celebrate my memories ofRead more
Spring, Easter, Mother’s Day – all of these are reasons to celebrate in my house. We are so tired of being cooped up inside that we are all looking forward to spring with incredible anticipation. Easter means celebration and renewal of faith, the end of our lenten journey and tons of food and family. I’mRead more
From Cricut to Silhouette to Cut N Boss, cutting machines have become a staple in the paper crafter’s workshop. Why not? They do amazing things with paper and vinyl, like adorable Peep Birdhouses for Easter, or high-end looking foil artwork. I’ve even used mine to make tabbed dividers for organization. And you can add this amazing trick to theRead more
This post has been sponsored by fontbundles.net, all opinions are my own. As a graphic designer, there are a few stereotypes that are often attributed to me. That I love coffee (sorta true. I love coffee + chocolate), that I love Apple (not true – gasp!), and that I love fonts (definitely true). While IRead more
