I know this time of year we are all flooded with cutesy printables and paper valentines. There are punny ones, monster ones, easy ones and hard ones. I almost hate to add to the overload, but I made these printable valentines to be a little different. You see, these printable valentines are meant to becomeRead more
So, I’ve been working on this basement ice cream shop for a while now. And while I’ve used candy as a decoration in the past, I’d like some sort of baked good under glass for a table center. The trouble is, cupcakes don’t last. Or do they? I’m not entirely sure where I first hearRead more
This project has to be one of my favorites in a long time. It was one of those things where almost everything came together as I planned it. Also- I did it over a period of days and didn’t feel to stressed about it. In this era of home-buying-madness, there is little that I don’tRead more
Remember those 3D Paper Earrings I made last summer? Well, its been almost a year and they are still going strong. The paper has held up REALLY well, and even though I let one of them sit in a puddle of water by the bathroom sink for several hours- it dried right back to perfection.Read more
Valentine’s day is over, but that doesn’t mean the fun has to stop! Today I’ve got a super easy and cute party game that is sure to entertain little girls for hours. Do you remember on the school bus or playground, spending hours playing games to find out who we would marry? From cootie catchersRead more
I’ll admit it. For all of his flaws (and mine) my hubby is awesome. He is kind and smart, attentive and supportive. So, every now and than I like to give him a little something to show him that I care. Nothing too big, just enough to let him know that I was thinking aboutRead more
I saw this wonderful paper basket post from 2009 on The Little Blue Room, and thought it was SO CUTE! So, the next step was to make a cutting file for the paper basket, so that I could make multiples in a flash for Easter. And the step after THAT is sharing them all withRead more
Throughout my childhood there were 2 notable holidays that I looked forward to. Christmas because, well- PRESENTS! And Easter. Why? Because after my mom got me all gussied up in some itchy uncomfortable dress and hauled me to church, I got to go to Grandma’s for Easter dinner and an egg hunt. It was theRead more
When Amy from One Artsy Mama contacted me a few weeks ago about her awesome Holiday round of posts- I spent some time trying to think of traditions that I could craft out of. My family is very large- and we’ve got a lot of really great traditions- but how do I make a guestRead 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
