Lately, my daughter has been TOTALLY into accessories. The problem with them is that they cost a fortune when I buy them from the store, and they tend to get lost. Well, I have solved both of those problems– now we make all our own accessories, so they’re cheap, and since she worked super hard …
Stuff You Won't Make
Truth be told, scrapbooking is something I love to do, but don’t have much time for it anymore. I was looking back at some of my scrapbook projects I’ve done in the past, and I found this altered spring time altoid tin. Now, if I can just figure out what pictures I want to …
Okay, so here’s the thing. Sometimes people say Duct Tape, and sometimes people say Duck Tape, because that’s a brand of Duct Tape. But, I am going with Duct Tape. 🙂 Want to know hot to make a cheer bow from Duct Tape? Here’s a video tutorial!
I have a new bow video! You know you want to watch it!
Okay, so I own piles and piles of beads. No really, I do. I can’t help it. I can’t stop buying them. They’re so freakin’ pretty. I love them. I even have string, and tools for making jewelry, I just can’t make it all look beautiful. Every time I try, it ends up looking like …
What can I say, it’s that time of year again where I have to make a ridiculous amount of cheerish things. And so… new year, new cheer bow!
So I googled, “How to Make a Cheer Bucket” and came up with about two hits. Craap. That meant I was on my own. Turns out, though– they’re not all that difficult. You just hit the after homecoming sales, pick up some cute dangly football stuff and some cute cheerleader stickers– grab some fuzzy boa …
Today’s video is how to make a hair bow. Man, I had no idea how-to videos were so hard to make! I need more practice!
I love a good craft,*and lately I’ve been all about making bows. So, I decided my daughter’s team needed giant cheer bows. And, because I’ve learned the importance of research when it comes to hand-making stuff, (seriously, you can save loads of cash with a simple google search) I tried to find out how to …
The thing about writing is… sometimes you have to wait. It’s pretty much the toughest part of the job. What? You thought it was writing? Oh, heck no… that’s the FUN part… the part we all love to do so much that we’re willing to endure the other crap that goes alone with it. … …
Today, I’m going to do something special*… I’m going to let you in on how I put together a blog post. This isn’t the way I always do it, but this is what usually works for me. This is what gets comments and retweets on twitter. And, if we’re being completely honest, isn’t that what …
So, on Saturday we spent the day at the annual Butterfly Flutterby and we had a lot of fun. We had to get there pretty early in full costume, but Halle got to walk in a parade. (Something she has been begging to do lately.) And, she even got to be on the news! She …
Well, it has been a long time since I scrapped anything… but I have been loving this pic of hal for a while now, so I decided to give it a go. I really like this digital scrapping thing… it is QUICK. I mean… I guess a lot of times things look like things other …
I get asked about this a lot, and I was over commenting on a friend’s blog about starting up a crafting community when I realized I wasn’t just writing a comment… I was writing a blog post, so I decided to post my response comment to her post here. These are just a couple of …
So, this little outfit took me forever, but I finally finished it! Halle looks so adorable in it! I love the style of this shirt! Her little back looks sooo cute, but she keeps saying to me “mom there’s a big hole in the back of my shirt…” 🙂 I REALLY like the shirt… I …
Okay, so I fell in love with the cutest little pincushions on ebay… and instead of buying them, I decided to just make my own! So, at first… it was tough… but I decided to just take my TIME and bam… PINCUSHION! So here is my funky skull and crossbones pincushion of awesomeness… (and yes, …
Well, I worked my butt off, spent ALL day and night… and I came up with a dress… I am not a HUGE fan of the fabric, but it is cute… and it was on the dollar aisle, so I figured I should go with it. I think I spent more on my bias tape …
I did a little tutorial on the shabby princess website, and here is the digital scrapbook layout I came up with. These are fun!
So, those of you that know me know just how much I love Halloween… apparently enough to spend all my spare time making this tutu! How cute was Halle at the Pumpkin patch???
Well, I think this is the last ‘doodley’ class for a while, and to be honest, it really isn’t all THAT doodley. But, I really like it, and I can’t WAIT to teach it. 🙂
thought I would post my July project 🙂 I have decided to make the project easier, and then work more on doodling in the class 🙂
So, today I decided to actually use Basic Grey! This is a big deal, and I have never been a Basic Grey girl AT ALL before, but I decided that I am really digging on this new Phoebe line, and I thought it would be just the thing for my little Valentine’s Day Layout. I …
Ladies and Gentlemen (Do boys even read my blog?) I have finished my first doodling class project! Here it is in all its glory! Oh, I hope it isn’t too out of the box! I hope it is just the right amount of ‘in the box, while dancing around on the outer edges’ for everyone! …

So, one of my girls found these super cute giant clothespins on another website, and I decided to try my hand at one. I really like the way it turned out. Even if I am not a fan of Junkitz Rub Ons… they just don’t glide like the Gin-X ones do…. seriously Gin-X Rub-ons are …
Okay, so remember those old black and white composition books you used to write in when you were in school? I have always loved them, and I saw the coolest thing the other day…so I decided that I HAD to copy it! I headed on over to the Dollar Tree and I picked up a …
I am finally scrapbooking again! and it feels soooo good hehe! I finally sat down and did a page… I owe it all to Ali Edwards. She said “Don’t scrap chronologically” in this month’s Creating Keepsakes, so I decided to listen! Huh, to think… all I had to do was listen to a scrapbooking legend …
