I love craft materials that make it easy to personalize anything. The appeal of Washi tape is that you can easily make something yours, and add some personality to something boring. For example, if you take a plain black notebook and decorate the cover in colorful tape, it adds instant uniqueness. Washi tape has been […]
Happy Earth Day, fellow cheap eaters and thrifty crafters! I don’t know about you, but I plan on celebrating this glorious day by stepping outside of the office as much as I can (sneakily, of course), taking my dog Brody for a walk or two, and working on some recycled crafts. I’m not sure if […]
The most romantic day of the year is just around the corner, and what better way to show your loved ones that you care than with a few Valentine’s Day crafts and recipes? Sure. Store-bought chocolates could do the trick (depending on your loved one, of course), as could those fun pop culture-themed valentines that […]
I have a lot of relatives with birthdays in early January.

It’s pretty astounding that Halloween is this week. If you’re like me, you’ve been dreaming of Halloween all year, yet October is just breezing by. Usually, I’d have a ton of Halloween crafts done by now, and many crafters are already started on Christmas. My creative side is tsk-tsking at me. It’s not too late, […]
There’s nothing more gorgeous than an autumn day at twilight. I love taking a stroll around my neighborhood as the leaves blow around, seeing all the hazy colors of the season. It’s even more beautiful when I pass yards with the perfect mood lighting—twinkling lights or hanging lanterns. Beautiful outdoor lighting definitely adds to the […]
For most of us in the working world, our cubicles and office desks become our second homes. It’s where we spend the majority of our days; we work at our desks, we chat with co-workers at our desks, we eat at our desks…If you work at all in the corporate world, you are essentially living […]
