I have to say, when I first entered the crafting world, toilet paper roll crafts were definitely not on my radar. I was all about scrapbooking projects and printables, not to mention sewing. I can make a mean pillow, ya’ll. But toilet paper roll crafts? Uhhh no way. At first, I was really hesitant about […]

I’m always changing up my art and color palette. After Valentine’s Day when things are all red and pink around the house and then St. Patrick’s Day when everything is green, I’m ready for some blues. This word “Art” is easy to make using scrap pieces of thin wood, a variety of paint colors, and […]

She has a special talent for taking the simplest ingredients and making something uniquely delicious. For a lot of her dinnertime staples, she doesn’t even use a recipe because she’s had so much practice making them. It is […]
