I have a lot of relatives with birthdays in early January. Rather than be one of those lame-os who gives out “holiday/birthday” gifts, I like to find a way to give them something thoughtful on both special occasions. It can get tough, though. After the holidays, I’m tired, broke, and fresh out of ideas. After […]
Learning how to make your own snow globe has become a favorite activity for crafters of all ages. That’s because when you make a snow globe, you bring a touch of winter magic right into your home. Many other winter decorations are lovely, but they just don’t have that same whimsical appeal as a simple […]
I have had this green Ball jar in my stash for quite some time but didn’t have an idea for what to make with it. Well, being that it’s time to decorate for St. Patrick’s Day I thought I’d combine it with two of my favorite things- plants from my yard and battery powered tea […]

Christmas is the prime time for all you crafty people, bringing […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
