OH man, I love mercury glass. I just love it. It’s so shiny and pretty and makes any decor look a just a little bit more fancy. The price tag of most mercury glass, however, I am not totally in love with. Well, it turns out, it’s really, really easy to make your own…Read More
I made these cute little bottle for my niece when she turned one. Sensory bottles provide a variety of learning experiences for preschoolers and kids of all ages. They just love them. They are a great little project to make and the kids can get involved. My niece really enjoyed them. She has two older brothers, so there…Read More
Happy Spring, everyone! We’ve been busy around here cleaning up the yard, planting pretty things, and generally just sprucing up the place. I love entertaining and having cookouts this time of year. Hanging out on the deck with friends! FUN! I decided we were in need of some new outdoor candles, since ours came out of…Read More
I saw a banner like this in the window display of an awesome little eclectic shop the other day. I knew I had to make one! The best part…….It was FREE! What you need: An old book (actually, it doesn’t have to be old….you can go and get one from the Dollar Store or your bookshelf or…Read More
I really love wreaths. It’s a strange obsession of mine. I have a whole board on Pinterest dedicated just to wreaths. Yeah, I know, I’m a weirdo. It’s OK. :) I’ve been seeing succulent wreaths popping up on good old Pinterest lately. Made with REAL succulents. I love the way they look! So cool. I love…Read More
This sweet little craft of mail-able hugs was so easy. The kids loved it. (They would honestly put paint-y hand prints on stuff everyday, if I let them.) I ripped this idea out of a Family Fun magazine from a few years ago (pre-Pinterest), and now I can’t find a link. Sorry. Annnyway…… These are…Read More
I’m at We Use Coupons sharing how to make this DIY Springtime Moss Rock Wreath today. It turned out so cute and only cost $7.00 to make! I love the way it looks on my mantle and on my door. I can’t decide where to keep it. So, right now I move just it around!…Read More
We had a snow day and some cold temperatures this week. So, the kids and I made these stained ‘glass’ frozen sun catchers. It was a great activity. They really got into it. I love the way they look on our porch. (You can tell kids live here.) And the day after we hung…Read More
I saw these clever DIY bird feeders on Pinterest before Christmas. The pin led me here, to one of my favorite blogs, Eighteen 25. I love it when that happens. We made them and gave them out as homemade gifts. They are so cute and the kids loved making them. (Anything that makes a mess). …Read More
I really like this sweet “green” shamrock garland, just in time for St. Patrick’s Day. It was such an easy craft and I just love the way it turned out. The kids thought it was great, too. Getting covered in green paint is pretty awesome when you are 3 and 5. You only need a…Read More
