One of my favorite and free back-to-school organization tricks costs almost nothing and makes homework time so much easier. When homework time is easier, my children do better in school and everyone is much happier (and less stressed). It’s hard to believe that it’s almost back-to-school time. That means that homework assignments are just around…
I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Banana Boat®. I received product samples to facilitate my review and a promotional item to thank me for my participation. Summer, summer, summertime means summer fun and family reunions. When I think back to my favorite childhood memories most of them revolve around…
Last month I made some fun office organizational containers using a new Mod Podge stencil. My friend, J., was over crafting that day and we used the stencil to make a cute little decorated plant pot, too. This is a quick and easy project that you could do with the kiddos and would make a sweet…
Remember when I upcycled the clementine crate with comic book pages? My son and I had so much fun with that diy project that we kept going. Fortunately, I had the perfect metal can to repurpose. In about 15 minutes (plus 20 minutes drying time) we created a super cool upcycled comic book can perfect for…
An easy way to personalize and organize your office with Mod Podge Rocks stencils and DIY Upcycled Office Organizers. I recently had the opportunity to try the new Peel and Stick Mod Podge Rocks stencils from Plaid and created by Amy who blogs at Mod Podge Rocks. To quote my son, “How cool that the Mod…
Whenever I’m out shopping, I’m always on the look out for small gifts for the kids for upcoming holidays. At the after-school-started school supplies sales, I found these metal pencil boxes for only $.88 each. I quickly grabbed 3 of them knowing I could turn them into a diy decorated box perfect for Valentine’s Day gifts…
I love repurposed craft and organizing projexts, so this upcycled comic book clementine crate is a win-win. It’s an easy and fun craft project to make with children and only costs pennies to create. Sooo-ooo, I’ve got a friend, Holly. You can find her at Pink Fortitude. She challenged me and a couple of other…
I love a quick and easy craft project using repurposed items. You may remember when I spend the day crafting with my friend, J. and we turned repurposed packaging into containers for gift giving. J. and I had lots of fun using Mod Podge to upcycle some repurposed containers into pretty and frugal gift-giving-worthy containers. While we…
I have friends that collect trash, cast-offs and junk and then give it to me to repurpose. I know I’m not the only one with such good friends. (Thanks to other bloggers I know this.) Every time it happens I’m equally giddy that they thought of me and embarrassed that when they thought,”Who should I…
I’ve always been fascinated by Altoids tins (I know I’m not alone in this one). I finally found the perfect use for repurposing one – an organizer for all those store rewards cards. I don’t know about you, but I’ve got 20+ of those store rewards cards. I think they multiply on their own…
