  • Easy DIY Notepad

    I enjoy sharing a small gift with a friend or family member to let them know I’m thinking of them.  With this being breast cancer awareness month, I have girl power on the brain and wanted to share an easy DIY notepad with a couple of my girlfriends to let them know I care about them….

  • Small Gift Idea

    There are so many excuses in life to give a small gift to let someone know you’re thinking of them.  I love to watch that person’s face light up knowing that I care and want to let them know.  With this being breast cancer awareness month, it’s the perfect occasion to let the women in…

  • Halloween Pencil Case

    I always stock up on school supplies during the back-to-school sales.  This year I picked up a bunch of pencil cases for $.25.  I wished I’d gotten more.  In the past, I’ve put them,  filled with school supplies, in care packages like Operation Christmas Child.  This year when I saw the bright colors, I knew…

(just joking… or am I?)  Whatever the reason, it only took  me…

    If you’re like me and my friend, J., at some point you’ve stood holding an empty candle jar in your hand wondering what you could do with it instead of throwing it away.  My friend J. and I had been talking about ways to recycle those candle jars when coincidentally my son asked if we could make a…

  • DIY Dominoes

    I purchased a gold mine of crafting inspiration last week when I found a mixed bag of Jenga blocks at my local thrift store for $1.25. There’s something about repurposing those blocks that has become addictive.  Today I’ll show you an easy kids’ craft making your own diy dominoes that would also make a great…
