Welcome to 2014! Today I’m going to share some of my favorite Craftivity Designs projects and moments from the past year. Here we go… January DIY Botanical Chart I love this botanical chart that Lora created for her guest bedroom. The colors are so cheerful! February Chalkboard Jars I had so much fun making these …
So, how many of you already have your Christmas tree packed up? Ours is still up – I love having a Christmas Tree up and like to enjoy it a couple weeks into January. One little ornament hanging on our tree is this gift that I made for Mike. It was one of his Christmas …
Erica and I love using pretty items to make our homes functional and organized {see some of our past organizational projects here}. To kick off this New Year we’ll be hosting an 8-Week Organizing Challenge and we’d love it if you would participate with us! Here’s how it will work: We will announce each week’s …
We are in our new home! We moved the Saturday right before Christmas. It was tons of work, super busy, and due to some traveling with the holidays — we are pretty much still surrounded in boxes. Oh, and we still don’t have wi-fi… so that has made the blog posting a little slow-going as …
Happy New Year!! Start the new year off right with your very own 2014 goal planning sheet! I hope all of you have a wonderful New Year’s day! We will back next week with more great projects and ideas to share.
Today, I’m going to share with you a great kids nativity set to make during the Christmas season. I will be doing this activity this upcoming Sunday with my second grade Sunday School kiddos. I didn’t create this idea but found it on Pinterest and decided to check it out and share it with all …
Over Thanksgiving break we got our Family Christmas Photos done, and I love how they turned out — thanks to my talented photographer & brother Billy Grubbs. We’ve done a photo card each year since my son was born and I’ve learned a few things over the last 3 years about getting that family Christmas …
After making a clay chalkboard several weeks ago, I had some leftover Sculpey Clay. This box of clay has gone a long way — I’ve completed four different projects and I still have some clay left. One of the tough things about moving is trying to figure out how to organize everything in a new …
Last week, in my 2nd Grade Sunday School class, our story was about the Angel Gabriel visiting Mary. The kids in my class really enjoy crafts so after we finished the story, we worked on making these fun angel ornaments using coffee filters. They’re easy to make and are a great addition to your family …
No-sew, fleece “tie” blankets are a popular — and super simple — DIY gift idea. Each year at a Women’s Retreat I attend, they make these soft blankets as a gift for families in need. One of the first steps in preparing these blankets is cutting the corners out of two pieces of fleece, leaving …
I’m so excited to share today’s project! I’ve mentioned before in previous posts about my love for polka dots, especially gold ones (see here, here, and….here!) and I also recently shared that I am inspired by Kate Spade’s colors and patterns. Kate Spade has many products that use gold polka dots in the print, like phone case, watch, …
You should be singing the title of this blog post to the tune of Five Golden Rings from the “12 Days of Christmas.” Several years ago {yes, years} I bought some unfinished wooden ducks at a craft store {Michael’s… I think…}. I loved their shape and thought I might paint them white at the time. …
Today, we are thankful for you — for reading our thoughts and ideas each week and letting us share some crafty fun with you. It really is so much fun for us. We are thankful for the families that we are cerebrating with today. Most of all, we are thankful for Jesus, what He did …
Back in July, Erica included this clay chalkboard from Kirsten in a Kick Off Friday roundup. I loved the idea, pinned it and — 4 months later — I did it! Kirsten explains how she went about creating her chalkboards, but I had never worked with Sculpey clay before. I learned a few things along …

Supplies brown cardstock twine hole punch scissors bulldog clip {or clothespin, cup hook, etc.} printer & ink free printable! Directions: Print on cardstock Cut down to size Punch holes String twine …
