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. …
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 …
Lately, I’ve been into painting and playing around with watercolors. I love polka dots (like my gold drawer knobs, polka dot napkins, and ampersand art), so I used my new paints to create a fun polka dot picture. Want to make your own? Here’s what you will need: Paints (I used watercolor but you can use …
Recently I posted about a project using a gold leaf paint pen, check it out here! Let me warn you…using a paint pen can be addicting. After adding polka dots to my white ceramic ampersand, I starting looking for other items in my home to add a little gold touch. Two frames caught my eye that …
I love gold and I love polka dots so what better than a project that combines two of my favorite things! A few weeks ago, Lora and I went to an awesome yard sale put on by Repurposed Soul where I picked up this great white ampersand! If you live in the Lexington/Nicholasville, KY area, …
Well, change of plans, folks. Lora’s husband, Mike, was going to be sharing Part 2 of the Window Seat (See Part 1 here) project today — but Lora and I are pretty tough on our deadlines {not really} and he missed it. Not that moving and starting a new job has anything to do with …
Isn’t Pinterest just so much fun; but so overwhelming, too? I think there might be 8 Million different DIY Wreath ideas on Pinterest. Maybe a few less. But, hey, who’s counting? I needed some small wreaths for my front porch; to hang on these guys: No, they didn’t stay brown. They got a new coat …
Working as an event planner, I have multiple events going on each month so I must be organized in order to make the events successful. To bring in both color and organization to my office, I created a bright fabric covered cork board. This project was so much fun to complete! It cost less than …
How was your Memorial Day Weekend? We spent time with family and friends, ate hamburgers at least 3 different times and spent practically every minute (except sleeping) outdoors. Our little boy is covered in scratches and bruises from playing hard, but he LOVED it. #3dayweekend I’ve been hearing the song, Cornerstone, by Hillsong at church …
On Monday I shared my DIY Wooden Spoon Herb Markers and you got a glimpse of my blue herb planters too. We had these faux-stone {actually plastic} planters leftover from the previous owners. Instead of tossing them, we kept them around, thinking a coat of spray paint might fix ’em up. And now I love …
While browsing on Pinterest, I came across this fun little craft project by Landee See Landee Do. Her tutorial seemed simple and easy to follow so I gave it a try. Anyone can create this project–just choose your favorite fabrics and get started! TIP: Use solid styrofoam balls instead of the kind with small holes …
On the search for some herb markers? Look no further than this simple craft project, Wooden Spoon Herb Markers. They’ll add a happy pop of color to the herb garden for only a few bucks. My mom was in town this weekend and we visited the local Peddlar’s Mall. I had been trying to decide …
