Today I'm excited to share this easy DIY Valentine's Wreath with you! It is made out of paper punched from an old book (or a dollar store book) and 4 pieces of glitter cardstock, so it is very cheap to make- only $3.50 total!! It is pretty and unique, and is so easy, anyone can make it (my four-year-old helped me with this one)! This wreath can be made for ANY holiday, you just have to switch out the colors. If you've been with me from the beginning, then you've seen a similair ... [ Read More ]
How to Organize Lego Instruction Booklets
If you have kids, then you probably have Legos. And if you have Legos, then you probably have Lego instruction books floating around your house, getting bent and torn and lost. I have a solution for you! I have four kids, and massive amounts of Lego sets, so my husband and I came up with this method of keeping our Lego instruction books nice and neat and organized. I've noticed that my kids play with their Legos more, now that they each have their own organized binder of instruction ... [ Read More ]
How to Glitter an Object
Learn how to glitter an object with this fun tutorial! I am proud of this little Valentine's project, because it is very cute and super sparkly, but also because it only cost me 30 cents to make!!

The cool thing about these pillow covers are that they are removable, so you can switch out covers without having to buy new inserts every time you want to switch it up. And you don't even have to ... [ Read More ]
Gold Magnolia Wreath
Lately I've kind of had a thing for gold, and have been wanting to include some gold in my Christmas decorating. I love the large, solid leaves of Magnolia trees, so I decided to make a Magnolia leaf wreath, and then spray paint the whole thing a beautiful metallic gold. I LOVE the result!

Wood Advent Calendar Activity Coins + Free Printable
I am so excited to share these Wood Advent Calendar Activity Coins with you today!! I made a beautiful Felt Advent Calendar that I shared with you yesterday, but I needed the activities to put inside. I didn't want to just write the activities on a piece of folded up paper- that's no fun! I wanted something more concrete and sturdy. Like wood. I used little round wood discs that I bought at Michaels, and used a transfer method that I'll teach you to transfer the activities that I printed ... [ Read More ]
