Happy Wednesday! It’s been a while since I’ve shared something I created using washi tape. Don’t worry, I still use my washi tape ALL the time! I just haven’t written a post about anything involving washi tape recently… But today I’m sharing something I made for some party styling…a FLORAL WALL! Well, maybe not quite […]
succulent napkin rings
Earlier this week I shared the details of the Crafternoon I hosted last week…click here and here if you haven’t read those posts. After creating terrariums, the guests enjoyed summer style boxed lunches. With the theme of the day being succulent plants, I thought it might be fun to somehow incorporate succulents into the boxed […]
vegetable garden markers
My youngest daughter has been begging me to plant a vegetable garden all spring. I find this quite ironic considering that, for the most part, she avoids eating vegetables! However, I did think this endeavor might encourage her to snack on a few carrots or cucumbers every so often…so we took on a new project […]

With my oldest daughter off to college this year, I’m spending a lot of my time at the post office mailing cards, packages, and letters to her. Everyone loves receiving mail, especially college students who are living away from home! Today I’m sharing a fun and easy idea to liven up your envelopes with washi […]

Grace turned 16 this week…sweet sixteen! Such a fun milestone birthday, so of course we have a special celebration planned this weekend.

cardboard boat regatta
We had some fun participating in a cardboard boat regatta a few weeks ago! We’ve been spectators at this event several times, but this year we decided to give it a go and create our own boat. The rules are that the boat can only be constructed using cardboard and duck tape, and that there […]

picture perfect flowerpot
Mother’s Day is just around the corner, so it’s time to start thinking about ways to thank mom (or grandma) for all she does! My favorite gifts have always been the handmade kind…they are priceless, and they come from the heart. I still love the stepping stones that my girls (and their dad) made for […]
washi wednesday–may day baskets
May Day baskets are a tradition of simpler times. People would gather all the flowers that the April showers brought and arrange them in pretty baskets, and then hang them on the doors of friends and neighbors as a way of welcoming the warmer weather. Of course, May Day is not celebrated by many people […]
washi wednesday–containers
If you’re a mom of girls, you probably have bobby pins and hairbands scattered around your house, car, and purse. They are everywhere! Of course, we never seem to be able to find one when needed…my girls are always digging through my purse to find a hairband! As I was throwing out some empty prescription […]
