About Adrianne


Hello, and welcome!  I’m Adrianne, and this is my little corner of the blog-o-sphere, Happy Hour Projects, where I focus on quick and easy projects you can do in an hour or less.



You’ll find a pretty wide variety of projects – jewelry, sewing, baking – but what they have in common is that I present photo tutorials for creative things you can actually fit into a busy day.  Because like a lot of you – my days are packed!  



I’m a mom and a wife and a creative blogger, and I have an Etsy shop where I sell jewelry made from books and maps.  That’s what I enjoy during my me-time!  I have one daughter, Raya, who you will see in a whole lot of my posts.  I’m either crafting for her, or busy chasing her around trying to retrieve my supplies.  Since 18 months old, she has shared my love of bracelets, claiming any unattended piece as her own.  My husband Kevin bartends in the evenings, leaving me a little bit of quiet time after my daughter is in bed that I use to create and share.


I love crafting (especially for my daughter) and writing, so the blog has been the perfect outlet for both passions.   I have enjoyed the connections I’ve made with other bloggers and creative people so much.  I also work full-time, so while I try to make Happy Hour an interactive place and respond to as much as I can, please keep in mind that my days are pretty full.  Weekends get especially busy at my house, so you will normally hear back from me on weeknights. 



If you are looking to sponsor a giveaway here – that’s great news!  Please feel free to contact me – I’ll tell you if I think your product would be a good fit.  happyhourprojectsblog@gmail.com



I hope you take a look around and enjoy what you see, and drop me a note while you are here, because I love making new friends and meeting other creative people!
