Creativity in an hour or less
Do you do a lot of crafting with your kids, or do you find it to be a real challenge? Kadie over at Seven Alive just ran a week themed toward crafting with your kiddos, and there were some amazing projects, ideas, and suggestions shared for combating the mess and chaos and focusing instead on… Continue Reading…
Well, we got a head start on our Earth Day project for this year, and while it’s not all ready, the first part is a project in itself, so I wanted to share part one with you, which are some seed paper tags that you can plant right in your pot or garden, and are… Continue Reading…
I’ve been in a bit of a funk lately. Part of it is that winter seems never-ending, part of it is that we’ve been awfully busy with home improvement (read: not crafty) stuff, and the last bit of it is that I really think being pregnant robs me of some of my creative juices. I’m… Continue Reading…
Today’s post is more of a what-I’ve-been-up-to than an actual tutorial. I did make up some simple subway-art-style Valentines, so I will show those to you, but Subway art is *everywhere* and a lot of bloggers do it a lot better than me. But these save on ink, and *I happen to think* they… Continue Reading…
We are full-swing into handmade Valentines this year, and I am loving it! Raya even made one for Grandma yesterday that is too cute not to share. If you have kiddos who are just becoming artists, you will love this idea! Many thanks to Meredith at Wait Til Your Father Gets Home for originally sharing… Continue Reading…
Yes, this is a potty training post. But if you’ve got kiddos potty training now, or coming up on it, it’s also a DIY-post and you might get some use out of it, so don’t be afraid, LOL. We will hardly be talking *actual* potty at all today. I’ve gotten a LOT of tips from… Continue Reading…
Happy Monday to you all! Normally I try to avoid sharing projects where you need specialty equipment (like my beloved Silhouette Cameo) unless you can also achieve the result with a little hand-work… but today is going to be an exception to that. If you DO have a Silhouette machine, today will be awesome because… Continue Reading…
I always enjoy New Year’s Eve, even since we do old things like have an early dinner out and (hopefully stay up long enough to) watch the ball drop on TV. I don’t know why the start of a new year seems so fresh with possibilities… it just does. Since we don’t have a big… Continue Reading…
Last weekend, my writers’ group was fortunate to be able to use the studio of a local non-profit so we could all get together. There was a pot-luck of over 50 of us – it was a great day! So I brought a big card for everyone to sign to thank them for allowing us… Continue Reading…
I have a quick little paper craft for you today – an easily cut and folded treat pouch that’s the perfect size for lunch boxes, or to sneak onto a favorite co-worker’s desk. You may have seen this already when I shared it at 4 You With Love for Marilyn’s blog-o-versary last week. But in… Continue Reading…
...and welcome! I'm Adrianne. I'm a wife and a mom who has a penchant for all things DIY. I also work full-time, so finding time for those fun projects can be a challenge!
