Valentine Gift in a Mason Jar at www.happyhourprojects.com

Like most of you, I think gifts in jars are particularly adorable!  They're so easy to put together, and a little bit of paper can turn in from a plain jar into a clever gift container.  This little treat-filled jar would be just as cute for a small-sized gift like jewelry, or even little baked ...

Always Be A Unicorn Stamped Cuff Bracelet

Always Be A Unicorn Stamped Cuff Bracelet at www.happyhourprojects.com

There is a phrase going around (or maybe it's just going around in my circles) that I am totally in love with.  Always be yourself.  Unless you can be a unicorn, then, always be a unicorn.  I mean... it just sums up how fabulous and rare any person being true to themselves can be!  So whenever I get ...

How to Give a Personalized Locket Gift

How To Give a Living Locket Gift at www.happyhourprojects.com

So as much as I love personalized lockets - because they are personal - it can be a really hard gift to give to someone you don't know really, really well.  I mean, my locket has all kinds of details about me inside.  But for most of my friends, there's really only one or two things I know about ...

Best of 2014 at www.happyhourprojects.com

Wow, this has been a heck of a year! I made some big changes this year, ditching the day job for working from home and writing full-time. I have LOVED being home with my family, even if most days feel like pure chaos. I've gotten a lot of great opportunities out of it, like having time to pursue my ...

Hello, and welcome! I'm Adrianne, an artist, author, designer, and blogger in mid Michigan. I work from home, chase my two kids, and this once-city-girl is learning how to care for chickens and adjusting to life out in the country. I have a compulsion for daily creativity... sometimes it's jewelry-making, paper crafting, metal stamping, mixing and baking, or giving new life to recycled items. But with 2 young kids, time is short! My goal here at Happy Hour Projects is to share projects and tips that you can do in an hour or less. The ideas you find here are designed to add a little creativity in your day, no matter how much (or how little) time you have!
