Happy Holiday Simple Cutout Card at www.happyhourprojects.com

So I seem to have gotten myself into a situation this season when I made a couple of handmade cards.  Because now... how do you send some from a box, and some that I made myself?  And what complicates things more is, my husband is all excited about making our own cards this year, … [Read more...]

Subway Art Valentine

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 … [Read more...]

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!
