By now you realize that I’m a bit pin board crazy. You have to understand, in a home full of little artists you need plenty of spaces to display artwork, inspiration, and other items. So when I found this ugly picture of a cherub in a beautiful frame at Goodwill for a buck, I had […]
Hostess Gift: A DIY Basketful of Spring
Looking for the perfect hostess gift for that Spring party or Easter dinner you’ve been invited to? I saw these gorgeous wire bags via Pottery Barn (currently no longer available), and thought it would make a lovely hostess gift! Even better, you can make 3 or 4 wire bags yourself for the cost of one roll of […]
DIY Hairclip Holding Art
I’m working on the art grouping in my kids Jack & Jill bathroom, when I realize that I’ve misplaced the glass to one of my frames. Aw bum. I am tearing the place up looking for this tall thin piece of glass, but to no avail! I am terrified one of the kids will “find […]
DIY Key Organizer
Today I’m making key holders for my coat closet. I can hear my kids saying “don’t they sell those things at stores Mom? You’re just making it because you like making stuff”. Yeaaaaahhh. Have you ever gotten an idea in your head you just couldn’t let go? Even in the face of a good deal, […]

DIY Pin & Magnetic Board
Something needed to go above my daughters dresser, it looked a bit sparse sitting in the corner all by its lonesome. Mirror? Or perhaps a few framed photos? I love the look of a finely decorated wall space, but I’m also a die hard practical. Finally I settled on something I knew my ever artistic […]
Paint Chip Labels
I loooooooove labels. Hanging labels, tags, sticky labels, you name it! I am always thrilled when I find those scrumptious name brand labels on super sale, but even those can start to add up. So to save my pocket book for other fantastic things I want to buy, I started using paint chips to make my […]
Scrapbook Paper Art
My friend ‘L’ made these fantastic little Scrapbook Paper art canvasses for my daughters room. I loved the idea of something so simple, yet so cute as art for a child’s room. Doesn’t it remind you of a hanging patchwork quilt? Creating this art is easy as pie, and maybe just as delicious! I may not […]
