DIY Workshop Virtual Party!
I’m sure you’ve noticed by now that I’m a little obsessed with my power tools; It’s no secret that I’ve been getting a little hands-on (or should that read handsy) with them lately. 😀 Well what can I say? I love beautiful things for less, that is guaranteed great quality, and that I can say I […]
You Light Up My Life – Gift {& Free Printable Gift Tags}
Are you a gift giving rock star? I’d love to know the secret to how you make gift giving personal. Do you pride yourself on knowing just what everyone really wants (yes, even the eccentric neighbor across the street)?

Chic Wrapping Paper Storage
I have a weakness for wrapping paper. It’s like their pretty designs and textures just call out to me “Ursula, hey, look how cute I am…you totally want to take me home, I’m only $2!!”, and I can never resist. I can’t seem to walk into a Home Goods or a Target without walking out with […]
The Fun In Cranberry & Popcorn Garlands

Picture & Scroll Filled Ornaments
While browsing through the Christmas section of my local craft store, a very nice woman browsing through similar items asked me if I knew anything about filling ornaments. I don’t think she was ready for the verbose discourse that was to follow as I took her under my tutelage. *insert wrinkle nosed, sparkly-eyed, mischievous grin* […]
