A little story about my bout with infertility and my journey to becoming a mother.
How To Paint a Simple Topiary
Are you ready for some non-Christmas paint projects? Yeah. Me too. While this topiary could be used for Valentine’s Day, I guess, I actually painted it for a little girl’s room. Before we go any further, this isn’t really a tutorial. It’s more of a What-Tool-To-Use-To-Paint-a-Topiary. But that just didn’t have the right ring to […]
Frosted Candle with Epsom Salts
Have you used epsom salts for any crafts this season? It only took me 2 months to try this frosted candle that I first wrote about back in October. After my ‘issues’ with frosted branches, I was hoping this project would be easier. I like crafts that only take 3 supplies – a candle, Mod […]
Painted Oven Mitt & Pot Holders
You might think this is an idea for a Last Minute Gift, but it’s not. I’m sure that you’re completely done with presents, right? So this is just an easy Snowman Paint Project for next year.

Reason being, I actually embossed the wine bag but it doesn’t look embossed. There’s that and the fact that I […]

Stenciled Boys’ Painting – and a GiveAway!!!
I am now officially a stencil convert, thanks to Cutting Edge Stencils. The harlequin diamond background on this canvas wallhanging took me all of 10 minutes to paint because I used this stencil from Cutting Edge Stencils. Ten minutes! I used to spend a day, or two, painting harlequin diamonds. And that was just the […]
Chocolate & Gold Christmas Tree
The holiday season is all about traditions, isn’t it? One of my new favs is Sarah’s Christmas Tree Party, so this is a rewind from a couple of Christmas’ ago. But it’s still one of my favorite trees. As a little girl, hanging homemade ornaments and silver tinsel on our tree, I’d never have dreamed […]
