I’m working on some cute gift tags for Christmas. Yes, I am actually early (ish), just trying to be on top of things this year. Not to mention, they are so quick and easy to make, and they add something special to gifts. I made similar ones last year… This is what I’ve made for… read more »

However, I didn’t want orange pumpkins mixed in with my Christmas decor, so I did what any responsible crafter would do, I painted them! Yup, I just used… read more »
Well after our beach exploring yesterday with my family, I got the itch. The itch to collect more beach treasures to make more gifts, they are just so cute and unique!

Yup, all of us, and we didn’t get out of bed until 9:15! {for the record, this was NOT on purpose} The weather was mild, sunny and unseasonably nice for a mid-November… read more »
