I have been on a kick with scrapbook paper. Mainly since it was on sale for 6/96¢, and I spent four dollars.
These are jars I saved from random store-bought items and, they drove my hubby crazy, because he kept wanting to toss them. Not anymore. He says they look nice. Awww.

I wanted to post this last month… BUT~ some were gifts for Christmas, and I didn’t want to ruin anyone’s surprise. Can you blame me?
This is awesome and this is why:
You can use any frame I used a scrapbook frame, but you can snag some cool vintage frames at a thrift [...]
I’m short. When people ask me “How tall are you?” I smile and say, “I’m not!”Needless to say, a lot of my clothing is too long. It needs trimming and hemming. The problem? I don’t own a sewing machine and I am too lazy to stitch by hand….but, I found a nice loophole [...]
I admit it, I’m a little weird sometimes. For instance, I am currently saving used toilet paper rolls for an awesome holiday craft. Yes, I just said awesome and toilet in the same sentence. See… I’m a weirdo.
So, the other day, I found this box. It was one of those perfect boxes. It was just the right size and strength for magazines and books, and it happened to fit perfectly next to my computer desk.

This is a classic meaningful little gift idea. And… so easy. Hooray to easy. Cheap, too… hooray for cheap!
I did about 28 of these last week for my daughter’s class. The most challenging part was getting 4 year olds to “freeze” for 25-35 seconds. That’s forever, when you’re four. To make these, [...]
Instant centerpiece! Don’t have a plant or flowers? You can rock this out!
tall glass/ vase jelly beans and a dollar store bunny.Better than flowers… because you can eat it. And it keeps you from making a trip out to the store.
I am a vanilla girl. Not to say I don’t adore chocolate…I just have a certain fondness for vanilla. I think it’s in how it is portrayed as such a “plain” flavor, yet it’s compounds produce a complexity all it’s own.
For instance, vanilla beans as we know them in their pods come [...]
Well, if you know me on twitter and facebook, you know I got a bit ballsy yesterday and decided to make a video. Not sure why… I think I wanted to see if I could do it. It was something I was scared to death of when I was in Project Food Blog-I [...]
This is just so cute. And I totally stole it from somewhere- I can’t remember where… (online…I think, although I do have a stack of fall magazines….)
It’s not like me to not give credit-so I will try and hunt down the creator of these cuties.
And, except for the worm they are [...]
