February 23, 2012 7 Comments

It doesn't take much to get me to smile. Especially, when it involves craft goodies. I had a nice day with two of my cousins yesterday for an IKEA trip and lunch date. J wanted to thank me for something I helped her with so she decided that a gift bag of crafty presents was the most appropriate way. Do you see that stash? The craft hoarder in me had to try and regain my composure while looking through the gift bag. I am so excited to try everything out! Ray on the other hand, looked at glitter … [Read more...]

power of pinterest – tips & tricks

February 15, 2012 13 Comments

So I'm a marketing exec by day. Educated, experienced, and all that jazz but for the first 8-10 months of the existence of this blog I didn't use much of the knowledge I had to work in favor of this blog. To be honest, I started this just to keep our dear friends who live far away updated on the progress of the house renovations. Then one day I posted a crafty thing I made and received more comments than ever. I thought I would throw my craft stuff into the mix, and since then the blog started … [Read more...]

25 things random things about me

February 11, 2012 8 Comments

I love lists. I love writing them, crossing them out and making them for no reason. When I saw this fun little party being hosted over at Pefectly Imperfect via Cassie and Gail, I knew I had to join. So here are 25 totally random things about me. I hope I don't scare you away ;)1. I’ve seen Bob Dylan in concert more than 20 times and stopped counting long ago. 2.  My three dogs are named after Bob Dylan or his songs.3.

Let's be honest here, this blog is pretty small. Okay, really small. I'm nice person too so I if you took the time to reply to a post, I want to thank you or answer your question. Honestly, I do! Sadly, the last few weeks as my readership has started to grow, I've had so many questions I have not been able to answer. So if you gave me some advice on my succulents, asked some questions about my craft room, or maybe commented on some of my recent craft projects and I didn't respond, it isn't … [Read more...]

photo-a-day challenge – february

February 1, 2012 6 Comments

I love browsing the photos on Instagram, and recently joined at the urging of my cousin. Getting to see a little snapshot of someone's life is a great little distraction during the day. The House of Smiths just posted they are joining the Photo-a-day Challenge hosted by Fat Mum Slim so I meandered on over to see what it was all about. The concept is simple. Fat Mum Slim provides an inspiration theme for the day's photo. You take the photo with your free Instagram app on your smart phone, and … [Read more...]
