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
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...]

photo-a-day challenge – february
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...]
