ribbon, ribbon and more ribbon – diy ribbon organization
I have a craft supply shopping problem. At least I can admit it. It doesn't help that the hubby encourages it. Yes ladies, he is a keeper for sure.I LOVE ribbon. I buy ribbon even if I don't have a planned project for it. I buy it just because it's pretty...is that bad? The only problem with pretty ribbon is storage. My desk drawer system wasn't working at all so I was inspired on Pinterest to use a hanger to store my ribbon. Pulled out a hanger out of my closet and was thrilled with the … [Read more...]
diy ikea chalkboard table – ikea hack
We only have furry kids but I am surrounded by a bunch of little ones thanks to all my friends. Most of them call me Tia - which is Spanish for Aunt - so I try to keep up with the proper Auntie behavior and spoil them rotten.

IKEA hacks are great because you can take a relatively inexpensive … [Read more...]

I have the big corporate job for a global company and I'm working on my MBA but I am a pretty damn good cook and just learned how to sew. Maybe I am more domesticated than I thought … [Read more...]
until the end. harry potter
I'm going to admit my geekiness here. I'm a Harry Potter fan. A new fan. I can't say I've been following the book or movies since the beginning. On the contrary, I made fun of my best friend, S, on her Harry Potter addiction. We went to happy hour on the night of the midnight release of movie number 7 and I waited with her for a bit in line at the movie theater. All I could do was laugh at the people dressed up waiting for the movie and laugh at her for her Gryffindor tie. Seriously? It is a … [Read more...]
pass the coasters – tile coaster tutorial
I've had a stack of plain paper coasters I bought to decorate with a paper Mod Podge technique for awhile. I thought they would be easy to have on hand when we have big groups of people over and really simple to store. When I saw this tutorial on Pinterest with tiles I thought it would be a great idea for more permanent coasters. 4 x 4 white tiles from Home Depot were 16 cents a piece making this a super inexpensive project to tackle. Paint brush, Mod Podge, paper of my choice and a blade. I … [Read more...]
