DIY and craft adventures of two humans, three dogs and two cats.
This post is sponsored by Plaid Crafts. I received materials for this project and compensation for my time, but all opinions are most definitely my own! If you've been around here for even a bit, you know I love stencils. Even with my ability to make my own stencils from freezer paper or vinyl, good quality, reusable stencils are always great to have on hand. I was really excited to try out the new Stencil1 line because their edgy, modern designs are fun and different. To … [Read more...]
While I have 800 projects in the works right now, it really seems like I'm trending with the Harry Potter themed items for you. This time, a Harry Potter light switch. Yeah, I'm out of control for the upcoming birth of my new niece or nephew, and my geek tendencies are showing. I've seen many variations of this project on Pinterest, so I knew it would be an easy but cute addition to the nursery. I used my trusty Silhouette to set up the text for the project. Applying vinyl using transfer … [Read more...]
Clearly the Harry Potter theme is going to be around throughout my bestie's pregnancy. How can it not?

Don't get excited. There is no baby in the works for this blogger. I'm knee deep in planning for my bestie's first born.

This chalkboard arrow sign shouldn't even count as a project because it was so simple. I went to Michael's last weekend for the #mpinterest party and picked up the wooden arrow with a coupon. Sadly, I was the … [Read more...]
Since digital cameras took over we have been horrendous at printing pictures. Even more so when our lives were taken over by iPhones. Tell me we are not alone? We don't have kids so I really had no excuse in my mind to start printing pictures for albums. I have so many shots I would want somewhere else besides my phone, but have been very lazy about it. In comes the idea of a DIY Instagram photo display. This is all over blogland already, but I finally got around to printing out some pictures … [Read more...]
Did you know February 20th is National Love Your Pet Day? Neither did I until earlier this week. The Google says so, so it must be true. Of course, if you follow this blog, you know we love our pets. We have no kids, but these furry creatures we share our home with are our life. What better way to commemorate the love for your furry family members than with something for them? Here are twelve of my favorite pet crafts or inspirations - including some of my own :) … [Read more...]
