Crafts, gifts and a whole lot of love
Not so long ago, when I was working in the office full time I had to wear an ID badge while I was in the building. I had a lanyard to go along with it, and while it wasn’t all that fancy, at least it […]
Greetings and welcome back! I’m fresh (well, semi-fresh anyway) from another annual girls retreat and jazzed to dive into new projects. Evidently this included having to get nearly all of my website back up and running today. Sheesh. Who knew making one addition to the […]
Okay, I admit it. I fell victim to blog lust recently when I was cruising through a few favorite sites. They were all disgustingly pretty, fresh and clean and I immediately realized that this labor of love of mine was, well, not any of those […]
don’t know about you, but when the weather is nasty and cold, I want something hearty and warm for dinner. Enter this FANTASTIC recipe from Pampered Chef. With a Toni twist. The original recipe is vegetarian friendly, but since the hubby and I are carnivores, I added ground beef to the mix for an alternative version. The biggest win for this recipe? I had EVERYTHING I needed on hand. I bet you do too!
Hello! I am back with four new additions to the shop that are absolutely PERFECT for Valentine’s day. Skip the chocolates, the flowers that wilt and the guilt and head for the Valentine candles! I guarantee, every single one is calorie free (though Chocolate Cherry Bomb won’t seem like it), and they last for a nice long time!
Just in time for all your holiday gift wrapping, I have another idea for gift tags to share that will add a little extra somethin’ somethin’ to your packages.
This project is just in time for holiday gift wrapping and ornament making. The tags that I used are wood and come in a box of 50 from Michael’s. I only used three for this project which means that I have 47 more to play around with for ornaments, gift tags, place markers… Well, the list is endless right? I also used my Cricut to cut the letters so if you have a cutting machine, I have saved the cut files into my Digital Downloads freebie files for you to download and use. So, let’s get started!
I am super excited to announce I have a new gift section in the store and I am working on loading it up with a bunch of different things to make gift giving easy. To start things off with a bang, I have a bright paper package all tied up with string (and aren’t those all of our favorite things?) that I hope lands right on top of your wish list!
Today I have a sparkly snowflake project that you can do with the kids and deck the halls while you are at it! These aren’t original to me, but I thought they would make a good project since the supplies needed are really easy to find and pretty inexpensive too. Also, the options are pretty much endless as far as potential designs so let your imagination run wild and see what you come up with.
I believe it is really important to find things that interest us outside of work and all the usual day-to-day stuff we slog through on our way to the weekend. Something that refuels our creative spirit, refreshes our outlook and gives us the energy to keep going. Self Care is the catchphrase being used of late for this concept, and yes, it is important so why not have a little fun while we are at it?
