I am thrilled with how these projects turned out! Cement and stone decor are all the rage, but cement is so darn heavy! And it leaves marks and dents on your wood shelves and furniture. This idea lets you use a cushion foam core to create stone and cement decor that is very light. Project Foam is easy to cut, so you can design a huge variety of decorative pieces to use indoors or outdoors.

DIY Foil Cards Made Using Opal Vinyl
Make DIY foil cards without a laminator or heat! This is a sponsored post. I just love the look of foiled cards. The metallic and iridescent shine is mesmerizing.

Then the whole project is ruined. … [Read more...]
Bless Your Heart Candle Tutorial with Free Printable
Make a Bless Your Heart Candle to brighten someone's day. This is a sponsored post. One of the things I like about candle making is that you can create your own scents, and have a little fun with the names while you're at it. One of my favorite expressions to use is "Bless Your Heart". This term can be endearing or an insult, depending on how it is used. I have found it to be especially useful on social media with trolls. When someone "attacks" me, I respond with simply "bless your heart" … [Read more...]

Clear Slime Tutorial: Make Liquid Glass
Make clear slime that looks like liquid glass! My daughter and I have enjoyed experimenting with different kinds of slime, but this recipe is our favorite one so far!

This is enough to make a "personal sized" slime. You can double or triple the ingredients to make more clear slime for a larger group. Supplies … [Read more...]

Valentine Porch Makeover: DIY Outdoor Decor Projects
Valentine Porch Makeover to Brighten Up for the Holidays My outdoor spaces look so sad. The Christmas decorations are gone, packed away until next year. All my potted plants and flowers are dead or wintering in my garage. The lull between Christmas and spring means a long span of dull looking lawns and little color. It's still too soon to start planting flowers (there's always that last snow or freeze!). I am improvising by making my own colorful porch decor. This space looks so much … [Read more...]
