Have you ever tried glass paint markers? I don't know why I didn't use these sooner...they're so easy to craft with!

Easy Football Party Crafts
Are you ready for some football? Whether you're hosting or attending a Superbowl party, there's crafting to be done! :) We usually stay in and watch the game as a family. My boys always ask me (at the very last minute) to make them team shirts, as I showed you in this post. Of course, they always root for opposing teams, just because they could *never* cheer for the same team. So competitive, these boys! So to foster a little cooperation I had us make some football themed decor together. These … [Read more...]
Make Scratch Off Valentine Cards

Retro Inspired Craft Room Tour
Ciao, amici! My blogging friend Angie, over at the Country Chic Cottage, is hosting a fun craft room tour. I thought it would be a good idea to join in the fun so that I would be forced to clean up my craft room a little bit. Please tell me I'm not the only one who waits till company is coming over to clean like a mad woman? My craft room is actually the laundry room of my house. But who needs that much space to do laundry, right? I repurposed the circus tent hanging from my son's … [Read more...]
Make a Fabric Heart Bowl for Valentine’s Day
Valentine's Day is approaching! I love to decorate with hearts and make Valentine's for this love-ly holiday.

Hilarious Emergency Candy Jar Gift DIY
I'm a big fan of Margot Potter's creative work, and she once published a tutorial for an adorable candy vial necklace charm. I thought the idea was so cute that I wanted to make my own version. Instead of a wearable piece, I designed mine to be a cute little gift, or even a party favor. These are glass vials, so this is not a kid friendly gift, but you could find plastic bottles to recreate the idea for kids, too. Supplies Colored Glass Bottle Non pareils Address … [Read more...]
Valentine Holder Penguin from a Milk Container
This Valentine holder penguin will be the hit of the class party! I came up with this cute penguin idea over 15 years ago when my apartment complex had a balcony decorating contest. The grand prize: one month's free rent. As a cash strapped newlywed, I needed to come up with a winning idea that was inexpensive. This penguin from a milk jug idea was born, I filled my balcony with cute penguins and a "south pole" sign, and won the contest! My daughter has been very interested in penguins … [Read more...]

Sporty Wall Hooks DIY
Like so many of you, I try my best to start out the year with better organization! I decided to tackle my kids' rooms first and help them organize their sports medals, hats, and other accessories.
