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...]

That's when I decided to turn heart frame into an earring holder. Instead of chicken wire, which I have seen in lots of tutorials, I opted to use plastic canvas, which can be painted and won't prick your … [Read more...]
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.
