I recently shared my struggle with infertility with some free printable cards you can give your friend who is TTC (trying to conceive). As a continuation of that story, I'd like to share what I think may have worked for me. I've often said that if I could bottle and give away whatever worked for me, I would. I hate that anyone should have to face years of frustration and tears like I did. But I did make some changes that I think impacted my ability to conceive, and I'm sharing those with the … [Read more...]

Free Printable Cards for Your Friends who Are TTC
I recently read a story about a designer who made cards that she wished she would have received when she was battling cancer. People mean well, but often don't know what to say. It made me think of the kinds of things I wish friends would have said to me when I was struggling with infertility. So, here are some free printables that you can turn into cards to give someone who is having trouble TTC (trying to conceive). When I was invited to write a post for Astroglide TTC Trying to … [Read more...]

Make a Teapot Dessert Stand
Some time ago I fell in love with a lamp that was available at Anthropologie. I didn't need a lamp, so I started thinking of ways to recreate the look in a form that was more useful. I came up with a fun bird bath, instead, using items I purchased at Goodwill San Antonio. Someone suggested that I adapt the idea to make a cake stand, and I thought that was a perfect idea! Here's how I made my teapot dessert stand, which would be a really fun centerpiece for a tea or party. This post … [Read more...]
Make Your Own Custom Photo Pencils and Pens
This post is a sponsored tutorial in collaboration with OnlineLabels.com and CraftyHangouts.com, but all ideas and opinions are my own. Growing up with an unusual name, I could never find personalized items with my name. Ever. Heck, I've never even met another person in real life who has my name! That might explain why I am so drawn to making gifts that are personalized. Adding a name or photo to a gift just makes it that much more special, I think. I love using OnlineLabels.com to create my … [Read more...]

I love lots of color and whimsy in my backyard, and I'm (very) slowly putting together a garden area that's inspired by the Mad Hatter's tea party in Alice in Wonderland. When I saw this garden sculpture at Anthropologie, I knew it would fit in with my "fantastical" garden. The price tag ($498!!!) was wayyy out of my budget, so I made my own. Here's how I did it. … [Read more...]
Butterfly Garden Art Made from a Whisk
I have been slowly putting together a "fantastical" garden area inspired by the Mad Hatter's tea party in Alice in Wonderland. My garden is made up of tea pot and tea cup creations, and I'm also filling it with whimsical DIY garden art. I recently taught you how to turn a whisk into a dragonfly. That project prompted me to start collecting any and all whisks I could find at Goodwill San Antonio (my sponsor for this post.) Here's my second whisk creation: a butterfly! … [Read more...]
