Make Your Own Decoden Mason Jar
Do you decoden? If you're not familiar with the term, it's a craft from Japan that is the art of decorating with trinkets. Basically, more is better! I lived in Japan for three years, and fell in love with the culture and, especially, all things crafty. I love the over the top nature of decoden, and I'm so excited to finally find decoden making products here in the USA, exclusively at Michael's craft stores! Mod Podge Collage Clays are perfect for decoden … [Read more...]
Make Patriotic Star Place Card holder
I don't know about you, but this time of year I seem to be planning lots of parties. Graduations, end of season team parties, showers, holidays, you name it; there's something going on!

Make Glittery Fourth of July Decor
I'll be honest: I love the look of glitter, but I HATE the mess. Detest it! I had quit crafting with glitter for a long, long time, until I discovered DecoArt's line of glitter paints.

Now I glitter most of my projects, and I get to enjoy the process without dealing with all the clean up.To make these patriotic pots and badges, I used DecoArt's Glamour Dust Glitter Paints and … [Read more...]
Beamly + San Antonio Spurs = WINNING!
I'll admit, I'm not much of a sports person, but there are a few exceptions. One is SOCCER, and the other is MY SAN ANTONIO SPURS! I've always loved this team, and it's such a thrill to see them heading back to the finals again.

Father’s Day Gift: Make a Business Card Holder
I was hunting checking my local Dollar Tree for more of these cute birds I like to use in my projects when I found these rooster figures. The rooster was awesome, the crazy wire legs were not so cool. No problem! I could still use the part I liked to make a fun, functional gift for father's day (or a teacher gift!) I paired the rooster with a small wood box to make this French provincial inspired business card holder. I think this would look great on a desk! (This post first appeared at … [Read more...]
How to Bling Out Your Beverage Bar
This shop is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group™ and Dr. Pepper Snapple Group but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #TENways http://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV I recently hosted a little get together with friends. To keep things simple, I usually have liters of soda and disposable cups out for my guests. I wanted to step it up a bit, and make my beverage "bar" more full of sparkle. With a little bling and glue dots, I packed a lot of shine into … [Read more...]

Make a Bird Feeder with Cups and Saucers from Goodwill
As a child, I loved Disney's movie "Alice in Wonderland." I was enchanted by the wild antics that ensued at the Mad Hatter's tea party, and always dreamed of how fun it would be to happen upon an "un-birthday party" in the woods. Now that I have kids, I've decided to create a Mad Hatter inspired garden area (see my teapot bird bath!), where we can picnic and celebrate un-birthdays. Best of all, I get to recycle items purchased at Goodwill San Antonio. (This post first appeared at Dollar … [Read more...]
