I love some of the nursery and kid’s room art I see in some of the high-end home decor catalogs. But then I see the price tag and quickly flip the page. But I got to thinking that my Cricut has some great artwork, and I’ve got a canvas on hand, and some Mod Podge….well, [...]

This is the most amazing idea ever, and I can say that because it isn’t MINE.  Let this sink in a minute: Decoupaged Suitcase Shrines. Yeah.

It’s a new school year and new backpacks and jackets have been purchased- but it’s only a matter of time before my kids yank the pulls right off of the zippers! So I’m getting the jump on repairs by making some fun, recycled ones that the kids can personalize. We’re building the base on an [...]

OK, so I decided to share my “original” Boo Boo Box- the one I made about 5 years ago when my little guy was still little! This one isn’t as fancy as the one I shared yesterday, but it gave me the idea. The “Original” was made from mostly recycled materials- a  cardboard box that [...]
