One of the easiest holiday crafts you can do is make Christmas ornaments for your tree. And if you’re anything like my mom, you have about 40 boxes of ancient glass colored balls of all colors. What to do with those old ornaments? How about this? I found this ornament on Pinterest and thought this…

Thanksgiving Kids Craft…Make an Advent Calendar!
Making a Thanksgiving Advent Calendar was a really fun craft to do with my kids. Confession: I don’t love involving my kids with my crafting and sewing. Gasp! (Jim Gaffigan Voice: She doesn’t like crafting with her kids? She must be a horrible mother.) It’s not that I don’t like to do activities with…

My Strange Addiction
I believe in therapy. Basically I believe in talking to someone to sort through your issues and problems. And sometimes if they are a little too complex, someone who has studied human behavior is excellent to help you figure things out. I’ve been to therapy several times in my life–I’m not afraid to admit it….
Help Me Reach 2000! (and other items of business)
My blogging journey is still young, even though it feels like it’s been a long time. I feel like I’ve worked really hard in the last year or so to write interesting blog posts, fun tutorials, cool giveaways, and what have you. One of my biggest goals for this blog is to create a feeling…
Halloween Subway Art…with a twist

It’s one of the easiest, trendiest, and most graphically modern crafts circulating the blogosphere and I’ve NEVER made it before.
