Convertible Kids Craft Table–Free Building Plans!
Y’all, this winter hasn’t been kind to us. We’ve had pneumonia, tonsillitis, bronchitis, laryngitis, and ear infections sweep through our home, as well as 3 separate rounds of pink eye.

Our most recent ... [ Read More ]

Kids Craft: Salt Dough Suncatcher
It’s no secret that kids crafts are not my forte. I genuinely believe that creativity is NOT all-encompassing. For example, you might be great at painting, but terrible at sewing. Just because I’m ‘creative’ doesn’t mean that organizing a fun craft for my first graders is something that I’m good at, let alone enjoy. Don’t get me wrong, I let them paint scraps of wood, or sand a piece of old ... [ Read More ]

Acid Etching Picture Frame Glass!
Wedding season is upon us! And I love the idea of making something super personalized as a gift for the happy couple. My previous go-to gift was one of these handmade bracket-shaped signs with their last name and year ‘established’. But this year, I decided to try something completely different! Although it’s still something to hang on the wall. Hehe! *This post is sponsored my Armour Etching ... [ Read More ]

Teachers Day: Succulent Gift Idea ‘Thank you for Helping me GROW’
I’ve been blogging for 8 years now (WHAAA?!) and if there’s one thing I’ve learned during that time is that I should photograph the steps of every project… even if I’m not planning to blog about it. Because what if it turns out awesome? You could say I’ve learned my lesson the hard way. Today’s tutorial falls into that category. Let me set the scene… It’s spring of last year and I had ...

Etched Skyline Stemware Tutorial
I don’t know what it’s been like where you live, but the weather here in Iowa has been A.M.A.Z.I.N.G the last few days. We spent every minute of the weekend outside… riding bikes, sidewalk chalk, bubbles, swinging, YOU NAME IT! Fresh air and sunshine is just what I needed in the middle of any soul-crushing winter. As a resident of a Midwestern state, I’m painfully aware that winter will return any ... [ Read More ]
