When I asked my friend Cheryl at Cheryl Elizabeth Craft for some creative May inspirations, I should’ve known that she would go all out and create her own completely DIY Cinco de Mayo party. Like, for reals. I’ve known Cheryl since college (which is well over a decade ago…shhhhh) and she has always been so crafty that …
I have been wanting to make some yarn pom poms for ages. {By the way, say “pom pom” over and over again and tell me how weird that word – words? – is}. I saw some cute little animal-themed ones online awhile back and realized that they could really become anything I wanted them to be. …
Update: This DIY Link Costume for Breath of the Wild was created a few years ago. It remains one of my more popular Halloween costumes, and this game remains one of m kids’ favorite games. If you have a little one obsessed with this game and are looking to make them a costume, I just …
Is anyone else hosting Easter brunch or dinner this year?? It’s my first time, and I am on Pin overload. So many crafts, so little time! I’m usually a casual, sit-where-you-like kind of gal, but I’m going to try something new this time around and make seating arrangements (if I can conquer a wedding …
You know what the best kind of crafts are? Cheap and easy ones. This craft couldn’t get any cheaper or easier. I made it for $5 using products from Dollar General. It took me five minutes (tops) to make the whole thing, from start to finish. This easy St. Patrick’s Day wreath can dress up …
You know what I did differently this year? I did my kids’ Valentines early.

I love candy hearts. Mostly, eating them. But it seems I’ve also made a bunch of fun DIY candy heart craft projects, as evidenced here, here, and here (geez…Necco needs to give me a job, y’all!). They’re just so fun and easy to use, and basically all you have to do is glue them to something …
WOW, Christmas is only a couple of weeks away! Don’t fight the long crowds or stressful situations this year and get creative! I don’t know about you, but I have quite a few people to buy for. I’m not trying to spend a lot of money on each gift, so DIY it is! Holiday Snack …
My house is a hodge podge of random Christmas decorations we’ve collected over the years. It’s easy to get caught up in Christmas Decoration Envy this time of year (hellllo, Pinterest and gorgeous home bloggers!). But I keep coming back to the easier (and cheaper, and less work-intensive) decorating style inside me – the one …
Christmas is coming! Christmas is coming! Christmas is coming! Excuse my while I get all “Buddy the Elf” over my favorite holiday. The kids love Christmas, too, and a few years ago, my mom introduced them to reindeer food. If you don’t know what reindeer food is, you’re in for a fun new Christmas tradition! …
