These easy DIY Christmas cards (and tags, and garland) came about because I was sent a set of watercolor markers to review. They’re the Hippie Crafter Watercolor Brush Pens (and other than receiving the pens I was in no other way compensated for this post, FYI). I feel like there’s a learning curve on these […]
DIY Halloween Countdown Calendar
This amazing (if I say so myself) Halloween countdown calendar is so cute and actually pretty easy to pull together. If you have kiddos who are fans of spooky season, this might be just the thing to keep the spirit of the season going a little longer. Halloween Advent Calendar For several years when the […]
Coffee-Stained Paper {Craft Challenge, Day 135}
I have a confession to make: I almost never finish a cup of coffee. I drink some at breakfast, usually make a to-go cup to take when I take the girl to school, drink a little in the car, sometimes have a little while I’m doing chores or other morning things, but then I have […]

Put the Pages in Your DIY Journal
This is a little bit of a cheat day because there’s nothing exciting happening here, just putting our DIY journal together. Unless of course you get inspired and start filling up your book, too, which is great if you do! Take your signatures that you made yesterday, pile them together, and put glue on the […]
