Happy Wednesday! I know I’ve been a little crazy for braids lately, so today I’m going to switch it up and show a St. Patrick’s Day headband. This is an easy way to get your green on even if you don’t own any green clothing. This is just another version of the headbands [...]
Since Dr. Seuss’ birthday would have been this week, I wanted to share this gift bag idea with you. I gave this to one of our theater friends when she was in Seussical, the Musical. All you need to do to make this gift bag is buy some kraft bags from the dollar store, cut [...]
Who doesn’t like tic tac toe? I made some of these as Christmas gifts this past year, and I can see them being handy for birthdays, too, for people of all ages.

We are still a bit braid crazy around here. These are just a few attempts at adding ribbon to braids. The first one was a French braided fishtail, similar to this one that I posted earlier. The difference is that I started on the side of my daughter’s head for [...]

This has been out there for a while, but it is such a good reminder to all of us who are striving to be really good creatives – stick with it! It reminds me of the quote about taking 20 years to become an overnight success.
Today I thought I’d share with you my collection of doors from Pinterest. I’m not sure why I started collecting these doors, but now that I have them I really love them. These doors are all beautiful. I wonder if they are hints to the personalities of the people inside. My [...]
Welcome to Wednesday, Blogland! Today’s Wear It On Your Head Wednesday is a compilation of a few of my favorite headband tutorials.
This was the first headband craft project I posted when I started to blog last summer. When Heidi over at The Frugal Girls featured it I was ecstatic! [...]
This is the Katniss braid from the Hunger Games. If you’ve seen the movie previews, she has a beautiful Dutch Braid (inside-out French braid) that starts on the side and swoops around the back. I know a lot of people who will be wearing their hair this way when they go to the [...]
We have been wearing boots and socks all winter around here. After a few months, it has started getting a bit boring. So, we have started adding a flower clip or a bow to our socks to give the outfit a little something extra. The bows are easy [...]
