Last year, at the end of each month, I wrote a blog post about the books, movies and TV shows I enjoyed that month. This year, with all that’s been happening in the world, I’ve barely read any books. I’ve had a hard time finding TV shows that grab my attention, and our movie viewing…
About a month ago, I was talking to a friend about how much I love art journaling, especially during this time of social distancing. She told me I should check out her sister-in-law’s Instagram page to see a similar form of art that she does in her Bible. I looked her up at Stir the…
I’ve been reading a lot lately about using chalk paste to create decorative chalkboard art. This immediately appealed to me because it encompasses so many of the crafts that I already love: chalkboard art, painting with adhesive vinyl and (faux) hand lettering. I started searching my local craft stores for chalk paste, and I was amazed…
Last school year, I discovered patterned and holographic vinyl, and I’ve been a little obsessed with both ever since. I’m always looking for projects in which I can use these super fun varieties of adhesive vinyl. Most of my daughter’s school supplies are pretty generic, but we have fun decorating her big three-ring binder. She…
A few years ago, I downloaded a few of the gymnast cut files from the Silhouette store for our youngest daughter who has been doing gymnastics since she was three. I’m amazed at how many times I have been able to use those same files to make cute custom crafts for her gymnastics obsession! Here…
Maybe you read my last post about starting an art journal — or creative journal — and you want to get started. But if you are like me, you are afraid you wouldn’t know how to begin! I’ve noticed that every day, I seem to get more and more ideas of what I want to…
For the past few years, I’ve been intrigued by the thought of starting an art journal. However, the idea always intimidated me. It sounded like a big time commitment that would take more artistic talent, ideas and supplies than I could handle. But at the beginning of the year, I “accidentally” started an art journal…
I love a challenge. I love the satisfaction of working really hard on something and then seeing it all come together. Even more, I love being part of a team of people who all bring different strengths and talents to a project. This weekend, I was blessed to get to do all of those things when…
I’ve been writing about some serious topics the past few days, and I’ve loved interacting with many of you on Facebook, Bloglovin’ and through text. I guess I’m not the only one feeling the sadness of back to school, and I’ve also learned that many of my friends have been doing the happy dance now…
A month ago, a friend messaged me to tell me she had won a free session at a painting class. She asked if I would like to come along, and we could split the cost of a second class. I have wanted to do this for a long time, so I jumped at the opportunity….
