I had this square votive sitting around collecting dust and decided to try to give it a facelift. Up close, it kind of looks like an elementary school project, but when you stick a candle in it and hide it on a shelf, you can’t really tell how clumsy I am when it comes to […]
I spent way too much time on Pinterest last weekend. So much time, in fact, that I mistakenly started to believe I was capable of re-creating some of the DIY projects I’ve pinned in the past. Mike and I had a few empty glass bottles sitting in the kitchen and I wanted to paint them. […]
Based on my last few DIYs you’d think the only crafts I ever do involve corks. That won’t be the case anymore. I officially used the last of them for this one! This is another quick & dirty DIY – the results will vary depending on your time dedication vs. your desire for instant gratification. […]
Bah Humbug, you say. Christmas is 5 months away, you say. WHO CARES, I say. I am already getting prepared for the best season of the year! Hobby Lobby has their Christmas decor out. It’s like they are pandering directly to me. I picked up two little floral accents (I think they count as floral? […]

One of my favorite additions was this antique store find: I call him Sir Fidel. I think he’s supposed to be […]
On Saturday I woke up with the urge to craft. Naturally I was the first person in Hobby Lobby when they opened that morning, and I walked around idly until I figured out what I wanted to make. Mod Podge has always been an alluring substance – is it glue? Is it paint? Is it […]
Exactly 3 months ago, we got engaged. =) Side note: Gena started a blog – if you have any input at all on your previous or current employment, go leave her a comment HERE. Mike was working last night for some LAME reason, so I decided, instead of planting my happy rear-end on the couch […]
