Make and Fill a Purse Swap

I have so much to share – and just haven’t taken the time to update this blog and show you the projects! But I have been crafting away – promise!

I have a ton in my head, but just haven’t taken the time to sketch them out and put them in a “shareable” format. And it just boggles my mind that there are people out there that like my patterns enough to …

Katie loves bows and her mom suggested a bow holder. So I made her one, in her fave colors and personalized with her name.

She seemed to love it!

Playing with Watercolors

Hey blogland!  I hope your holiday was as great as mine!  I was going to make the first post after the Christmas season all about the presents I made for others and how they were received.  I’ll share those at a later date, as I’m head over heels in love with watercolors.  I love to paint and have used oils and acrylics in the past.  I never thought I’d like watercolors, but over the last 3-4 years I kept wanting to play with it.  Then I started doing those relief …

Flavored Lip Gloss

Kacie and her friend, Kyra, had a product market at school today. They decided to make flavored lip glosses to sell. Look how cute the turned out! I love how they colored the labels differently.News today is that they sold out pretty quickly! I’m not surprised, they made me one (lemon berry flavored) and I’ve been using it since last Friday night!

Wanna see how they made them???
