I recently organized my sticker collection, mostly leftovers from my childhood, and I found some rad stickers that I probably got as a promotion from Scholastic Books or Troll. I have no idea what I’m saving them for, or what you might use them for, but I scanned some and put them up here for [...]
I really wish I had been around to see it, but earlier today, a Father’s Day/dad’s birthday card I have for sale on etsy.com was featured on their front page! Click on the picture below to check out the product page.
YAY!!!
Now that my mom has received her card finally, I can show you the making of it. Enjoy!

For one of my relatives, I’m making a spa basket with some inexpensive yet fairly high quality bath and beauty products. One item in the basket is bath salts that smell like cherry and are all natural, even from the Dead Sea in Israel! But the packaging is ugly. So ugly, I won’t even post [...]
It lightly but literally snowed in DC yesterday, our first of the season, so it’s fitting that I got cracking on a little snowflake project of my own.
I am currently working on my Christmas cards because I have decided THIS is the year I don’t buy any cards and still get them out the door [...]
This past weekend, I was invited to an apartment warming and decided to bake a cake. But since I wasn’t frosting the cake, it needed a little something besides confectioner’s sugar to jazz it up. So I whipped up a little house for the housewarming :) This is also a great way to make houses [...]
