Don't mind the mess, we're just having some fun!
Welcome back to the craft room and today’s Flashback Friday Gift Card/Money Holder post. Sometimes the best gift is simply cash or a gift card. The year I made this project, I wanted to treat my mom to a full year of lunches at the Senior Center. Cash or gift cards deserve pretty packaging, so…
Welcome back to the craft room and today’s Flashback Friday Tabletop Flower Garden post. I don’t know about you, but I love paper flowers!

Welcome back to the craft room and today’s Flashback Friday For the Birds post.

Welcome back to the craft room and today’s Flashback Friday Christmas 2011 Gift Tags post. We are so close to Christmas Day I can almost taste it! For the last few years, I’ve decided to stick to a simple plan for gift tags. If I have more than one design, they’re very easy to create…

That’s exactly what happened back in December 2008 after creating just one card! Let’s take a peek back at more holiday creations! Holiday Cards Thanks…
Welcome to my sisters craft room and today’s Easy Acrylic Block Watercolor Backgrounds Post. I’m hanging out at my sister’s as she recovers from surgery, and she’s kindly given me free rein of her craft room. There are a few supplies she has set aside for upcoming projects, but everything else is fair game—and today…
Welcome back to the craft room and today’s Flashback Friday Weekly Challenge Wrap post. Let’s take a look at the challenges I participated in during the second week of July 2011.
