Saint Patrick’s Day Crafts and Preschool St. Patty’s Party and a Bad Momma
This is my day so far… “Hurry up so you won’t be late for school”, I tell my kiddos as they hop out of the car. I watch my 5 and 8 year olds rush down the sidewalk toward the school. Great, I’ll still have plenty of time to get everything in place before the ...
Art Party
An arty party full of glitter and “goldens” (what the little girl calls gems). This is what happens when you get three, four, and five year olds together for a party. Giggles, silly faces, messy art and lots of fun! As soon as guests arrived in the art studio we got started on making crowns. ...
Giveaway- Fortune Shaker Necklace and Blog Party
When I was asked if I could participate in the Lex’s blog party I looked to my snazzy Fortune Shaker Necklace for guidance. My fortune read “Now is the Time”. I love a little creative motivation, don’t you? Not only have I decided to be a guest blogger, but I’m so excited for the opening ...
A Creative Walk
My assignment for myself…while walking to pick up my daughter from school, I’ll take a picture of everything that I find beautiful. I’ll stop to examine the sky and the ground and really look at my surroundings rather than rushing by. It was a lovely walk and found some remarkable finds. What do you think?
Made it in my First Magazine, Artisan Jewelry made in Salem

Oh no, my stomach fills with butterflies and I feel every molecule in my body bounce with excitement. Could it ...

Springtime in Salem, a painting
Did any of you Salemites witness the crazy hail storm today? Our neighborhood was quickly blanked in little hail balls around noon. It was surely a fun site to see. I was busy rushing the kids into the car for a doctor’s appointment (Little Missy has two awful ear infections). Little Man was angry that ...
Sharing the Love of Crafting with you this Valentine’s Day
Finally finished with my first stop motion animation as well as my first song ever. This took a while for me to put together…almost 400 frames as well as photoshop work but it was fun. I made the puppet from the same process as I’ve shown you before (Perfectly Imprudent Puppets) and then photoshoped my ...
Valentine Fun- an After Work Craft Party
Themed parties are always fun, especially when celebrated with a lively group of women. I had a hoot with this bunch last time for holiday craft night, making ornaments and rings. And they returned to the studio again for charm bracelets and glitzy magnet making. We learned how to use crimp beads and open and ...
