My New Mini-Office Space & Free Tag Download

I have to call it a space because that is what it is. It’s not a room. It’s not a studio. It’s a space. A 4 feet x 6 feet bit of space to be exact (if you count all of the rug). It located in my bedroom (something I don’t recommend, but under current [...]

Frame it! My Kids’ New Chalkboard for the Kitchen!

I must admit that domino magazine is the devil.

Quick Fix for My Tote Bag

So I mentioned that I needed to fill those pockets up before I went on my trip tomorrow…so here was my quick fix! I decided to use scrapbook paper! The great thing about scrapbook paper is that you don’t have to use it for scrapbooking (I hardly ever do). I love all the other uses [...]
