DIY Shaving Cream
My teen girl has started the whole shaving of the legs thing. It’s a bit traumatic. And there is a learning curve involved … like how the razor needs to move from ankle to knee, and not the other way around. I keep promising to get her some shaving cream. How it will make […]
Stenciled Glass
I fully realize this stenciled glass project is not using mason jars. I’m pretty sure I can discern the difference between a mason jar and a wine bottle … well, as long as I haven’t had a glass … or two … of wine. But when I spotted these stenciled glass wine bottles on […]
Nail Polish Mason Jar Art
A few months back I spotted this nail polish “painting” idea. But it’s not really painting in the true sense of painting … and it certainly isn’t the way you would use nail polish to paint your finger nails. Or toes. And I pinned this idea with the idea of trying it out […]

Valentine For Teacher
In my book, there’s nothing wrong with a little buttering up of the teacher. A little brown nosing with a sweet treat … … and Valentine’s Day is the perfect occasion to let the teachers in your life know how much you appreciate all they do for the kids with a homemade S’mores snack mix […]

Love Birds in a Jar
This love birds diorama doesn’t scream Valentine’s Day. It’s not oozing with red and pink and sparkles … but somehow it works. It speaks volumes. Those two cute little birds snuggling on a branch. The little pendant banner. The topper and the ribbon. All together it just exudes love, love, love! It’s such […]
Clay Heart Tags
I have a bit of an obsession with porcelain tags … I’m not sure why. Or how. Or when. All I know is that I love how they look … and shouldn’t we just go with our gut? Go for those things that we love? And then I happened upon these porcelain-look […]

Storage & Organization
I wish I could share with you how I’ve gotten our house organized. How the closets have been cleaned. How the clutter has been decluttered. How the crafts have been wrangled and labeled and sorted by size and color in cute little mason jars. But, alas, I’m still struggling. Swimming in a sea of disorganization […]
Craft Room Storage
Who doesn’t want to get the ‘stuff’ up off the counter tops? I know I do. Because before I know it, the ‘stuff’ takes over … covering every surface … and crowding us out. Confining me and my family to a 12-square-inch swath of counter space to pour our morning cereal. […]
