I'm a homemaker, hobby crafter, and DIYer. I love ALL things craft related. I love to try new crafts and I'll share with y'all whatever craft I'm trying next. Sometimes I might know what I'm doing and sometimes I might be trying it for the first time with you. Come along with me! Let's craft and learn and have fun!
Thank you for another wonderful Craftie year... and what a Craftie year it was! This year brought nearly 100 new videos, 8,000 new subscribers, and lots of Craftie fun! I had a blast in 2019 and I'm looking forward to 2020! Watch my year-in-review video here:
A quick, easy, and festive peppermint trim from your everyday red and white ric rac. Use this on paper projects, home decor, packages and tags... pretty much anything you want. You can even make this in different colors for other holidays and occasions throughout the year. Watch my YouTube tutorial here:

I've recreated my Snowman Bead Charm using larger wooden beads and some buttons to create a mini-ornament version. This can be created in any size you choose. Use whatever you have in your craft stash. Want it larger? Try using styrofoam balls and jumbo buttons.

Another quick and easy addition to your Garden Party Theme. This idea was a spin-off from my recent DIY Stoneware Cake Stand, adapted into a terra cotta mini cupcake-sized version to go along with my other Garden Party themed party decor.

So quick and easy! So inexpensive! Food Safe! Reusable! No painting!
I put this cake stand together using a plate and bowl I purchased from Family Dollar. I paid $2 for the plate and $1.60 for the bowl, along with a few cents worth of hot glue. I came in at well under $4. Family Dollar also had plain plates and bowls without the scroll design, for only $1 each; you could also purchase them at Dollar Tree for $1 each and complete the cake stand for a total of only $2! You can't beat that.
I've seen many tutorials that involve spray painting plastic plates and glass candle sticks. I don't think the paint would hold very well on those surfaces and it would definitely have to be used for decor only as the painted surface would not be food safe. My version offers a more versatile, food safe result and also simplifies the process tremendously. This project literally took seconds! I used hot glue for a temporary hold so I can repurpose the dishes later on. But you could instead use E-6000 and let it set overnight for a more permanent bond.

Add fun, fuzzy texture to cards, scrapbooks, and more with these fun products from Arteza! I had so much fun with this fuzzy monster for Halloween and I can't wait to make more fuzzy cards and fuzzy elements for cards, scrapbooks, and more! Critters, snow banks, flowers, clouds, bows... This concept will be great to use all year 'round. Watch my YouTube video here:

I love the new color sets in the Arteza Everblend line of alcohol markers. The grays include neutral, warm, and cool gray tones for anything from black and white art projects to shading and shadowing and so much more. The skin tones include neutrals ranging from pinkish to yellowish to orangey and beyond. Both sets range from very light to very dark and everything in between. In today's video, I show how these colors can be used for more than skin tones and shading. I like the muted color pallet for soft, subtle coloring like Fall Florals.

Today, I had the most precious experience! I held a hummingbird for the first time. The poor little thing is late for migration and she fell from the feeder, cold and motionless. I held her until she warmed up enough to fly. I'm so glad my husband was there to capture photos and video. I just had to share my experience with my viewers. Watch the video here:
