Happy New Year! I am finding it a bit difficult to get back into the swing of things after my holiday break, so I figured I would start off the year by sharing a few of the projects that I worked on last year that never made it here. That way I get a little […]

With New Years Eve so close to Christmas, it usually gets overlooked as far as decorating goes. Especially by me. I am so worn out after Christmas, planning a NYE bash is the last thing I want to do. So this year I decorated a small area in my home with what I am affectionately […]

I know there is likely no time to really add any more DIY decorations to your home, but this banner that I originally made for Consumer Crafts was just too cute not to share. And it definitely goes beyond Christmas decorations. This garland could stay up all year or used for a party. The secret […]

Surprisingly, although I never seem to have it together enough the make my own, one of my favorite traditions during the holiday season collectingChristmas cards from my family and friends. They usually end uphaphazardly stuck to the fridge or leaning on the mantel. This year will be different though, because I created the cutest color […]

I still can’t get over the fact that Christmas is less than a week away. The time has flown by even quicker this year then ever! My family and I have already watched quite a few Christmas movies, baked cookies, and decorated sugar cookies. Next up is going to see all the Christmas lights! But […]

Yes, you read that title right! I am taking my love of bottle brush trees to the next level with these simple bottle brush tree sugar cookies. While they may look complicated, all you really have to do it be able to pipe a line. No fancy tools or advanced cookie decorating techniques needed! I […]

This post is sponsored by Flora Craft® Make It: Fun®. Thank you for supporting the brands that make it possible for me to keep the crafts and DIY’s coming.  This month I was tasked with using the extra large 8″ and 10″ foam balls. At first I tried my hand at creating a disco ball, […]

Hi, it’s Brandon, aka Kara’s husband/co-worker/baby-daddy.  I’m writing a guest-post gift-guide for some ideas for your husband, dad, brother, or anyone of any gender, age, religion, or political opinion that may like these things.  Most, if not all, of these items I actually own and use, so I’m not just throwing random things at you.  […]

This year I have been loving natural wood tones mixed with pops of color. I had the idea for these colorful birch wood candle holders for quite a while, but when I saw these logs at Joann fabric and craft store this past weekend I knew it was finally time to put my idea into […]

The baking has begun!!!! There is no way I can get through the holidays without whipping up a batch (or ten) of cookies. There is a reason they call them Christmas cookies after all! One of my favorite childhood Christmas cookies are spritz. If you have never had them, they are like buttery little sugar […]

I can’t believe that Christmas is less than two weeks away! The time has seriously flown by this year! It likely has something to do with the fact that I have been working non stop pumping out the crafts, sewing bags for all the orders coming in through my Etsy shop, and styling photos for […]

This year I challenged myself to design some wrapping paper that I could sell on Spoonflower. Well, time got the better of me and I only ended up getting one design finalized, but it turned out so cute! So today I am sharing 3 gift wrapping pairings (including my desing) plus a few DIY gift […]
