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 […]

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 […]

I have had this idea for a typography candle holder floating around in my brain for months. After I made my typography vase and saw how much you all loved it, I knew a candle holder would be next on my list. But time always seemed to get the best of me, and I didn’t […]

This post is sponsored by La Croix. All opinions and ideas are my own. Thank you so much for supporting the brands that keep me pumping out the colorful crafts and DIY’s.

I realize I have already shared several DIY ornament ideas with you all this year, but I have just one more that I have to share. Why? Well, besides the fact that they are too cute not to share, they are also a part of a huge giveaway contest that I am a part of […]

Today marks the end of gift week, and I saved my favorite for last! Have you ever seen any laser cut acrylic jewelry, drink stir sticks, or cake toppers and wondered how to make your own? Well, my friend Amanda of Outfab can custom laser cut your designs into any shape you can think up! […]

One of my favorite things about blogging has to be the fact that I am able to style so many parties and home decor vignettes. It’s a great excuse to purchase all those little decor pieces that I normally would talk myself out of buying. Today, with the help of Minted, I am going to […]
