You may notice after today that I am on a bit of a color gradient kick what with yesterday’s gradient tray and today’s gradient orb candle holders. The inspiration for all this gradient love actually came from the cardboard box that I use to spray paint all my projects on. As I stepped outside this […]

One of the downfalls of this whole blogging thing is that I prepare so far in advance for holidays that by the time the holiday actually rolls around, I’m over it. Holiday’s are always my favorite times of the year. I love celebrating every holiday (although Christmas might just be my favorite) with DIY’s, crafts, […]

This post is sponsored by Silhouette. As always all opinions and ideas are my own.  On my birthday, in August, I spent an hour or two window shopping at all of the home decor stores around town snapping pictures for inspiration as I went. One of the things that stood out to me was a […]

Today, we’re talking goblets, and I don’t mean the giant, mead-holding, Renaissance Fair type. I’m talking mini, colorful, delicious dessert serving ones! I found a package of plain white goblets at the party store when sourcing a few items for a photo shoot, and fell in love with the shape, but the plain white just […]

Halloween is two weeks away, and while you may have your costume ready to go, how about a few last minute dessert ideas? These simple zebra cake zombies are a snack both kids and the young at heart will love and they could not be simpler to make. Aren’t they fun? Who wouldn’t want to […]

If you saw my post yesterday about my colorful Halloween party, then you know that I decided to style two completely different Halloween parties. Yesterday it was all about a colorful bash full of tropical flowers and pumpkins, but today’s party is a little darker and more sophisticated. The inspiration for today’s soiree began with […]

It should be of no surprise that I love color, but my use of color is not just for spring and summer. In years past I have felt limited to the orange/black colors of Halloween, but not this year. This year I decided to bring all the colors to Halloween. Today I will share a […]

If you have ever doubted the magic that is hot glue, you will be a full convert after this post. It may sounds like I am overselling it, but hot glue is more than just glue. It is an awesome crafting medium and can be used to create everything from molds to jewelry to these […]

This is my third ‘mad-scientist’ themed post, so I’m either in a very specific rut, or it’s turned into a rich gold-mine of ideas for me (you may remember my swirly dry ice test tube shots? Or my spiked blood pipette cupcakes?). I found a few glass beakers in the Target dollar spot and after […]

You all know how I love confetti. Remember that felt confetti pillow I made? Or those bars of confetti soap? Well, I am back at the felt confetti game today with these adorable confetti pumpkin baskets. Who says you have to use the standard plastic orange baskets for your kids when you can easily transform […]
