I love the look of concrete home decor pieces. I’ve wanted to try my hand at making a few for a while, but have been intimidated by the idea of mixing and using concrete mix. Last month at SNAP conference, I was introduced to a new product called Maker’s Mix, which is a light-weight concrete […]

I, like many 20-30 year old women in the US, am a little bit obsessed with Target and all the fun, colorful, home decor pieces they always seem to be churning out. It’s even my dream to one day design my own collection for Target. Kailo Chic for Target has a nice ring to it, […]

Cinco de Mayo is tomorrow and while tacos and nachos are awesome, this year lets buck traditional Mexican fare and make a Mexican inspired pizza to celebrate instead. Living in central Texas there is definitely no shortage of Tex-Mex restaurants and we eat tacos at least once a week, but sometimes you want a little […]

Yesterday I shared an edible doughnut recipe with you that looked like a piece of art, and today I want to share these macaron photo holders that look good enough to eat but are actually made from clay. Like the cupcake, macarons are currently having their time in the baked goods spot light. While macarons […]

Mother’s day is this Sunday and for some reason, in my mind, Mother’s day is synonymous with donuts. My family loooves to get donuts on birthdays and holidays. This year, why not celebrate mom by painting her a plate of these colorful, abstract art donuts?! Aren’t they beautiful? I’m sure any mom will love them! […]

After seeing amazing inspiration from several of my blogger friends (Sugar and Cloth and Pizzazerie) and after having so much fun styling my spring table, I wanted to try my hand at styling a Mother’s Day brunch. I had so much fun deciding on a color theme and trying my hand at my first balloon […]

I started setting up my Mother’s Day brunch table by using my standard, go-to, white table cloth as my base. But as I layered on the plates, place-mats, and flatware, I realized that the plain white table cloth was a little too, well, plain white. That’s where the magic of adhesive vinyl from Expressions Vinyl […]

This weekend I created the most amazing table setting for a Mother’s day brunch filled with varying shades of pink, orange, and gold, which I will share with you on Thursday. As part of my table setting I wanted to try a little something new and fold my napkins extra special for Mom. I found […]

I recently was introduced to these magical little plants known as mini faux succulents. They are small, look like the real thing, and they are just perfect for crafting with. Now I have seen regular sized faux succulents before, but these little mini ones got my mind racing with possibilities. Today I wanted to share […]

You may have seen last week’s post where I talked about the new Mint machine Silhouette sent me and how I used it to create my own watercolor business cards for the blog conference I just attended, as well as to stamp fabric for my own fruity snack pouches that help keep me snacking healthy. […]

Who wants color?! ~”We want color!”~ (that was you all answering back). But seriously, I really love how these DIY brushstroke plates turned out! I started by playing around with my new paint set and then, after mixing a few shades of pink, white, and orange, came up with the absolute cutest color palate. A […]

  With Mother’s day approaching, I’ve been trying to think of some great gifts. I love creating something handmade, so I settled on a glasses case. I’m a bit of a sewing nut (my floor full of thread pieces can attest to this), but I know it isn’t for everyone. However, this sunglasses case is […]
