I love the 4th of July! To celebrate I made this vintage American Mantel, an American Flag collage, and an American Flag Banner. This banner took me about 10 minutes to make and was very inexpensive. I got lucky and found all of the flags at a thrift store. But they all can be found …

A few months ago, I was sitting at my kitchen table trying to make something out of this craft (which unfortunately didn’t really happen) and I saw a Pony in my neighbors yard.

Recently, my friends and I put on a baby shower for our friend Ashley. Kim, Rebecca, Julie, JoLynn, and I all pitched in. It’s amazing what you can do as a collaborative team and the cuteness that can be created together. The theme was about celebrating Ashley’s little peanut. And of course, we decorated using …

Some value it more than others but everyone likes knowing why they are loved. So these jars will make just about anyone happy. But it …
My son, the baby Russell and Mason, the Mr. Frederickson met on Halloween through a family friends’ coworker. We had a blast doing a photo shoot with both of them. I wanted to know how he made his costume so I asked him and he made a description of How To make a Mr. Fredricksen costume …
