DIY :: Creative Wine Cork Crafts
With California Wine Month rapidly approaching I saw this as a perfect opportunity to share with you a collection super neat craft projects involving wine corks. There is something about wine corks that makes them such a great material for decorating. Maybe it’s the earthy, natural color (with a tinge of red stain), or perhaps their texture, whatever it is corks are one the most versatile materials I have ever used. In case you didn’t notice in my last post about DIY mason jar projects, it is safe to say that I could be considered somewhat of a hoarder when it comes to random craft supplies. What can I…

Honda’s Project Drive-In Saving a Part of American Culture
A few weeks ago I was thinking about how much fun it was to go to the drive-in as a kid. My parents owned a yellow VW Bus (which ended up being my first car), and my brother and I would sit in the back, in our pajamas, with our bag of popcorn so excited to watch the movie we could hardly contain ourselves! Going to the drive-ins was such a wonderful childhood experience that I wanted to see about taking my daughter to a local drive-in. Little did I know that the only drive-in left in California is located in the top of the state, hundreds of miles away. The…
