Perfect Valentine’s Day Gift :: DIY Clay Heart Dish
February is the month of love. Even though I don’t go over the top for Valentine’s Day, I like to write little love notes and make cute easy crafts for the guys in my house so they feel extra special. I love to use clay for a lot of my projects and crafts and when I involve my son, 3D art is way more fun for him. Clay is also his favorite medium to play with. Sculpey clay is so fun with all the wonderful colors you can pick from so you don’t even have to paint. And as a bonus it is pretty durable after you baked it in your own oven. You…

Crafts :: The Giving Plate
Thanksgiving is a week away and to avoid last minute shopping for gifts I am baking cookies to fill my giving plates.

With the holiday season upon us, the Giving Plate is perfect for creating your own traditions while reflecting on the meaning of the special time you spend with those you love. Take turns with the Giving Plate—give it to Mom or Grandma even a friend—and maybe you will receive it back, a special reminder of one another.

DIY Housewarming Gift Ideas
There must be something in the air because I have five friends who have moved homes in the past few months! As anyone knows who has moved this can be really stressful, especially when kids are involved. I know when we moved out of our apartment over 13 years ago I could not believe how much stuff we had in that was somehow jammed into every corner of our 1,000 sq. foot place! There is something quite freeing about decluttering as you pack don’t you think – it is like a fresh start! Since I know how stressful moving day and move-in month can be I wanted to make…

The Perfect Gift for Father’s Day!
Last week my daughter’s teacher gave this adorable succulent gift to the volunteer’s that helped out this year. She had all the children sign the glass vase with their names. I thought this would make the perfect Father’s Day, Mother’s Day, Grandparent’s Day and yes, Teacher Appreciation Day gift! For Father’s Day – you can have your kids write Happy Father’s Day and then have them sign it. Or whatever strikes your fancy! A favorite quote perhaps? This gift really touched my heart and I know that I will treasure it always! Right now it is sitting next to my computer. She said she used succulent’s from her mother’s garden and made about 20 of them. Personalized gifts…

They have some really fun…
