it’s a cinch {party features}

Hey y’all! First off, a big phat Thank you! to everyone who has supported the first MISSION: Possible party, It’s a Cinch.  If you missed it, there are 286 easy peasy, super simple projects linked up to give you some fun, simple project ideas.  What a great resource for a little spring craftiness.  :) I had so much fun visiting each and every one, today I’m going to share some that I can totally see myself trying at some point if I ever get around to it. I just did an easy little project using empty glass jars that I’ll be posting about tomorrow…but look at how Kristi at Addicted 2 Decorating used them to make this awesome hallway artwork.

Happy New Year!!! (and a few announcements)

Woo to the Hoo to good ol’, er new, 2012! I just want to drop a quick line to start off the year with a few announcements, in addition to the tidings of good cheer, of course.  Hopefully everyone had the opportunity to ring in the new year with the ones you love.  I had a splendid evening and am stoked about all that the twenty twelve may just bring my way.  You too? First, did you guys see Kelly’s post at Eclectically Vintage on Friday?  What?  You didn’t? Well, you’re missing out because it was all about ME! Yessirree, Kelly did a whole post about my newly mapped dresser.  And while you’re over there checking me out, all you parents should see what creative things she did with her Elf on a Shelf this year.  So fun!

2011 Shout Outs!

As 2011 comes to an end I feel inspired to give a big fat Shout Out! to everyone who took the time to Shout Out! about me at some point this year. Yes, I do realize that I’ve only been doing this little blog thing for a couple of months so it’s not really a year worth of shout outs.  But, it is the end of the year, and I’m all about tying up lose ends so I need to be sure to give back the love. These lovely people took the time to feature me in one way or another and I want to shout from the roof tops how thankful I am for that.  It sure did help me reach more people than just a few family members and friends – who are basically obligated to follow along anyway.  ;) I encourage everyone who takes the time to read my blog to check out at least a couple of these guys as well.  If you click their buttons below you will be redirected to their post featuring my project (because it really is all about me) but take a minute and browse around their blogs as well.  I mean, they clearly have good taste if they’re featuring my stuff.  :) {Decorated Driftwood Christmas Tree} – These guys featured my post highlighting the fully decorated driftwood tree with all homemade ornaments.  Remember, the tree with lighting and ornaments cost less than $15 total.  Merry Christmas to me! {Homemade Christmas Ornaments} – These guys featured my post with the tutorials on how to make a beaded snowflake, book page star and light bulb ornament.  The ornaments that only made it through the ringer one time.  One time. Do you know the old school song that says that.  ”One time.  One … Continue reading
