Planner Clip Virtual Make and Take
Since I can’t be with you in person, I’d like.to do a.little virtual make and take (or tutorial) to make your own planner.embellishment. Enjoy. I’m using my friend Donna Salazar’s awesome and sweet products. You might be saying, what if I don’t have those particular supplies? They are awesome I tell you but if you don’t here are some other options I found. Download, size accordingly and print off a face such as this one from the Graphics Fairy which is seen here. Then print off a crown here or here. Cut out, color, embellish, glue to a clip and enjoy in your planner.

Easy Bag Upcycle
Do you have odds and ends, scraps of beauty, little pieces, bits and baubles in your art/craft area or studio? If you’re like me, there are all those pretty bits that I have a difficult time saying goodbye to. So, recently I washed a linen bag with a logo on it and when I took it out of the wash, the logo was gone. I needed to add some loveliness to this comfortable bag of mine so I grabbed some beautiful pieces, made some fabric flowers, brought out some stamps, used some tacky glue and started to simply add some dimension and fun to my bag. It’s my mixed media bag . . .…

Upscaled IKEA RIT Dyed Throw
I love some of the collections at IKEA. Do you have an IKEA near you? But often you may find something you love but it doesn’t fit your color scheme. RIT dye to the rescue! I can’t remember when I didn’t use RIT dye in my home. A beautiful Ofelia throw from IKEA for $19.99, a bottle of RIT for $5.33 (Hobby Lobby has it cheaper) and some water you have yourself an upscaled lovely throw for your home.

Word of the Year – Good Expectations for 2015
This past week it was so appropriate that I received an early copy of Jewelry Affaire that contained an article and necklace tutorial on my word of the year for 2014. 2014 was a year of sadness, uncertainty, and challenge filled with some times of joy, accomplishment and celebration as well. My word of 2014 was TRUST and I created a necklace to remind me of just that. My word for 2015 is COURAGE and my verse, “Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men (and women) of courage; be strong.” ~ 1 Corinthians 16:13. I enjoy creating something as a reminder throughout the year of my word and goal. I want…

Quick Holiday Hostess Gift Idea
Well, the boutique went well and I was able to raise some funds for my daughter and her school trips. Each trip is a special opportunity (one through a special choir and dance group and the other through an honor science program). She and my mom were a lovely help at the boutique. One of the items I sold at the boutique were these candles. I just thought I’d share the how to on these. I was thinking, these would make a quick and nice hostess gift if you were headed to party or needed a last minute gift. Supplies: Long Burning Emergency (sometimes used for Vigils) Candle as seen…
