My niece LOVES Harry Potter and was moving into her very own “big girl” room. She is 10- very bright, loves books, loves owls and magic, and definitely not a fan of the color pink! Her mom wanted to give her a room that reflected her love of all things Harry Potter, but not get too […]
Love Birds Frame Wreath
Scrolling, scrolling….. Bam!! Inspiration lights up my brain. This beautiful art work I saw on Pinterest from Papirolas Coloridas Blog totally inspired me to create a Valentines Day craft.

This is the first of all the rooms in our newly finished basement that I am sharing about. It is actually the first room to actually be done DONE- furnished and decorated.

Making Lavender Scented Diamond Soaps
I love to craft…obviously! Ha! But, I also love when I can get crafty with my kids and spark up some creativity in them. Soap making was something we all found fascinating and fun…and slightly addicting. It was simple enough that my 5 year old could help, but complex enough that my 9 year old […]

Watercolor Emoji Art
This is a great way for your tween or teen to play around with watercolors. They can use a wet on wet technique by creating a circle with just water, then dabbing in shades of yellow. This craft will not take long. Waiting for the paint to dry so you can draw on the faces […]
