The Blog Box

By Craftroom Storage, Room Decor

Hi Everyone,

I love homemade gifts. I love creative gifts. I love things that help me craft or blog. When all 3 of these ideas blend together – I am in HEAVEN.

My amazingly creative and beautiful friend Dayle Dracy, fellow blogger at Eat Things Make Stuff, gifted me this super creative gift. She calls it “The Blog Box”. Basically it’s a box with a bunch of items that can help you’re creative flow or cure blogger frustrations. I thought the idea was SO creative and loved reading the individual notes added to each item. It’s like a personalized gift basket of awesomeness!

Here’s the outside with a peak of the contents.

Here’s the fun items she included in this box for my blog.

The notes read:

“For when you’re feeling motivated”

“When you have too much to do”

“When your site crashes”

“When you need to reward yourself for an awesome post”

“When you need a little motivation”

When you feel like procrastinatingggggg”

A Blogger Christmas – Craft Edition

By Cards, Craftroom Storage, Planner Stationary & Accessories, Room Decor

Hey Everyone!

I’m back from a long and needed holiday hiatus! I know you may have already taken down your Christmas trees and forgotten that the holidays were only 3 weeks ago, however, I am still basking in the holiday decor at home and dreading taking all of it down in the upcoming week. For my “I’m back” post, I thought it would be fun to share a few awesome gifts I received during my hiatus. I was blessed to receive several gifts, but I wanted to share a few items that relate directly to my blog (or blog-post creating process). I filmed a quick video so you could see them.

Here’s a video of 6 items I received that are super helpful when you’re a crafty blogger.

Thanks so much for watching and stopping by and wishing you a happy new year!

Holiday Cards 2014 – Day 20

By Cards

Merry Christmas and welcome to Day 20! We made it!

This is by far and large my favorite project of the whole series. I was so excited when this was completed and knew I wanted to share it for day 20! This house features various intricate cuts that features the use of over 8 different papers and multiple gems. It is decorated on each side too!  So any angle of view is captivating. It can definitely be used to house any little gift or add a little battery powdered tea-light candle to make it a decor piece.This little gem will housed on our coffee table during the holiday season for friends and family to enjoy.

Thanks so much for all your positive feedback on the series and I truly enjoyed putting this together for all my readers. Until next year – I wish you all a blessed and happy holiday season.

Craft Fair – Configuration Box

By Room Decor

Hi all,

It’s been a busy few weeks in the craft room as I am in full swing of  preparation for the holiday season. This is the first year that I will be selling Christmas themed items. It is also the first year that I will be participating in a craft fair with a friend. Planning for the fair has been fun and overwhelming all at the same time. Fortunately I feel that I have lots of ideas and just need to start cranking them out. Currently, I have several projects on the table and am working away at each of them. I can’t wait to share them all!

Here is today’s finished product. It is a Christmas reconfiguration box.  This box is  fun in that it has a little ‘puzzle’ element to it. Each of the little boxes can be rearranged into a different design. Pictured here is one version.

Here is the same box just slightly reconfigured (you can entirely rearrange them if you’d like). There are numerous configurations that work for this box.

ConfigurationBox2

These projects are almost too nice to give away. Thanks for stopping by! =)
