Quick Holiday Cheer!

So I had to let you know about this great book that came out just in time for the holidays!  I wonder what kind of craft recipes Martha Stewart came up with for this book!  This is super exciting (much more than I would have expected!) and I think I need to try out some of these projects!

I'll keep you updated!

A Penny Saved... is a Penny Floor!

I know... very cheesy...  but I had to do it!  On a serious note, this floor is incredible! You could install this floor in an entryway, bathroom or a playroom and cover with a durable high gloss epoxy! I'm getting really excited here! 

Have a great weekend!

The Big Reveal... a DIY Present!

 

Here it is - my own paper project.  I loved the hyperfocus and OCD-ness that was necessary to complete this project!  While I cannot take credit for the entire design, the technical ability to complete something like this was all me!  The inspiration came from Julene, who does an amazing job illustrating and gave me a great idea for a 4 year anniversary present.  The quote is by Warren Buffett who is my my boyfriend's "investing" idol.  I like this quote because it means two completely different things and is important to both of us.
