Here's an easy project that only requires a small amount of time and supplies. You'll need some Dollar Tree garden stakes, Mod Podge, paper and a printer.Once you grab your Dollar Tree supplies, head on over to The Graphics Fairy for some amazing vintage vegetable images. I found the ones I wanted and printed them off to the smallest setting my printer would allow.Next, simply rip out your images. (I distressed the edges of mine...
Long before I was a wife and mother, I started my crafting endeavors by making jewelry. It was the perfect distraction for what seemed at the time to be a stressful life (little did I know!). When I first started my Etsy shop, I had some earrings and necklaces in there that quickly sold and that was the end of that.

I'm looking forward to a fruitful garden this year. My dad has offered to help me pick the perfect spots in our yard. You see, we do well with tomatoes and cucumbers, and some random herbs, but my eggplant and green peppers never seem to take off. Anywho, I decided to start early this year with some of our seeds.

This time, I used this pretty boy angel image from The Graphics Fairy: I printed the image onto cardstock. Then I added some German glass glitter. I wanted it to be able to stand so I cut a slit on the bottom of the picture and then used an...
I finally got around to finishing up this wood tote I bought at Goodwill over the summer. I had painted it red, but then it just sat and sat in the garage. I asked my boys what they thought I should add to it. Santa won hands down. First I gave it like a gazillion coats of red paint. It was originally white with silver snowflakes on it. Try as I might, those darn snowflakes...
