Hello friends, and welcome to the last post in this series. I've been throwing at you ideas for that perfect DIY gift for the past two weeks. Catch up on previous posts HERE, HERE, and HERE, where I covered jewellery and accessories, gifts for the office or craft space, and paper gifts. The home is where the heart is, and as I get older I am truly living by this statement more and more every year. I've loved adding a few handmade touches to my home, as I'm sure you have if

I always say that I'm a paper crafter first because paper has always been my jam. Welcome to part III of this series of DIY gift ideas that I've been sharing for the holidays. If you missed the other two, click HERE for DIY jewellery and accessories, and HERE for craft room and office supply and decor gift ideas. With these paper projects below, you can't go wrong for anyone on your list. Believe it or not, this was a tough one to put together though. But all of these pap

Did you catch my last post in this series? Basically, I decided to do a number of posts of DIY gift ideas for the holidays because one just didn't cut it with all the photos/ideas I have to share. Today's post is gifting inspiration for supplies and decor for what's my favourite two rooms in a house: the craft room and office! I'm a believer that a well-decorated and well-supplied work space allows one to work his or her best. So get those fingers and tools ready for my 15

When I started gathering all the photos for this post, my original idea was to have one big compilation of DIY gifts for all the categories including accessories and jewellery, office and craft room, paper crafts, decor, and more. But I realized that there was just too much to show in one post, so I decided to break it down. Therefore, here's the first of several posts in this series of DIY projects that you can do for gifting this holiday season. Don't forget to share it

Hello, friends! Today's a P.D. day (or in my days at school we called it P.A. day), so my little one is home and tonight we're starting our Christmas decorating and I am psyched! Last year at the end of the season, I picked up a few small boxes of colourful ornaments. Every year I tend to do a mix of gold and red, but this year I want to add in some colour. So I am excited to unpack all my boxes and see what it is I'll keep, or need to DIY! But I hope that you have been enj

Hello friends, TGIF! The cold bug really hit me hard this week. I'm still not over it, but on the proper meds now. Hopefully, one more weekend couch-bound and I'll be feeling like my normal self again. What are your weekend plans? Will you be crafting? Hopefully you're not in the same boat as me. My favourite links this week are: From top left: DIY Minimalist Paper Desk Clock via Maritza Lisa DIY Gold & Geometric Circle Art DIY Half Circle Picture Frames via Fall for DIY Gl

When I hit publish on yesterday's post, I realized that my calling it both "Christmas" and "holiday" can be confusing. But I use those words interchangeably here in the blog to mean that I celebrate Christmas, but also realize that some people don't, and many of my Christmas posts are simply festive for the holiday season whatever it is you celebrate. I also only use the word "holiday" around Christmas time, so it's not to mean Thanksgiving or Easter or any other time. Phew

I am already in the gist of Christmas crafting, but before I get to sharing some of those projects here, I thought we'd have a look back at some of my favourite ideas from previous years. As you know I'm a paper crafter through and through, but I also played with yarn, stencils, paint, and vinyl to bring you creative ideas for the home, gift ideas, and gift wrap. Some of my favourite projects included: DIY COLOUR BLOCK PAPER MACHE ORNAMENTS: What I like about these ornaments

With Halloween being next Tuesday, did you think I would share anything other than Halloween crafts? I think not! Check out this week's favourite links below. Which one would you do, if you could choose only one? Or you can do them all! Set up the table with punny festive cupcakes, underneath the pinata, centred with a floral skull centrepiece, and lighted with votive candles. Then wrap up some spooky gifts, and mummy-looking gift tags to finish them off. LIKE THAT? :P Hap
