I have spent my life moving from place to place as the child of a military service member. Then when I married my husband, I moved with him due to his job. Because I spent my life moving from place to place, I have not only become an expert at packing, I also have had …
Colors are alive! (In my art teacher voice). Not really, but color does emit a feeling. It’s like thinking back to that delicious strawberry cake grandma used to make and how it made you feel. Okay, so none of my grandmothers made strawberry cake. I only had one grandma who baked, and she made a …
So one of my sisters is a nurse, and she wanted a headband with buttons so that she could attach the elastic from her facemask to it. It would eliminate the pain on her ears from wearing a mask all day. My sister doesn’t sew and has made it clear that she doesn’t plan on …
You don’t have to have a craft room to have certain things that you would keep on hand for projects. I see these fantastic craft rooms of other fellow creatives, and I start to drool. You may only have a drawer where you keep things that you used for one project. Perhaps it’s that paint …

Is it hard to pick the right color? Yes, if you are on a game show and each color holds a different value of money with the highest amount being $1 Million. Whew! That’s challenging. Color shouldn’t be that scary or challenging. Why? Because you can always change your design and trust me designs, decorations, …
So I see these fantastic kid’s art wall ideas on Pinterest, where you use chalkboard paint or place a frame around a scribble. They look great, and I want my kids to have that someday…. at their own house! My children do love to scribble. For a moment, my oldest son was writing hieroglyphics on …
