25 Days of Craftiness

Christmas a few years back...

 

Greetings friends! I have been so inspired by all the DIY-ing on the world wide web that I have decided to try my hand at some fun holiday cheer. The list below are just a few of my favorites, and I would like to try leading up to the big 2-5 of December. The catch is that I am trying my best to mostly use items I already have for these crafts. Wish me luck!

Be sure to check out my Pinterest board for more inspiration, and be sure to try some do-it-yourself-ing this month. :) Enjoy!

Hello bloggites - short post today...doesn't the title of this post make you want to bust out singing "The Sound of Music" soundtrack? I actually just did, and it was epic. Sometimes I wish I could just bust out singing in real life and everyone around me would join in and we would start dancing like in all the classic musicals (think Sound of Music, West Side Story, Rent...etc). I digress...

Here are some things I have been eyeing lately. What is catching your eye these days?

 

Such a knarly necklace. Sharks are so cool.

 

My nails would look amazing with these awesome bird nail transfers.

 



This bag is so beautiful I woudn't have the heart to give it away.

 

My heart and my home are in Oregon. Love this place mucho.

Well Spring is supposed to have sprung about a week ago, but here in the City of Roses, there was sun, rain, hail, and even SNOW this week!! But although the weather cannot seem to make up its mind, I, on the otherhand, am excited for Spring, and these items remind me that Spring is definately on the way!
