Some NSFW content ahead. You've been warned! What do you do when you have three themes that could be standalone concepts for a party, but you can't decide which one to go with? You go with all three, of course. My grandma, Dilia, is a very special lady. She's the only grandparent I grew up …

One year. 365 days. 525,600 minutes (RENT fans, you're welcome.) Can't believe it! Even though I originally opened my shop in November of 2014, I was flying under the radar, relying solely on Etsy's SEO and Pinterest to make sales - until May of 2015 that is! That's when I finally mustered up the courage …

For the most part, crafters and craft shop owners have a little bit of a niche, whether it be paint, paper crafting, glass work, wood burning, etc. I, on the other hand, am all over the place, excited to experiment, trying to soak up and learn as much as I can, and living out my …
A couple of months ago I created an editorial calendar with topics to write about so that I wouldn't struggle to keep up with my blogging commitment, and one of the items I wanted to touch on is my love for Etsy. Besides the benefit of the platform over every other e-commerce site out there (in my humble …
Creating something brand new or finding truly original content/products is very hard these days. For example, think about current TV executive board meetings... In my head, they go a little something like this: TV Guy 1: Hey guys, let's talk about ideas for a new show for next fall TV Guy 2: How about we remake/reunite …
Hey guys! I'm sorry for being such a crappy blogger. I genuinely enjoy writing, especially about all my #craftventures, but sometimes the pressure of being constantly present and always delivering great content gets the better of me, and I fail to find inspiration for a good piece. In order to combat this issue for 2016, …
Lately, when I leave my house I feel a little bit of anxiety... for being away from my craft room, out of fear I'll need a tool or something else I may have in there while I'm away. Or if I have an order in progress, I'm afraid of my house catching on fire, not …

I don't know if I've said it enough, but I'm absolutely, irrevocably, head-over-heels in love with my nephew. My little piece of heaven, David Alejandro, is a ball of smiles that melts me into oblivion and when he says "I yo yu" (I love you) the paramedics need to be called to resuscitate me, only …

Turning 25 was a big deal to me, and I definitely celebrated it as such. I had a blast planning the party, although I felt like two months was too much time, and I drove myself a little crazy coming up with ideas and spending all my monies on Amazon (in Prime we trust!). So …
I've been an avid crafter my whole life (hard to notice, right?) and even though they say to really be an expert at something you must do it for 10,000 hours, what I tend to enjoy the most are new challenges and brand new projects I haven't tried before. On the business side, this has …
