I'm not usually in favor of hand-making gifts for my friends - there's nothing wrong with it but I just feel like the types of items my friends like are not usually things I can make myself - but I broke my rule for this one, and it actually wasn't by choice. My good friend …
Ok guys, so by this point I've shown you the invitations and the place tiles, and I'm going to try to make this as short as possible so - welcome to my best friend's Moroccan Bridal Shower! AH! The first big event I've been preparing for for MONTHS as Maid of Honor finally came and …

The "why buy it for $7 when you can make it for $92 worth of craft supplies?" meme runs my life. I have a very hard time just buying something when I KNOW I can totally make it myself and it will turn out almost identical to the original. The satisfaction of seeing something made …
My best friend's father-in-law to be just turned 60 years old this past weekend! What a milestone, and such a beautiful number. I am very fond of the 60th birthday because while doing some research when I was planning my mom's 60th turn around the sun (shh, please don't tell her I mentioned that number, …
