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 …
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 …

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 …

I know I'm not alone in the #CrazyAuntsClub being absolutely obsessed with my nephew and wanting to give him literally everything he may possibly enjoy, and as a crazy crafter, when the chance comes along to personalize something for him, I'm always on board before I even get asked. Before my gorgeous and perfect little …

I really love to keep lots of items as mementos, borderline "Hoarders: Buried Alive" level. Huge stash. I've saved a majority of these items to create scrapbooks because I'm very emotionally attached to memories of happy times, but what about those things that are too big/thick to be scrapbooked? Such was the case of my college Graduation …

I think at this point it's pretty clear I have a thing for maps and lists, right? But since pretty much all of this obsession has yielded multiple DIY projects I've accomplished with massive discounts, I'm going to give myself a pat on the back and call it a day. Cool? Cool. Do you remember WAYYYYY back …
