The reason I started WCB (the blog & Etsy shop) was because working for a software company in Corporate America was not very conducive to me expressing my creativity, and I needed an outlet. Even after leaving SAP, I'm still in touch with my colleagues and every so often, they reach out for a craft …
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, …
What do you do when you're going on a bachelorette with your group of closest friends? Lots of things, but if you're me... You. Make. Props! One of my really close friends, Liana, is tying the knot at the end of the month and so we're going all out with the "last fling before the …

There's no greater feeling than working on the things you love to do, but when you get a chance to have your work be a part of the special day for a family member, it just makes everything 10 times better. When my sister got engaged, it was a very special time since she's the …
After my 25th birthday party, I decided to make my credit card take a sabbatical, because with December holidays so close by, I was sure the magnetic band would fall off at some point. The thing is, Halloween was the following week, and my friends and I had spoken about throwing a party at one …
