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 …

Shortest "blog" post ever! Just had to celebrate the fact that after three stores and 16 dresses, my best friend found her wedding dress today! I was ecstatic to be a part of this day for her, and of course I had to make special props for it 🙂 Stay tuned to see the …

Every year, I feel like there is a theme around a certain new craft/element that keeps reappearing throughout different orders. 2015 was the character letters, 2016 was vinyl, and one of this year's big contenders were big props. I'd never really made big props before, but it has become a staple of many orders this …

The inspiration for this craft were this picture and this one too. If I'm honest, when I initially got this order, I ranked the items in my head …

Friends, I don't know how this is going to happen, but we don't have a choice. I have officially accepted orders for three events happening on the same day, and another one a week after, meaning I'm working simultaneously on four big orders right now. I get very excited when this happens, and it's not …
And for that, the C in WCB stands for Centennial today 😀 I can't recall if I've written much about DPhiE (Delta Phi Epsilon, my sorority) on the blog, but I can summarize it with the following: 100 years ago, five women who were shunned from joining other sororities due to their religious beliefs, banded …
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 …

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 …
