I love all of the different patterns and colors that are available in these tapes. I have seen some great ideas in packaging and gift cars, but … [Read more...]
I have been ooohing and aaaahing over all of the Chevron projects around blogland lately. It got me motivated to make some Chevron art for my home.

You might know that we turned our Dining Room into my Craft Room/Office, And I LOVE it. It was one of the best decisions that we ever made. In doing it, we filled in a big arch with drywall and installed big french doors. I love the french doors because they let in the light from both directions. The drawback is having your craft room visible from the front door -- eeeeek! {Dining Room … [Read more...]

This year I wanted to do something a little different -- so I went a little more whimsical. I have always wanted to … [Read more...]
