Savoring the Sweetest Parts of Life
If you’re like me, you just can’t toss out those cute brown paper boxes each month from Birchbox. I recently reorganized all my make up in our bathroom and was able to free up a ton of space with this Magnetic Make Up Frame DIY and some leftover Birchboxes. Here’s how you can make your own stacking boxes for whatever knick-knacks you have that need organizing… I traced the top and side of the box lids, following the shape of {Read More}
I received some great advice a few weeks ago from my friend Renee Do, who I affectionately call Do. As in “Do, a dear, a female dear…” She is pretty special to me for a number of reasons: 1. We traveled through England, Ireland and Wales together when we were teenagers. 2. She is one of the most honest, forthright, yet modest people I know. 3. She likes long emails just as much as I do. When I started up Swoonful {Read More}
Today is my childhood best friend’s birthday! Kelsey turns 25 and now is oh-ficially a member of the “25 and older” club. She was really dreading the big two-five, but I have a feeling it’ll grow on her. I decided to put her together a little gift box of sorts. Nothing special, just tiny gifts from the heart, i.e., the best kind. What’s inside? Kelsey recently learned how to crochet and I have been trying to pick up the skill {Read More}
This project is an oldie-but-a-goodie, posted way back in February 2011 on my old blog. It’s super cute, easy and got rave reviews , so I am happy to share again. I’m shamed to admit that members of my family (and close friends) will be receiving their Valentine’s Day cards/gifts late this year. I finally got them all mailed off this morning, and still have one more to mail tomorrow. I know, terrible, right? What can I say? I’m just {Read More}
I know we’ve all been packing up ornaments and holiday decor, and probably don’t want to think about peppermint or wrapping paper for another eleven months or so… but in the name of Crafting I must share these photos with you, because I a firm believer that all finished projects should be celebrated in some small way. This past Christmas I dove headfirst into embroidery and hand-stitching and fell in love with this craft! I have more projects in the {Read More}
Hey there! I hope you are all having an awesome week. I am still getting back in the swing of things after Spring Break, but for the most part my week back at work has been a good one. Last night Shelton and I were out late with friends and I am certainly feeling it today. White Russians might have been involved. Yesterday Shelton and I did a lot of job research, which is exciting and scary at the same {Read More}
I love calendars. A lot. When I came across this project late last year, I knew I had to recreate it for myself. I think it’s sad that calendars are only bought/given around Christmas, haphazardly wrapped and thrown under the tree just to add to the stack of gifts. Then they are thrown away at the end of every year. Such a waste. This is not your average calendar. Or your average gift, if you happen to make one {Read More}
