Mosaic Tile Tray!? Yes please! 🎨✨

Last weekend for book club, we took a break from the pages to get crafty with these kits. Honestly, it was way easier than I expected!

The process:
- Picked our patterns 📐
- Glued down the tiles 🟨
- Mixed and spread the grout 🥣
- Wiped it clean to reveal the shine 🧽 ✨

I’m obsessed with how these turned out. Who else has tried a grout and tile project?

Cheers to 7 Years of Inspirational DIY Guru! ✨

Happy anniversary to this creative community! It is hard to believe it’s been seven years since I first started sharing my projects on here. What began as a simple outlet for my love of making has evolved into a journey that truly brings happiness to me. So thank you to all of you that have been following my journey.

Looking back, we’ve been through so many amazing "eras" together. This page has seen, my very first video tutorials on YouTube, the Home Decor phase, Cocktails and Crafting Classes, card making learning and then teaching and selling, crafting kits, and all sorts of crafting experiences.

Every project has been a building block for the next, and I’m so grateful for every one of you who has cheered me on along the way.

A Little Meet the Maker...
To all my new followers—welcome! I’m the face behind the crafts. When I’m not covered in glitter or working on my latest craft, you can usually find me:

• Getting Lost in a Book: Usually a contemporary/cozy romance or a "romantasy" that I’ve probably bedazzled the cover. 📚
• Creating Something New: Whether it's a custom tote or a new paper craft, my hands are rarely still.✂️
• Vibing to Country Music or Watching my Shows: There is always a country playlist or show going in the background of my craft room. 🤠
• Exploring the Outdoors: I love National Parks and exploring them! 🏜

The Future is Full of Inspiration
As I look toward the next year, I’m leaning into crafting of all mediums. I want to keep exploring new ways to create, learning more crafts, and most importantly continuing to be your Inspirational DIY Guru.

Thank you for being part of this story. I can't wait to see what we create next! 🥂🎨

Adding sparkle in a whole new way. 🤠✨

So glad I got to show these to in person and get all my books signed, thanks to ! Swipe to see her reaction—it’s safe to say she approves of the extra flair. Adding some sparkle to these beautiful covers was so much fun. Cash and Duke are looking 11/10, and Sawyer and Wyatt are officially on the schedule for a makeover. 😉

Love all the behind the scenes content we received last night, learning about and her process. Like how , was her celebrity inspo for Cash! One of my favs!

It’s surprisingly easy to gem your books yourself! I’m posting the full "how-to" over on soon, so go give it a follow if you want your shelves to shine. ✨

🍀 Spreading a little luck yesterday 🍀

I've had this clover paper for years and finally pulled it out to use it this March! I also pulled out my retired Clover punch and punched out clovers from green paper. Then I took a sponge dauber and created a blending look.

To create the sentiment label I also used a label punch, and the new stamp set from Good Luck! I took Versamark and embossed it with gold powder!

Put it all together and attach it to some rainbow candy! 🌈

Hope you had a mischievous Tuesday 😊🍀

I had every intention of posting this garland sooner, as I had it made the first week of March ☘️ And I had every intention of making another for my home office with my cute St. Patrick's Day decor, but ya know life gets busy sometimes ha 🤣

So here you go, the night before St. Patrick's Day, I'm posting a craft. So save it for next year. 😉

Anyways all you need for this is some green Patterned paper, a trimmer and a stapler! Cut your Patterned paper in 1" thick, 12" long strips. Then build 4 hearts and staple them all together to form one clover. Then staple them to each other to form a garland!

So easy, yet so fun! Plus I used more paper from my craft stash!! ☘️
