I was looking for a fun alternative to the typical candy valentines, without making me into that “boring” mom who “never” gives anything fun. I think these Pencil Arrow Valentines will be “write” on target! I made these with stuff I already had around the house (except the fun pencils), and they are easy enough that even young crafters can help you!
I absolutely love giving gifts. Shopping for them, wrapping them, getting cards to accompany them (I have a weird obsession with stationery for a 21 year old), and especially watching people open them. Plus, I always get a little ego boost when my gift is the most adorably wrapped in the pile. So, here are some ideas for the next few presents you’ll give, cuteness factor courtesy of washi tape.

Let Dad know he is one of the stars of the family with this fun card for Father’s Day. It’s a quick and easy to make if you need more than one, but it expresses the feeling of the day perfectly. Share with him your love and appreciation for him and all he does with this special card.
I must have birds on the brain lately. I love waking up to the chirping of the birds outside my window, it’s one of my favorite things about spring. I decided to create a fun and easy craft to bring the birds inside my home as well.

Another case of “I want this but I don’t want to pay that ridiculous price tag.”
Recently, while browsing a home goods website, I came across a garland made of adorable little vintage fabric tassels and pretty string. Of course, the easy-to-make and not entirely hard to conceptualize art piece came with a high price tag. Time to get to work.
