Easy Popsicle Stick Easel

Decorating can be hard, especially when one is endeavoring to do so on a budget, but if you’ve been here for any length of time, you are well aware that I am the queen of making a whole new wall out of a bit of trash and some glue. As a kid I tried to

Mantles and More

About a month ago, I undertook a weekend to build a mantlepiece with nothing but cardboard, paint, and a bit of tape, and the results were if I do say so myself, quite impressive especially given the literal pile of trash we started with. However, ever since constructing my mantle, I’ve been haunted by its

Marvelous Mantlepiece

Several weeks ago the string lights that made my seasonal feature wall in my living room burned out rather spectacularly, blowing out every single bulb at once.

Graduation Caps of Grandeur

Well, It’s finally happening, I’m graduating from college! One thing I really wanted to do at my high school graduation that was on the list of –strictly forbidden– which was a long list, was decorate my graduation cap. That 9.5″ square isn’t a ton of real estate, but I’m determined to make it magical. After

Mail sorting madness

When I first moved in to my own place I wanted to get a mail sorter so that any of the roommates could go down to the. Mailbox and it would look neat and tidy on the front table. I looked but I had a hard time finding one with three slots instead of 2,
