This is another thing that I found... perfect for my mom's camera!!!

go see this link :)

personalized name block

I learned how to make this last week at a family reunion, isn't is cute? I have a cousin who is all about crafts, just like me! So, all of the girl cousins got to do a craft every day. This one was my favorite :) When I got home, I went out to home depot and got some 2x4, took it home, and cut it up. (this is a little different from what I made at the family reunion) This plain old piece of wood turned into this:

Isn't it cute??? I love it! I put in in Caroline's room and it matches PERFECTLY! I forgot to take pictures of the process, but I will try to do a step by step tutorial later.

Birthdays?

Anyone have a girl that is having a birthday party soon? Need a cute invitation? Go see my etsy shop! I have quite a few adorable party invitations for just $1.75. Spread the word! Go check them out here. Below is just one of them :)

I like Mike

I know that this isn't crafty, but I have to get this message out there. My uncle Mike Lee is running for U.S. senate for Utah against Tim Bridgewater. Mike wold be a great senator, so if you live in Utah... please, please, please vote for him! If you live elsewhere, please tell any relatives and/or friends about him. Now VOTE VOTE VOTE on Tuesday the 22nd! To learn a little more, go to my aunt Melissa's blog, Jordan Lee, or mikelee2010.com!

flower pens

These cute flower pens make a great gift for anyone! Or even keep them for yourself. I have always wanted to learn how to make these and now I have :) Head over to Crazy Craft World to get the tutorial!

clip holder

Do you need somewhere to keep all of your clips? Well, I have came up with a cute, and easy idea! I sell clips at my local dance studio that I teach ar and needed to keep them organized! This was just perfect and would work great to hang up on the wall in your own home :)

First, buy a plain white canvas from a craft store (I got this at Michaels) and paint it whatever color you want with acrylic paint... I think it would also be really cute to cover with fabric! But, I needed to get this done quickly, so paint would work the best for me.

Now, hot glue or staple thick ribbon to the back (hot glue works the best in my opinion) and get it tight, but not too tight, you want the clips to be able to grip on.

This is what the front should look like. (sorry, this picture is sideways)

Or this... This one is bigger because it holds the silk flower clips that are much larger.

This is the very end, finished result with the silk flower clips. For some reason, some of the white rhinestones look yellowish. Oh well!

p.s. If you do this, please blog about it and leave me a comment so I can link over and see yours!

mailing anything anytime soon???

Want to mail something (like a gift) to someone, and still have it look like its wrapped up? Well now you can, without having to buy an ugly yellow padded envelope! Sew Sweet Stitches (click on the link for the tutorial) came up with this idea to make your own, cute, personalized one! I would love to do this, especially because I like to mail things... don't you think it's fun to get something in the mail??? Especially if it looks cute! Why not make someones day and send them something nice! :)

Also, Here is another thing that I like to make, and it doesn't cost anything! Do you ever run out of envelopes? Problem solved! Just print off the pattern below (click on the picture for the big size) and cut it out and follow the directions. There you go! Your own envelope :) Print it onto scrapbook paper to make it cuter.

It's a girl thing!

Hair that is!! I don't have enough to pull it back though because I got it cut... but I can still practice on other people! Head over to It's a girl thing at cute2try hairdos for some really cute ideas. Here is just one picture below... she has very thurough tutorials with step by step pictures :) I might like this better if it were in the middle, but it is way cute to the side as well!

MPM Designs... Cute watches!

O.K., so I know that this isn't really crafty, but I HAD to post this! My mom got one of these watches a while ago, and I wanted one! I came across this blog and found a whole bunch! I am so getting one! I really like the light pink and white :) There is a sale that ends next Sunday... Get 2 for $25! Go check it out!

These aren't all of the colors, see the blog for all of them. I LOVE the rhinestones, so cute!

Birthday Cake

I love cake... and making them too! Actually, one is in the oven right now :) I found this off of Kristen's Inspire Me blog, which then had a link to J-Stan's Bakery blog. This cake is so cute! I have always wanted to make a cake with fondant, but they have never turned out. This fondant actually tastes good too... It doesn't taste like plastic because it is marshmellow. Even if you don't like marshmellow, it still looks cute :)

Click her link for the recipe!

Below is a picture of Kristen's 1 tier cake for her daughter's birthday.

Cute huh? I NEED to try this!

Pretzel Crayons

I got this idea off of tip junkie... this link! It is so cute, perfect for an end of the year teacher gift... I know most people are out of school by now, but for those of you (like us) who are still going strong, try this out! they are pretzels covered in white (or colored?!) chocolate. Then she has a free template for the wrappers and a box!

double ruffle twirl skirt

This skirt is adorable. Especially for the 4th of July! So go check out Treasures for Tots for this easy step by step tutorial! I would love to make one of these :)

thrifty

Jordan Lee is my cousin... and I like to steal tons of things off of her blog. :) Here is a picture of a super cheap craft that she did. She went into the D.I. (Deseret Industries) and found a key hook/mail holder that was cute, but needed a little fixing. The finished product is below:

There isn't really a full tutorial, so I will just tell you what she said, "First, I sanded it and painted it white and sanded the edges. Then, I cut out scrapbook paper and modgepodged it on the backs of the mail slots. It was only a buck, so I figured if I messed up it wouldn't be a big deal. It was a fun project!"

You probably won't be able to go in and find this exact same thing, but you might be able to find something similar!
