In a few simple words, this is why I love art. Somehow, getting lost in your own work allows you time to think and become things you never imagined. Join us in the #onething project on Google+ and create something (anything) new every day. Use the hashtag! There are so many opportunities to create and to find yourself… or lose yourself. Whichever you prefer.

DIY Girly Baby Headband
My cousin is going to be having a baby girl soon and I went to her baby shower yesterday. She had a craft table set up with stretchy handbands, felt, buttons, hot glue and other fun stuff so that each person there could make a headband for her new baby. (She’s crafty like that and I love it!) I thought this would make a great Make Something Mondays project for those of you who have little girls of your own or know someone who might be having one soon. Read the whole post

DIY Painted Glass Mug
This is such a fun mug! I was browsing at Michael’s and found this glass mason jar with a handle and thought it would look really cute with a stenciled design on it. I also found a colored lid with a hole for a straw. I could already see it in my mind.
Things You Will Need:
Lid
Straw
Stencil
Mason jar
Paint brush
Glass paint
*Get reusable stencils. They stick to whatever you’re painting on and come clean with hot water. Read the whole post

DIY Washi Tape Candy Jar
Everyone needs to spice up their decorations once in a while, but that can get expensive. Some people like to spend the money to do that, but I am not one of them. As you’ve probably noticed from my Make Something Monday’s crafts, I’m a little bit frugal. So, for this week’s DIY project, I decided to go with a fun and frugal craft. It’s super easy to make and took about 15 minutes to make, not including drying time. Read the whole post

Hanging Jewelry Organizer
I have a lot of jewelry but there are only a few pieces that I wear on a regular basis. Until today, that jewelry was stuffed into a jewelry box. That’s not always a bad thing but I constantly found myself untangling necklaces and digging for the second earring. So I decided to make my own hanging jewelry organizer so that I could easily find the things I was looking for. It costed about $25 to make and seems to work well. Read the whole post

No Craft on Monday Due to Overactivity
My best friend’s bridal shower and bachelorette party was this past weekend and I’ve been preparing everything (along with the help of her wonderful bridesmaids, mom, and soon-to-be mother in law). We’ve been cooking, making decorations, shopping, etc. to get ready for the festivities.
So, instead of making a craft this week, I’ve decided to share some pictures with you from the shower. They aren’t amazing or anything because I took them with my phone really quickly before the shower started, but you’ll get the gist. Read the whole post

DIY Mason Jar LED Candle Decor
Summer is here and you’re going to need some cute indoor/outdoor decor for your bridal showers, bonfires and various other parties. So, I made a tutorial for this really cute DIY mason jar candle decor with LED lights so you can take them outside without the winding blowing the flame out. It costs about $4 to make one of these and took less than 5 mins. It would cost less if you used only one color of water pearls. Read the whole post

DIY Dad’s Stache Father’s Day Jar
My dad’s birthday and Father’s Day are within 1 week of each other. Each year we usually go do something like whitewater rafting, but this year he said he just wanted to get dinner.
So, along with dinner, I made him a Dad’s stache jar and got a few gift cards I knew he would use. He’s a big car guy and he’s always working on a new car project, so I knew he would use the Auto Zone gift cards. Read the whole post
