I wanted to make a gift for my nieces. Something they could use, but something not too difficult to create since it’s so last minute. We also have a spending limit of $10, so I decided I would recreate this really cool burlap bulletin board I saw at Ballard Designs: Burlap Message Board. I wanted [...]
I love to take photos! In fact I just bought a brand new D5100 Nikon DSLR camera a couple weeks ago so I can take even more photos, and learn more about taking great pictures. The only problem I have is how to back all those photos up. I print out some, use some on [...]

I love to do crafty things, but I never can find what I’m looking for when I’m in the middle of creating. I know I have it there somewhere, but where is the big question. I’ve always kept all my crafting supplies in plastic totes. Brother gave me the the opportunity to revamp my craft [...]
