Reintroduction

Hello! Welcome to my blog!

        I guess I should tell you a little bit about myself. My name is Kim. I'm 37 and I live in Utah with my husband and 2 amazing boys. I'm a stay at home mom keeping busy with my children especially during this pandemic. I'm a painter, a crafter, a miniature haunted house maker, as well as someone who occasionally makes-over furniture. My husband works in video production and is one of the most creative people i know, aside from my son who builds the most amazing lego creations. My other son is a wizard at making messes which tends to come with his age.

        I started this blog in 2012 as a way to share my projects and hopefully spread some laughter. Eventually I became too busy as I was trying to figure out how to juggle life. But now I am feeling passionate again and I'm ready to resurrect the blog that i created so many years ago. I always have a project going and would love to show you how you can do these projects too! I have linked up this blog with my youtube channel were I put time lapses and further instruction on how I do my projects. Feel free to visit there to see what else I'm up to.

          I hope you enjoy looking around and hopefully find something you are excited to try! Creativity brings me happiness and I encourage all to find it in their lives too.

DIY Tiger Invitations & Template Download

      My little baby bean is turning  ONE!  Where does the time go? I wish he would stay a baby a bit longer, but I'm excited to see all of his new accomplishments and to watch him grow. Sigh.       I really wanted to get some cute invitations printed for his first birthday party and I had my eye on these adorable ones that looked like it was written on chalkboard. They were "supposed to be" 99 cents each and since I was only getting a few of them I thought "Great! They're perfect!" I was all ready to check out on the website but the price changed because I wasn't ordering a mass quantity. So I changed my order to 15 hoping it would help. It didn't. It wanted me to pay $45 for 15 cards though I only really needed 8. I was sooo disappointed and honestly just not willing to pay that amount just for invitations. Plus im cheap! I wont say which website it was because I don't like dragging names through the dirt and because I have gotten

DIY Ball Toss Game

Make a ball toss game! Here's the tutorial... (Btw this thing ended up being about 5'5" and AWESOME) You will need: 5 large boxes (I used 4 lrg 1 med. I wouldnt recommend it) 4 White Poster Boards Pencil Scissors Exacto-knife Duct Tape Hot Glue Gun Paint Step 1:  A.) With ONE of the large boxes, lay it flat and cut it at the creases on each side so you have two flat square pieces like this one. These pieces are going to be your slanted bottoms inside the game and your "scrap board".   B.) Fold the other boxes so they are up and ready to be used (like a normal box).  C.) Set one of the boxes on top of each square piece (from step A) and draw a line following the bottom edge of the box going the whole length of the square. This line is going to show you how wide the inside of the box is. Though the width should match the inside of the box, the length should me much longer so that the only way it fits inside the box is
