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.

      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

   Today has been quite the lazy day. My back is giving me grief so i am taking it easy. However, relaxing isn't an easy thing for me personally. I can't watch tv for long periods of time because i start looking around the room thinking of things i should be doing instead of watching tv. Sounds great, yeah? "How productive of her!"  No! I mean it is a great joy of mine to cross things off a to do list. The downside is that I tend to get carried away with organization, cleaning and just getting things done around the house. I will spend an hour organizing papers, or just cleaning one little room in our apartment. I try to accomplish too much and i end up hurting my back yet again. Then i am incapable of doing much the next day.        This is the reason i have done nothing today. So, I am forced to take some time to do the things that keep me sane. I am trying to get back into my art and writing. It has been a huge void in my life that i have ignored for a couple of

Baby's First Birthday Party!!

Image
         My son's birthday was a few weeks ago and since it was going to be my first rodeo at this type of thing I really wanted things to go as smoothly as possible. I have a lot of nephews and nieces and there were a few of my friends and their kids that I wanted to invite so the attendance list was HUGE. Of the 31 that were invited 25 showed. That is a lot of people for me and probably a bit overboard for a first birthday, but who cares right? I dont think there's a rule book on first birthdays... Is there?          If you're like me you may have an enormous Pinterest collection of projects you only dream of doing. Well no more! I made some of the decorations I pinned a while ago and used them for the party. I also wanted to be able to focus more on my child and taking pictures rather than sort of conducting the activities and whatnot, so I thought what better way than to set up activity booths and let the kids just go at it? I think it went pretty well. Here's what
